Hydraulic Characterization of Midnite Mine, Wellpinit, Washington: Summary of 1994 Field Season

Description: The Midnite Mine is an inactive uranium mine on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington State. Oxidation of sulfide-containing minerals, primarily pyrite, produces acidic water. Uranium and other radioactive constituents are chemically leached and dissolved in ground and surface waters. The U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) has worked closely with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Spokane Tribe of Indians to address data needs for remediation of the disturbed a… more

The Principles and Practice of Sampling Metallic Metallurgical Materials: with Special Reference to the Sampling of Copper Bullion

Description: From Introduction: "In this report considerable space has been devoted to general and theoretical principles on the ground that under modern conditions the best results in any field of activity can be attained only with the aid of an adequate knowledge of the best theories underlying the practice. The diffusion of such knowledge in the field of sampling metallic metallurgical materials appears to have been quite insufficient, and it is felt that when the principles involved are once thoroughly … more

Computer Simulation of Particulate Systems

Description: From Introduction: "The first objective of he present Bureau research was the development of a means to model random assemblies of circles and spheres that would accurately simulate actual particulate systems. The second objective of this research was to develop the computer simulations to the point where they could be used to predict real packaging or covering properties and to develop a body of data that could be used to improve and add to what is currently known about the statistical geometr… more

Engineering Factors in the Ventilation of Metal Mines

Description: From Introduction Purpose and Scope of Report: "In the belief that the quickest and cheapest method of obtaining effective ventilation of metal mines with regard to air conditions that promote efficiency, health, and safety is through more general application of the engineering factors involved rather than by trial and error and this method of attacking ventilation problems will be facilitated by a simple, concise statement of these factors and the methods of using them, an attempt is made in t… more

Mechanical Concentration of Gases

Description: From Introduction: "This bulletin deals with a new mechanical means of attacking the problem of separation. Although it is improbable that any one type of separation could hope to find universal application, the method described is to be regarded as an alternative to conventional means that has attractive possibilities in certain instances."

X-Ray Diffraction Data for Aromatic, Hydroaromatic, and Tetrahedral Structures of Carbon

Description: From Abstract: "A brief theoretical introduction of the Debye interference function is given, and an outline is made of the treatment of experimental data so that the experimental interference function can be obtained. This study is part of the investigations of the fundamental structure of coals and cokes by the Federal Bureau of Mines. X-ray diffraction is a very powerful tool in studying structure."

Coal Composition, Coal Plasticity, and Coke Strength

Description: From Abstract: "Results of linear correlations of two to four variables by the least-squares method are presented. The variables includes 63 parameters representing coal composition, coal plasticity, and coke strength. The composition parameters are based on chemical analyses; the plasticity parameters, on three plastometer and dilatometer tests and four miscellaneous tests; and cok-strength parameters, on three ASTM indices."
