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.

The Incompatibility of Certain Alcohol and Soap Frothers

The purpose of this thesis is to elucidate this phenomena of frother incompatibility, and to offer an explanation based upon several divergent lines of investigation. The research was limited to four common frothing agents, namely, pine oil, n-amyl alcohol, sodium oleate, and sodium lauryl sulphate (Dreft).
