Flotation Applied To Silicate Sludge, Yaro Klepel, Greene Erskine

Bachelors Theses

"Within the past few years great success has been made of the flotation of sulfids, and to a certain extent of carbonates.

Since sulfids are easily recovered by flotation it seems practicable that silicates could be made to float by first sulfidizing them, and then subjecting them to ordinary flotation treatment.

This problem involves the treatment of a silicate sludge obtained from the Joplin district, the sludge will easily pass through a 250 mesh screen. At the present time this sludge is being sent to the tailings pond.

The experimental work of this thesis was done along the line of …

Design Of A Lead Blast Furnace, Walter Irving Phillips, Andrew Jackson Seltzer

Bachelors Theses

"In order to get the approximate size of the Furnace we made the following assumptions, being guided as far as possible by the practice of the Globe Smelting Works at Denver, Colorado whenever that could be ascertained"--page 1.

Analytical Determination Of Copper Products, Charles Dosh Smith

Bachelors Theses

"It is a well known fact that the presence of impurities in copper products has been a source of annoyance to the Chemist. The object of this thesis was to make myself familiar with the actions of different impurities in copper products, and the methods for the determination of Arsenic in the same"--page 1.

Neutralization Of Free Acid (H₃P O₄) In Commercial Mono-Calcium Phosphate (Ca H₄ (Po₄), George William Harris, Harry Adam Grine

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this thesis has been a systematic research based on the characteristic properties and reactions of mono-calcium phosphate, Ca H₄ (PO₄)₂, tending towards the development of a process for neutralizing the free phosphoric acid, H₃PO₄ formed during its manufacture"--page 1.

Action Of Caustic Hydroxides Upon Aluminum, Herbert Fordyce. Rogers

Assay Of Copper Matte For Gold And Silver, Walter E. Soest

Bachelors Theses

"Ores containing copper, and especially copper matte, have always been very annoying in assaying for the precious metals. In assaying copper matte, and ores containing much copper, by the usual method of scorification, the losses of silver an gold are considerable, owing to the fact that in order to obtain lead buttons, which are soft and free from copper, repeated scorifications are necessary, and moreover it is impossible to obtain lead buttons which are entirely free from copper"--page 1.

Producer Gas, Edward P. Dwyer

Bachelors Theses

"Producer gas, so named owing to being produced in special forms of apparatus known as Producers. The fuel is decomposed into combustible gases, whereby most of the C is burnt to CO, whilst the H either remains free, or is converted into carburretted Hydrogen. Directly above the grate carbonic anhydride is formed but thus is rapidly converted into carbonic oxide; reaction as follows: CO₂ + C = 2CO.

Amongst these heavy carburetted hydrogen (C₂H₄) is that which principally increases the value of the gas as fuel and the drier the fuel used the more of the gas is produced. A …
