A Semiquantitative Spectrographic Method for the Analysis of Minerals, Rocks, and Ores ([Part] 2)

Description: Abstract: The scope of the semiquantitative spectrographic method for the analysis of minerals, rocks, and ores previously described as determining 55 elements, has now been increased to 68 elements which can be estimated in one exposure of a l0-mg sample. Fluorine, the 69th element, requires a separate exposure for some materials. The method has been used to complete about 185,000 determinations in the past two years. Listed in this report are 336 chemical check analyses that indicate approxim… more

Summary of the Research Work of the Trace Elements Section Geochemistry and Petrology Branch for the Period July 1 - September 30, 1951

Description: Report summarizing the research done by the Geochemistry and Petrology branch of the Trace Elements Section during the period from July 1 - September 30, 1951. Research includes mineralogic and petrologic investigations of radioactive rocks, minerals, and ores, as well as investigations of chemical, spectrographic, and radiometric methods of analysis to be applied to radioactive materials such as uranium, thorium, and their compounds.

Wagon-Drill Sampling by U.S. Geological Survey

Description: Abstract: For a number of years the Geological Survey has employed core drilling as a means of obtaining samples of underground formations for use in exploring and evaluating mineral deposits. During 1951, however, experiment with less expensive methods showed that, for analytical purposes, wagon-drill cuttings could be used as effectively as cores, provided a practical method were devised for recovering them in suitable form. The recent development of such a method has made it possible, in pla… more
