Time Of Set And Ph In Silicic Acid Gels, E August Laurence

Honors Theses

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the time of set and the hydrogen ion concentration of a silicic acid gel, basic in nature. A gel prepared from a mixture of 1.2511 normal sodium silicate solution and 1.0158 normal ammonium chloride was used for this purpose. The possibility of measuring the hydrogen ion concentration by the indicator method was used with considerable success by Prasad and Halliangadi (1). Previous work on this problem at Union by Marotta (2) pointed out the uncertainty of the glass electrode method due to the effect of the silicate on the electrode. The possibility …

Study And Correlation Of Belt And Cambrian Arkoses Near Limespur, Montana, Ryan C. Mcnamee

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the vicinity of Limespur, Montana, a siding along the Northern Pacific Railroad near Whitehall, Montana, occurs a characteristic type of arkose where­ in many small red mineral grains are distributed throughout the rock mass. It is in this respect that this arkose differs from other arkoses in the surrounding region.

Solution To Theory Of Equations For Teachers And Graduate Students, Arthur Lawrence Birkholz

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis is intended primarily for teachers and graduate students who often find it necessary to review all or part of the basic theorems in the study of equations. Dickson's excellent book on the subject, "First Course in the Theory of Equations", is a recognized authority, so to facilitate a study of this book the writer has worked the problems suggested by Dickson, because these problems, more than any explanation could, illustrate and simplify the theorems on equations.

The user of this work-must bear in mind that there may be several ways of working many of the problems, and hence …

The Efficiency Of Approximation Formulae For Determining The Rate Of Interest In Amortization Schedules, Wade Ellis

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

The problem of this study is to determine the relative efficiency of the more important formulae for approximating the rate of interest involved in an amortization plan when the amount of the debt, the amount of the periodic payment, and the number of periods are known. By efficiency this meant the degree of accuracy obtainable, and the time required for solution.

Alkali Leaching Of Antimony Sulphide And Electrolytic Recovery Of Antimony From The Resulting Leach Solution, Vincent J. Andrews

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

It is the purpose of this investigation to obtain some insight into optimum conditions for leaching Stib­nite with sodium hydroxide solution and also to steady the factors affecting the electrolysis of the resulting solution.

Age Hardening Of Silver-Platinum Alloys, Robert A. Wilson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The alloy system selected for study was the binary alloy of platinum and silver. An examination of the various silver alloy diagrams revealed that of several possible alloys, the silver platinum was the most suit­able with regard to solubility.

Electrolytic Recovery Of Copper And Zinc From Brass., V. Kent Loughran

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The reclamation of metals from scrap is becoming increasingly important in the metallurgical industry. Copper, because it does not corrode readily and is electronegative to most common metals, is peculiarly adapted to reclamation.

Magnesium - Tellurium By Powder Methods, George Gale

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Today considerable work is being done in the compressed metal powder field which is gradually ob­taining prominence as a valuable branch of metallurgy. The mass of data, however, has led to many different ideas on the results of sintering.

A Proposed Method For Classifying And Evaluating Soils On The Basis Of Productivity And Use Suitabilities, Arthur Anderson, A. P. Nelson, F. A. Hayes, I. D. Wood

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

It is the object of this paper to present a method for classifying and evaluating the soils as mapped in regular soil surveys on the basis of land types, which are here defined as areas having reasonably similar productivity and use suitabilities. The standards used to differentiate land types will vary according to the desired objectives, but any material difference in yield, or in practices necessary to maintain a desirable level of productivity will justify recognition of land types. The proposed procedure involves a more detailed study of the influence which soils, slope, erosion, and drainage have on specific crops …

Geology And Ore Deposits Of The Golden Messenger Mine, Lewis And Clark County, Helena, Montana., John C. Archibald Jr.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The Golden Messenger Mine which is approximately twenty-three miles northeast of Helena, Montana, near York, on Trout Creek, has long presented several problems of both theoretical and practical interest.

A Rapid Determination Of Small Amounts Of Lead In Zinc, George T. Hanson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This investigation, carried on in the metallur­gical laboratories at the Montana School of Mines, was undertaken with the desire to work out a rapid method for the estimation, or the determination, of the amount of lead in zinc.

The Geology And Ore Deposits Of Jardine, Montana, Wolter Duykers

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The subject to be covered by this paper is based upon field study made during a six week stay at Jardine. The work began on June 19, 1937 and ended on July 31 of the same year.

The Electrodeposition Of Manganese From Certain Aqueous Solutions., William C. Wallace

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Manganese has been successfully electrodeposited from aqueous solutions in past years by several work­ers in electrochemical and electrometallurgical fields.

The present work was concerned, primarily, with investigation of electrodeposition from solutions which are commercially obtainable from the hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical treatment of the low grade mangan­ese deposits of this country.

The Geology Of The Southern Central Portion Of The Morrison Cave Area., Arthur Talpt

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Morrison Cave is located about 50 miles southeast of Butte, Montana. It was named after the man who discovered it. Later it was taken over by the State and renamed Morrison Cave State Park. Recently the government with the aid of the Civilian Conservation Corps has built a new road to the cave and has made the interior more accessible. The name of the cave is now Lewis and Clark Cavern National Monument.

A Mechanical Analysis Of The Oriskany Sandstone In Northwestern Virginia, Selma G. Hirsh

Honors Papers

The primary purpose of this paper is to present specific data as a means of explaining the sedimentation conditions at the time of deposition of the Oriskany Sandstone. The data were obtained through the use of laboratory methods upon specimens taken from several outcrops in the vicinity of Monterey, Virginia (see Darton's U.S.G.S. folio No. 51). In addition to the presentation of objective results, the author has attempted to make tentative interpretations of them, based primarily upon textural and shape analysis of the sediment. The writer realizes that the investigation is inadequate in many respects, due to lack of time …
