Magnesium - Tellurium by Powder Methods

Today considerable work is being done in the compressed metal powder field which is gradually ob­taining prominence as a valuable branch of metallurgy. The mass of data, however, has led to many different ideas on the results of sintering.

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 Characteristics of the Electrolyte in the Series System of Electrolytic Copper Refining

Almost everyone is familiar with the tremendous importance of copper in our everyday life. One of the pro­perties of copper which determines its great usefulness to mankind is its electrical conductivity. This property alone has more to do with the prominence of copper among useful metals then does any other.

The Casting of Anodes for the Series System of Electrolytic Copper Refining

The electrolytic refining process, while usually considered an auxiliary process used in conjunction with pyrometallurgical extraction, deserves a special niche in the complex metallurgy of copper. The development of electrolytic copper refining, for example, is largely responsible for the prominence of the electrical industry. Conversely, it could be stated that the electrical industry played an important part in the development of the copper industry.
