The Separation Of The Rare Earths Neodymium And Praseodymium By Precipitation As Chloride, Stanley Milton Kulifay Jan 1947

The Separation Of The Rare Earths Neodymium And Praseodymium By Precipitation As Chloride, Stanley Milton Kulifay

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this thesis is to provide a means of preparing highly purified samples of neodymium and praseodymium compounds when the material to be refined already exists in a state of approximate purity. The method described cannot be profitably used to purify the individual rare earths without first concentrating them. The process is not intended to be quantitative, for it is a fractional crystallization technique using a concentrated hydrochloric acid medium"--Introduction, page 1.

Geology Of The Einstein-Apex Tungsten Mine Area, Joel B. Pomerene Jan 1947

Geology Of The Einstein-Apex Tungsten Mine Area, Joel B. Pomerene

Masters Theses

"The geological problem existing in the Silver Mine area, the relationship of mineralization to structure, particularly to faulting and jointing, was pointed out to the writer by Prof. O. R. Grawe. Several geologists have made reconnaisance [sic] surveys of the whole region, but so far no detailed geologic map has been published of the immediate area. Prof. Grawe pointed out that such a map would be of value in the better understanding of the area and would be especially useful in the event that another national emergency required the development of all possible sources of tungsten"--Introduction, Selection of the Problem, …

An Investigation Of The Colorimetric Methods For The Determination Of Fluorine By The Zirconium Alizarin Sulfonate Method, William Lewis Break Jan 1947

An Investigation Of The Colorimetric Methods For The Determination Of Fluorine By The Zirconium Alizarin Sulfonate Method, William Lewis Break

Masters Theses

"There has been a need for a rapid and an accurate method for the determination of fluorine in its compounds. Both gravimetric and volumetric methods have been studied, but both methods were time consuming or inaccurate or both. Colorimetric methods had been studied before F. Richter developed his method but none had been reported to be as satisfactory as his method. This method was investigated because it was thought that F. Richter's method would be a satisfactory colorimetric determination for fluorine in its compounds"--Introduction, page 1.

Studies In The Determination Of Iodine In Soils Organic Materials, And Waters, Russell T. Lundell Aug 1946

Studies In The Determination Of Iodine In Soils Organic Materials, And Waters, Russell T. Lundell

Theses and Dissertations

A summary of the literature on the nutritional value of iodine in the diet of various forms of life is given. The majority of evidence indicates that iodine is an essential element in plant and animal nutrition. It functions particularly in animal metabolism in the form of thyroxine. The occurrence of iodine in a nature has been briefly discussed. Investigations made in this regard indicate iodine to be almost universally distributed in very minute amounts. Most iodine salts are soluble in water and their distribution is affected by water movements. Results of iodine determinations made during the course of this …

A Study Of Retention Of Percentage, Fred Dellett Jul 1946

A Study Of Retention Of Percentage, Fred Dellett

Master's Theses

The problem of this thesis was to determine by means of a test the retention of the fundamentals of percentage as shown by beginning eighth grade pupils, who were taught percentage the previous year in the seventh grade. The fundamentals of percentage are here considered as the changing of percents to decimal fractions or common fractions, the reverse procedures, and the three types of problems arising from the relation, base times rate equals part. These quantities, base, rate, and part, are represented in the example, 300 X 12% = 36, respectively. Because of the inherent relationship of decimal fractions and …

Geology And Ore Deposits Of The Dunmore Mine, Ouray County, Colorado, Caswell Silver Jun 1946

Geology And Ore Deposits Of The Dunmore Mine, Ouray County, Colorado, Caswell Silver

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Dunmore lode is located near Ouray, Colorado in the northwest part of the San Juan Mountains. In structure as well as mineral assemblage it shows a connection between the chimneys and veins of the region. The lode averages about 100 feet wide for 1,200 feet along the Dunmore claim. The fissure zone is over two miles long and displacement along it has offset a folded pre-Cambrian complex 4,500 feet prior to the deposition of 2,400 feet of volcanic tuff. Fissures in the pre-Cambrian rocks controlled in part the intrusion of dikes and the formation of veins. Late Tertiary faulting …

The Effect Of Sodium And Potassium Ions On The Time Of Set Of Silicic Acid Gels, Orin Chester Hansen Jun 1946

The Effect Of Sodium And Potassium Ions On The Time Of Set Of Silicic Acid Gels, Orin Chester Hansen

Honors Theses

This paper will deal with the relative effect of the potassium and sodium ions on the time of set. To determine this effect, gels were prepared using potassium silicate in place of the sodium silicate used in the previous experiments on the effects of electrolytes in this laboratory. The heat of activation for the setting of the potassium silicate gels was determined by the method used by Hurd and Letterton (7) in which the logarithm of the time of set was plotted against the reciprocal absolute temperature, the heat of activation being computed from the slope of the resulting line …

The Effect Of Polyvalent Electrolytes On The Viscosity Of Silicic Acid Gel Mixtures, David John Gimber Jun 1946

The Effect Of Polyvalent Electrolytes On The Viscosity Of Silicic Acid Gel Mixtures, David John Gimber

Honors Theses

Von Weimarn has shown that the degree of supersaturation at the time of formation, and the viscosity of the medium account, qualitatively at least, for the resulting character of the precipitate from a solution, whether it be crystalline of amorphous. When fairly concentrated solutions form precipitates they are usually colloidal in nature and may even be gelatinous, or a jelly may be formed. When a precipitate, thus formed, retains an appreciable quantity of the liquid in which it was dissolved in the form of a semi-rigid mass, it is termed a “gelatinous precipitate”, and if all the liquid is initially …

Degree Of Substitution In Ethylchlorosilanes, Charles Guare Jun 1946

Degree Of Substitution In Ethylchlorosilanes, Charles Guare

Honors Theses

When an organo-magnesium halide is reacted with an excess of trichlorosilane, a mixture of products results according to the equations. If phenyl magnesium bromide is used, a mixture of high boiling products results, the highest boiling point of which is approximately 250° at 14mm. pressure. If ethyl magnesium bromide is used, it may be shown that, making certain assumptions and under the conditions of the experiment, if ethyl magnesium bromide is added to the trichlorosilane, monosubstitution is promoted, whereas if the trichlorosilane is added to the ethyl magnesium bromide, polysubstitution is promoted.

Microradiography With Metal Powders, Wallace Kluck Jun 1946

Microradiography With Metal Powders, Wallace Kluck

Bachelors’ Theses

Microradiography is a comparatively recent development in the X-ray field. The term applies to the analysis of a thin specimen by photographing it with X-rays and subsequently enlarging the photograph to bring out minute structural elements. A microradiograph has several advantages over a photomicrograph. First of all it goes beyond the surface and reveals the internal structure of the specimen, a more important advantage at least as concerns this paper is the ability of the microradiograph to enable one to accurately determine the chemical elements making up the specimen.

A Preliminary Investigation Of The Hydrometallurgy Of Philipsburg Manganese, W. L. Goodman May 1946

A Preliminary Investigation Of The Hydrometallurgy Of Philipsburg Manganese, W. L. Goodman

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the past the steel industry of the United States has depended almost wholly on imports for its supplies of manganese. Although it is well known that there are enormous deposits of low grade manganese ore in the United States the production of substantial amounts of ferro-grade mater­ial from domestic sources presents a field for con­structive and practical research.
