The control of dusts and fumes of submicron size is involved in many process industries. This paper presents in tabular form the quantitative data from a number of metallurgical operations and discusses allowable discharge in terms of effluent-weight ratio. Typical installations for recovery of stack effluents are cited.

HE high mobility of grain boundaries in zone-refined metals has been particularly demonstrated for lead above 150°C in grain growth studies1 and in the extensive work by Aust and Rutter.1 In these investigations, no elaborate precautions were taken to eliminate oxygen from the zone-refined lead; however the alteration of creep characteristics by oxygen concentrations of less than 5 x 10 -5 wt pet

ONE'S lifetime does not usually offer the opportunity to observe and be a part of the commercial development of an entirely new material. Petalite has been known for over a century, but at first it was presumed rare. However, it was found to be so abundant that it has become a new and extremely useful industrial tool.

The use of point load test data by the authors to estimate rock mass cohesion is a very ingenious approach. It must be emphasized that this estimate is indeed only an estimate since the point load strength index employed to predict the uniaxial compressive strength (and subsequently predict the cohesion) is likewise only an estimate.

FACED with processing an increasing volume of raw material through its existing plant, early in 1955 Calaveras Cement Co. of California considered incorporating liquid cyclones in its raw mill grinding circuits. One of many problems was the prospect of handling larger volumes of finished slurry through existing pipelines. Fixed capacities of the mechanical classifiers also placed limits on plant expansion.

We have devised a multivariate statistical model useful to interpret data from exploration geochemistry and also pertinent for the analysis of data from petrology, paleontology, and other geological fields. The model is applied to several simulated cases in order to compare anomaly recognition by inspection and by quadratic regression.

The Glenharold mine is a multiple seam dragline operation where many different stripping methods are employed. This paper describes the production operations of over-burden removal, coal loading, and haulage. Emphasis is placed on the methods used to uncover fie seam using draglines, scrapers, and a small shovel.

Most lead-zinc mines worldwide have moved to further mechanized techniques to boost productivity, improve safety, and lower costs. The mining session, chaired by S. C. Fall, NL. Industries, and C. J. Beattie, Callahan Mining Co., reviewed mining methods at five operations in the US, Australia, Peru, and Japan. Where massive sulfide-type and irregular ore bodies are encountered, resourceful operators have modified and varied the mining method with the localized ore zones. In all cases, mechanization of operations has registered gains in productivity.

A. K. Bhasin, (Development Engineer, Marcona Corp., San Francisco, Calif)-The author suggests the use of the term "consistency" for apparent viscosity and accordingly calls his viscometer a "consistometer." However, he goes on to refer to "consistency" as a combination of plastic viscosity, yield stress, and stability (p. 104, col. 2, line 6). Unfortunately, such conflicting terminology is encountered too often in rheological

One of the major problems confronting coal producers in this highly competitive era is whether or not the potential profit to be made from the products of coal flotation would warrant the capital investment required for the necessary equipment. The author supplies two theoretical cases to illustrate methods for computing such costs.

OBSERVATIONS were made over a period of seventeen months to ascertain the economic value of a four-cycle Miller engine direct-connected to a Watts compressor, to determine whether this type of engine could compete suc-cessfully against the old type of two-cycle engine in general use. The accompanying tables show the data obtained. The first, over a period of seventeen months, compares the operating cost per hour and cost per horsepower-hour with
