Physico-Chemical Principles Of Sixteenth Century Metallurgy, Robert E. Johnson
Physico-Chemical Principles Of Sixteenth Century Metallurgy, Robert E. Johnson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Following a review of sixteenth century metallurgical literature and a discussion of Gibbs free energy, this thesis discusses thermodynamic considerations of galena (PbS) reduction by iron from a lead assay of this period. The importance of fluxes in this assay is emphasized. The discussion covers both equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions at 1100 degrees Celsius. Possible substitutes for iron are also covered.
Information from twenty-one small controlled lead assays is correlated with the thermodynamic discussion to determine the purpose of each constituent in the assay.
Flotation Of A Complex Sulphide Ore Containing Tetrahedrite, James C. O'Dea, Lorimer W. Hoar
Flotation Of A Complex Sulphide Ore Containing Tetrahedrite, James C. O'Dea, Lorimer W. Hoar
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The ore investigated in this thesis is a zinc-copper-lead ore. Microscopic analysis of this complex sulphide ore showed it to contain pyrite, sphalerite, arsenopyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, and covellite, with quartz as the gangue constituent.

Concentration By Flotation Of A Complex Galena - Sphalerite - Chalcopyrite Ore From The Nine Mile District Near Missoula, Montana, Truxton J. Fisher, John L. Tokich
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
At the present time ore bodies being mined are becoming more and more complex in mineral association, thus presenting a more difficult problem in their concentration. Lead-zinc sulphide ores are among the more common ores which present such difficulties.

Electrolysis Of Molten Mixtures Of Galena And Lead Chloride., Donald Q. Cole
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Electrolysis of molten mixtures of lead chloride and galena was carried out under various conditions of temperature, time, composition, and current densities; without a diaphram, and with various diaphrams. Continuous runs, with necessary additions of lead sulfide and lead chloride to maintain a melt of the proper composition, were attempted on a small scale.
