Construction and Operation of a Laboaratory Size Thum Cell

Electrolytic silver refining was not perfected until the end of the nineteenth century. During the process of development, two systems of silver refining have come into prominence: the Moebius and the Thum types.

The Electrolytic Recovery of Copper and Zinc from Scrap Brass with Special Reference to Lead-Bearing Brass.

Several methods have been investigated, with some success, for treating scrap brass to recover copper and zinc, either as pure metals or as salts of the metals. One of the more promising of these methods is electrolysis in sulfate solution for the recovery of pure copper and zinc.

Aluminum - Bronze Compacts and their Possible Use as a Bearing Material

In the modern aspect of powder metallurgy, the first use of a sintering process was in making filaments for incandescent electric lamps.In the short while from the day of Edison to the pres­ent, the science of working with metal powders has advanced by leaps and bounds.

Age Hardening of Copper Antimony Alloys

A large number of alloys of varying percentages of copper and antimony were prepared. These alloys were treated in various ways which might be expected to produce age hardening. The effect of cold working was studied in the range where the alloys were malleable.

The Anodic Polishing of Copper in Solutions of Orthophosphoric Acid

The electrolytic cleaning of metals by anodic methods has been known for many years. It was recognized long ago that when the temperature and concentration of the electro­lyte were properly regulated, bright clean surfaces were obtained.
