The Recovery Of Zinc From Butte Mine Waters, Edmond M. Fern May 1942

The Recovery Of Zinc From Butte Mine Waters, Edmond M. Fern

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Very little work has been done towards the recovery of zinc from mine water because the zinc content of the water is generally low. As different from copper, which can very easily be replaced by iron in any of its solutions, zinc is very high up in the electro-chemical series and so the few metals above zinc, most of which are rare and hence expensive, cannot be used to replace zinc from its solution.


Some Leaching Characteristics Of The Butte Rhodochrosite, W. L. Slosson May 1942

Some Leaching Characteristics Of The Butte Rhodochrosite, W. L. Slosson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

With the increasing importance of manganese in the metallurgical fields of today and tomorrow, ex­tensive work along the lines of its successful ex­ploitation has been accomplished by many investiga­tors. Since tie current world situation has shut off most of our supply of high-grade manganese ores from foreign sources, the low-grade domestic deposits have entered the fields of investigation very rapidly.


Mineral Occurences In Certain Pegmatite Dikes In Southwestern Montana, Jacob N. Jovick May 1942

Mineral Occurences In Certain Pegmatite Dikes In Southwestern Montana, Jacob N. Jovick

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Pegmatite dikes are rather common in occurrence in parts of southwestern Montana, particularly in a region to the east of the Tobacco Root range 50 to 75 miles southeast of Butte.


Chromite Deposits Near Red Lodge And Silver Star, Montana, Edmond F. Smigel Apr 1942

Chromite Deposits Near Red Lodge And Silver Star, Montana, Edmond F. Smigel

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The Red Lodge and Silver Star chromite deposits of Montana have stimulated much interest during periods of war. The Red Lodge deposit is 25 miles southwest of Red Lodge which is also the nearest railroad point. Several workings are scattered throughout the area, exposing lense-like ore bodies averaging 33% chrome oxide. Silver Star is a much smaller deposit 5 miles west of Silver Star, Montana, which is its nearest rail­road point. Lenses of chromite are exposed by pits and trench­es, which average approximately 36% chromic oxide.
