The Extraction of Manganese from Manganese Flue Dust.

It is estimated that 90 to 95% of the world’s consumption of manganese is used in the steel industry in the form of either ferromanganese or spiegeleisen. The remainder is used in the form of either salts or oxides, chloride, dioxide and monoxide.

Investigation of a Method for Extraction of Indium from Zinc Flue Dust.

In metallurgical practice today some of the relatively rare metal Indium is recovered as a by-product from the ores of other metals. Indium is a soft, silvery—white metal belonging to the third group of the periodic classification. It is situated just above tin in the electrochemical series.

The Extraction of Chromate Salts from Montana Chromite

In this thesis I have tried to determine the suit­able temperature, time and the amount of soda ash and lime needed for the calcining process. The leaching and purification tests were studied experimentally. The earlier process for making chromate from chromite was not the same as is used today. There­fore I have found it useful to put into this thesis the newest method for making chromate salts and their important uses.
