The Occurrences Of Non-Metallic Minerals In Montana, Samuel T. Mitchell Jun 1951

The Occurrences Of Non-Metallic Minerals In Montana, Samuel T. Mitchell

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This thesis is essentially an abstract of the literature concerning occurrences in Montana of minerals with a non-metallic luster. The dis­cussions give a general description of the occurrences of minerals as reported by the various references, but is not complete as less than 40 percent of the non-metallic minerals known to exist in Montana are discussed.


Sulphidizing Of Cerussite, Emil A. Kovacevich May 1951

Sulphidizing Of Cerussite, Emil A. Kovacevich

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The oxide minerals, such as cerussite, are not as amen­able to flotation as the sulphide minerals. Sulphidization is the usual means used today to increase the recovery of an oxide flotation; however, sulphidization under the most ad­vantageous conditions does not yield very satisfactory re­coveries.


Differential Thermal Analysis Of Some Carbonate Minerals, Paul L. Vandeveer May 1951

Differential Thermal Analysis Of Some Carbonate Minerals, Paul L. Vandeveer

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Thermal analysis is a relatively new method of determining the general composition of certain mineral substances. As is demonstrated by much of the literature previously written, clays and carbonates are especially adaptable to this method. The full importance of the method is not as yet realized, but it is rapidly approaching that point.


Chemical Analysis Of Igneous Rocks And Variation Diagrams Of Petrographic Provinces Of Montana, Frederick M. Hilpert May 1951

Chemical Analysis Of Igneous Rocks And Variation Diagrams Of Petrographic Provinces Of Montana, Frederick M. Hilpert

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

A total of 179 chemical analyses of igneous rocks are avail­able for the state of Montana, but these analyses do not cover the entire state in a satisfactory manner. There has been an emphasis on the central part of the state, and an almost complete lack of interest in the southern portion of Montana.


The Electrolytic Purification Of An Impure Cadmium Sulfate Solution With A Cell Utilizing A Mercury Cathode And A Lead Anode, W. D. Mcmaster May 1951

The Electrolytic Purification Of An Impure Cadmium Sulfate Solution With A Cell Utilizing A Mercury Cathode And A Lead Anode, W. D. Mcmaster

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Cadmium is produced solely as a by-product and all cadmium of commerce is obtained from zinc ores. It is a rare occurrence when zinc deposits are found which do not contain some cadmium.


Determination Of The Activities Of Indium And Mercury And The Vapor Pressures Of Mercury Over These Amalgams From 0.00216 To 0.02494 Mole Fraction Indium At 25 C And From 0.00067 To 0.02410 Mole Fraction Indium At 70 C By Electromotive Force Measurements, Arthur H. Lutts May 1951

Determination Of The Activities Of Indium And Mercury And The Vapor Pressures Of Mercury Over These Amalgams From 0.00216 To 0.02494 Mole Fraction Indium At 25 C And From 0.00067 To 0.02410 Mole Fraction Indium At 70 C By Electromotive Force Measurements, Arthur H. Lutts

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This work was performed to determine by experimental means the activities of both indium and mercury and the vapor pressures of mercury over these amalgams at 25 and 70 C.


Electrowinning Versus Electrorefining Of Blister Copper, Frank J. Vorell May 1951

Electrowinning Versus Electrorefining Of Blister Copper, Frank J. Vorell

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the following sections of this report, I will discuss as fully as possible both the theo­retical and practical aspects of the roasting, leaching, and electrowinning steps, as well as the economic considerations of the process. The results of my laboratory work will, of course, be integrated to the process.


Metal Production From Ore Deposits In Different Host Rocks In Montana, Robert F. Gale May 1951

Metal Production From Ore Deposits In Different Host Rocks In Montana, Robert F. Gale

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

It is known that many different kinds of rocks serve as host to the ore deposits of Montana, but the relative importance of each of these kinds of rock as a host for ore deposits has never been described in any published report.


A Microscopic Study Of The Ore Minerals From The Mines In The Northern Part Of The Zosell (Emery) Mining District, John P. Joyce May 1951

A Microscopic Study Of The Ore Minerals From The Mines In The Northern Part Of The Zosell (Emery) Mining District, John P. Joyce

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Any investigation of the many gold silver producing districts of Montana will necessarily include the name Zosell. The Zosell Mining District, often referred to as the Emery District, was never a major producer in the state; however, its location, history, type of deposit, and char­acter of ore, has drawn the interest of many prominent investigators of the mineral industry.


Production Of Sponge Iron From Pyrites, Robert W. Leeson May 1951

Production Of Sponge Iron From Pyrites, Robert W. Leeson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this thesis is to record and discuss the results of tests conducted, at the Montana School of Mines, in which pyrite concentrates from the Concentrator Department of the Anaconda Reduction Works, Anaconda, Montana, were subjected to the reducing effects of natural gas at elevated temperatures in an endeavor to produce iron in the metallic form.


The Construction Of A Ferromagnetic Torsion Balance, Elliott Willner May 1951

The Construction Of A Ferromagnetic Torsion Balance, Elliott Willner

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The construction of the apparatus was performed entirely in the machine shops at the Montana School of Mines. The materials utilized in the construction were obtained through the courtesy of many sources: the A. C. M. Co., the Montana Power Co., and the Western Iron Works.


Possible Mineral Resources University Land Grant, Montana School Of Mines Lands, Eugene S. Perry Feb 1951

Possible Mineral Resources University Land Grant, Montana School Of Mines Lands, Eugene S. Perry

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The following evaluation of the mineral resources of the University Land-Grant lands has been made from an office study of geologic maps and published reports, and from a rather thorough knowledge of the geology of the state by the writer after 23 years of experience in the state.
