LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Department of Mines, Mining and Geology Atlanta,· April 3, 1947 To His Excellency, M. E. Thompson, Governor Commissioner Ex-Officio, State Division of Conservation Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith Georgia Geological Survey Bul­ letin No. 53, "Talc Deposits of Murray County, Georgia," by Dr. A. S. Furcron, Assistant State Geologist, Kefton H. Teague, and Dr. James L. Calver, Associate Geologists of the Tennessee Valley Authority. This -.:eport has been prepared and published in cooperation with the Tennes­ see Valley Authority. This bulletin is a detailed report upon a long established mineral industry. It presents a complete review of structural, stratigraphic and petrologic problems of the districts which are involved in the economics of the talc. Detailed mine maps have been correlated with surface and subsurface structure. The results of this work indicate that our talc de­ posits are the most extensive in the Southeastern states. The report offers numerous suggestions on improvement of mining methods which would lead to increased production; also it shows that many prospects of the district may be developed into mines. A geologic map is submitted which shows distribution of Fort Mountain gneiss which contains the talc deposits. It is believed that this map will prove quite helpful to those who may prospect for new deposits in the future. It is desired, too, to point out the value of cooperation such as the Tennessee Valley Authority has contributed in this instance. Undoubtedly it would not have been practicable for this department of the State Government to have undertaken this project alone. The cooperation of the Regional Products Research Division, Commerce Department, Tennessee Valley Authority, has provided the technical personnel con­ sidered necessary to supplement our own staff in condu~ting a special field project and the publication of this report, thus enabling us to pre­ sent a publication which, in itself, is in this instance an accomplishment which would not ordinarily have been considered a part of our regular routine. Very respectfully yours, GARLAND PEYTON Director. v CONTENTS ABSTRACT --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 FIELD WORK AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS-------------------- 2

Camp Comer has two air-conditioned shower and restroom facilities for camp-wide use. Patrol sites are pre-established in each campsite. Most campsites have some Adarondaks that sleep four and tents on platforms that sleep two. Some sites may be occupied by more than one troop. Troops are encouraged to construct gateways to their campsites. The Hawk Campsite is a HANDICAPPED ONLY site, if you do not have a scout or leader that is handicapped that site will not be available. There are four troop / campsites; each campsite has a latrine, picnic table and fire ring. Water may be obtained at spigots near the pavilion. Garbage is disposed of at the Tannehill trash dumpster. Each unit is responsible for providing its trash bags and taking garbage to the trash dumpster. The campsites have a number and a name. Make reservations at a Greater Alabama Council Service Center; be sure to specify the campsite or sites desired.

Toplan Sakarya University, Metalurgy and Materials Engineering, 54187 Sakarya, Turkey The powder mixtures of Talc-Kaolinite-Alumina-Basalt-Quartz were mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill for 1 hour. The structural alterations and thermal behaviour of the powder mixture were examined by X-ray diraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal analysis (TG-DTA).

  • Talc Processing
    11.26 Talc Processing 11.26.1 Process Description1-9 . Talc, which is a soft, hydrous magnesium silicate (3Mg0 4Si02 H20), is used in a wide range of industries including the manufacture of ceramics, paints, paper, and asphalt roofing. The end-uses for talc are determined by variables such as chemical and mineralogical composition, particle size and shape, specific gravity, hardness, and color. There is no Source Classification Code (SCC) for the source category. Over 95 percent of the talc ore produced in the United States comes from open-pit mines. Mining operations usually consist of conventional drilling and blasting methods. Figure 11.26-1 is a process flow diagram for a typical domestic talc plant. Talc ore generally is hauled to the plant by truck from a nearby mine. The ore is crushed, typically in a jaw crusher, and screened. The coarse (oversize) material then is returned to the crusher. Rotary dryers may be used to dry the material. Secondary grinding is achieved with pebble mills or roller mills, producing a product that is 44 to 149 micrometers ( m) (325 to 100 mesh) in size. Some roller mills are designed to use heated air to dry the material as it is being ground. Hammer mills or steam- or compressed air- powered jet mills may be used to produce additional final products. Air classifiers (separators), generally in closed circuit with the mills, separate the material into coarse, coarse-plus-fine, and fine fractions. The coarse and coarse-plus-fine fractions then are stored as products. The fines may be concentrated using a shaking table (tabling process) to separate product containing small quantities of nickel, iron, cobalt, or other minerals and then may undergo a one-step flotation process.
