A Study Of The Settlement Of Slimes, William Simpson Hall, James Crawford Compton Jan 1909

A Study Of The Settlement Of Slimes, William Simpson Hall, James Crawford Compton

Bachelors Theses

"The purpose of this thesis, as originally planned, was to determine the effect produced by certain substances called electrolytes upon the mill product known as "slimes". The subject presented an ever increasing number of new problems as it progressed and some work along the line of several of these branches is embodied in the following pages. Reports of investigation and behavior of slimes when treated for quick settlement are few and unsatisfactory. Our results may prove nothing already unknown, but the fact that so little data is easily accesible sic has been the motive for this thesis"--Preface, page 1.

Radiation Losses In Metallurgical Furnaces, Frank Richard Loveridge Jan 1909

Radiation Losses In Metallurgical Furnaces, Frank Richard Loveridge

Bachelors Theses

"The conduction and radiation of heat are of great importance in metallurgy. Metallurgical operations require, in the great majority of cases, temperatures above those of normal atmospheric conditions. Loss of heat is loss of dollars. Furnaces of all kinds allow to pass their walls a greater or less amount of heat, i.e. heat is lost by conduction and by radiation. This heat is often spoken of as radiation loss. It is due to the heat being conducted from the inside to the outside of the furnace. The materials of construction, and manner of building the furnace has much to do …

Pot Roasting Of Lead Ores, Ralph Robert Benedict, Edward Phillip Barrett, Frank William Harper Jan 1908

Pot Roasting Of Lead Ores, Ralph Robert Benedict, Edward Phillip Barrett, Frank William Harper

Bachelors Theses

"In this thesis for a starting point, we attempted a roast of straight galena with no diluent. As anticipated the results were nil. We next attempted the roast with a mixture of galena and silica, and obtained fair results. Our next experiment was to use limestone with the galena. Because of the large percentage of limestone present the results were not satisfactory. Next pyrites and limestone were used with the galena, and excellent results were obtained. We made another run, using pyrites and limestone, but increasing the per-centage of galena by 25%. This run was also very successful. From these …

Effect Of Arsenic On Assay For Gold And Silver, Rosco Conkling Ham, Frederick Arnold Moore Jan 1908

Effect Of Arsenic On Assay For Gold And Silver, Rosco Conkling Ham, Frederick Arnold Moore

Bachelors Theses

"In presenting the within thesis, it is not claimed by the authors that the experiments have been, by any means, exhaustive of the subject. Neither is any claim made to original research work other than a series of simple experiments with a view to determining, if possible, some of the more important effects of Arsenic upon a fire assay for gold and silver as met with in the ordinary assay laboratory. To make a work complete and exhaustive on such a subject will require much more time and more complete apparatus than was available in the experiments covered by this …

Efficiency Of Mill Practice In The Joplin District, Ira Lee Wright Jan 1907

Efficiency Of Mill Practice In The Joplin District, Ira Lee Wright

Bachelors Theses

"Milling in the Joplin District is, compared with the practice in other zinc fields, seemingly very crude. To one unacquainted with the peculiar conditions of this district, the amount of ore which goes into the tailing pile seems unnecessarily high. There are several things which account for the low saving made"--page 1.

A Special Investigation In Concrete Steel And Application To Square Set System, Horace Alonzo Hand Jan 1906

A Special Investigation In Concrete Steel And Application To Square Set System, Horace Alonzo Hand

Bachelors Theses

"This investigation has been prompted, first, by a desire to become more familiar with concrete-steel in its general application to engineering construction, second, by the inevitable necessity of a substitute in the near future for lumber in mining construction. In first case, a thorough review has been made of principles and practice in the construction of concrete-steel structures in general, including bridges, water towers, reservoirs, viaducts, etc., as found in current engineering journals, which is the most up-to-date source of information available. Special attention has been given to best practice in reinforcing concrete to resist forces of bending, shearing, torsion …


Copper Matting Blast Furnace Run, John Vivian Stevens, Frank Bowman Powell, John Dozier Shanks Jan 1906

Copper Matting Blast Furnace Run, John Vivian Stevens, Frank Bowman Powell, John Dozier Shanks

Bachelors Theses

"The theory of the copper blast furnace run having been given us in the class room, we wishing to familiarize ourselves with the practical processes and the difficulties involved, selected it as the basis of an investigation of which the following is a correct report. The original ore was a high grade copper sulphide from the Ducktown, Tenn. district to which was added some heavy pyritic ore from various quarters. The latter was added to furnish the iron oxide necessary as a flux in the blast furnace and sulphur in sufficient amount to make the ore self roasting when charged …

Treatment Of Joplin Tailings, Preston King Horner Jan 1906

Treatment Of Joplin Tailings, Preston King Horner

Bachelors Theses

"In the Joplin region are enormous piles of tailings, that for waste material, run very high in blende. This is due mainly to the temporary character of the mills which are built with more regard to low first cost than to receiving a high percentage of extraction. As a result we have some piles of tailings containing from 200,000 to 300,000 tons of materials that will average from about 2 to 3% zinc, and all crushed so as to pass through about #2 mesh"--Page 1.

The Lignite Coal Of North Dakota, Clyde Mckeever Laizure, James Knight Christopher Jan 1905

The Lignite Coal Of North Dakota, Clyde Mckeever Laizure, James Knight Christopher

Bachelors Theses

"Owing to the great abundance of coal, both anthracite and bituminous, in the United States, no state need suffer for the lack of it, but to those states like North Dakota, situated in the great plains region and at great distances from such coal supplies, the price of these coals makes them almost luxuries. In the last few years however, the development of the lignite coal within the state of North Dakota has shown an abundance of fuel for many years to come, which, though at one time considered "A poor excuse for poor wood," now competes successfully with any …
