Leaching Copper Tailings, Howard Gove Halsey, Frederick Gallaway Moses
Leaching Copper Tailings, Howard Gove Halsey, Frederick Gallaway Moses
Bachelors Theses
"There are, scattered throughout the country, enormous amounts of rock that, by the discovery of a quick, cheap, and practiable sic method of extracting their metallic content could be turned into valuable ores. This has already been accomplished for gold and silver by the adaption of the cyanide method to their treatment. The next in order, both because of the value of the metal and the amount of material available in mill dumps and in the ground, is copper. there are dumps containing millions of tons of this material lying idle because of the fact that with the present methods …

A Comparison Of Crushing Machines, Clyde Willis Hall, Walter Henry Wager
A Comparison Of Crushing Machines, Clyde Willis Hall, Walter Henry Wager
Bachelors Theses
"Much has been written on the comparative efficiency of the various sorts of crushing machines used in the art of Ore Dressing, but it must be confessed that the subject has by no means been reduced to one of the exact sciences as yet. This is rather a sad condition of affairs, for as is of course apparent to the most casual observer, the whole fabric of ore dressing rests and depends to a large degree on the efficiency and economy of the crushing machinery. Inefficient crushing means high costs, irrespective of the thoroughness and cheapness with which the ensuing …
Flotation Applied To Joplin Sludge, Thaddeus C. Wilson, Gustaf Axel Hellstrand
Flotation Applied To Joplin Sludge, Thaddeus C. Wilson, Gustaf Axel Hellstrand
Bachelors Theses
"The sludge (fine material) which daily is being sent to the tailing dump by the Joplin mills contains values in lead and zinc often in excess, as to percentage, of that of the crude ore. At present no attempt is being made to treat this It is at this point that it is proposed to introduce some flotation process to supplement the ordinary scheme of wet concentration. With this end in view we have conducted a series of experiments in the flotation of a Joplin sludge"--page 2-3.

Roasting Pyrite For Magnetism With Minimum Sulphur Volatilization, Dale Irwin Hayes, Clark Watson Wright
Roasting Pyrite For Magnetism With Minimum Sulphur Volatilization, Dale Irwin Hayes, Clark Watson Wright
Bachelors Theses
"In Wisconsin and other zinc mining districts the blende is frequently found associated with pyrite and marcasite. In the Wisconsin district, especially, the marcasite content of the mine-run ore is high being frequently equal to and in many cases greater than the sphalerite content. At time the marcasite and sphalerite together constitute as much as 25 or 30% of the min-run ore. The characteristic milling treatment of this ore is; first, hand-picking, and then over grizzlies, tromells, rougher and cleaner jigs. Owing to the fact that marcasite and sphalerite differ but slightly in specific gravity the jig concentrate obtained is …

The Measurement Of Compressed Air And Its Consumption In Rock Drills, Homer Kent Sherry, William Porri
Bachelors Theses
"The object of this thesis is to investigate the measurement of compressed air and to determine its consumption in rock drills. Our intention at first was to run more exhaustive tests on the drills, but due to the large amount of work necessary in rigging up the apparatus and computing results, we found it necessary to curtail our work to representative types of the hammer and the piston machines. We regret being unable to give more complete data in regard to the drills, but hope to point out fields for future work since, with the increased facilities now at hand, …
Efficiency Of The Missouri School Of Mines Power Plant And Cost Of Operation, Cairy C. Conover, John Richardson Kenney, Louie Lincoln Coover
Efficiency Of The Missouri School Of Mines Power Plant And Cost Of Operation, Cairy C. Conover, John Richardson Kenney, Louie Lincoln Coover
Bachelors Theses
"These tests were made for the purpose of getting the efficiency of the electric power plant as it was being run and the cost of operating it. Tests were first made on the boilers separately. The load at the time of the test was too heavy for one boiler and too light for tow, part of the steam being used for heating the buildings and for the air-compressor. This made it so that no combined test of the boilers and generating couple could be made until the warm weather came and the laboratories using compressed air were closed, which was …

Evidence Relative To The Effect Of Mechanical Mixing Of Charges In The Fire Assay, James Keller Beach
Evidence Relative To The Effect Of Mechanical Mixing Of Charges In The Fire Assay, James Keller Beach
Bachelors Theses
"While mixing has always been suggested in the text books, on assaying, yet it seems that experimental data as to the effect of lack of mixing, or insufficient mixing, is not available. This thesis was conducted in an effort to determine just what variation and irregularity in the fusion of gold and silver ore was caused by non-mixing; i. e., whether the fusion took place in the same length of time, whether the fusion was complete, whether the values were collected and, in general, just what irregularities were incurred"--Statement of the Problem, page 2.
