An Investigation into the Recovery of Indium from Fume Residue

Several months were required to produce a single gram of indium. Consequently, the industrial history of the metal is extremely short. In view of the unique properties that indium has demonstrated in this short period, it is probable that indium is still in its early stage of development. However, the commer­cial applications of the metal are well established and indium is now produced on a commercial scale. It is obtainable as the metal or in solution for electroplat­ing.

An Investigation Into the Adaption of the Induction Furnace for Determining the Equilibrim Diagram of the System Cu2S-FeS

This investigation was started in an effort to find an accurate and efficient method of determining the freezing points of ferrous and cuprous sulphides, mixtures of the two substances, and from this to establish the liquidus line of the equilibrium dia­gram.

An Investigation into the Precipitation of Copper from Mine Water, using Sulfur Dioxide to Reduce the Ferric Ion Content

The experiments which were preformed showed that sulfur dioxide would reduce the ferric ion content of the mine waters to a very low figure. The reduction in the ferric ion content would improve the efficiency of the precipitation process, and also increase the recovery of copper.
