  • Limestone Resources of Western Washington
    State of Washington DANIEL J. EVANS, Governor Department of Conservation H. MA URI CE AHLQUIST, Director DIVISION OF MINES AND GEOLOGY MARSHALL T. HUNTTING, Supervisor Bulletin No. 52 LIMESTONE RESOURCES OF WESTERN WASHINGTON By WILBERT R. DANNER With a section on the UME MOUNTAIN DEPOSIT By GERALD W. THORSEN STATII PRINTING PLANT, OLYMPI A, WASH, 1966 For sale by Department of Conservation, Olympia, Washington. Price, $4,50 FOREWORD Since the early days of Washington's statehood, limestone has been recognized as one of the important mineral resources _of the State. The second annual report of the Washington Geological Survey, published in 1903, gave details on the State's limestone deposits, and in later years five other reports published by the Survey and its successor agencies hove given additional information on this resource. Still other reports by Federal and private agencies hove been published in response to demands for data on limestone here. Although some of the earlier reports included analyses to show the purity of the rocks, very few of the samples for analysis were taken systemati­ cally in a way that would fairly represent the deposits sampled. Prior to 1900 limestone was produced for use as building stone here, and another important use was for the production of burned Ii me . Portland cement plants soon became leading consumers of Ii mestone, and they con­ tinue as such to the present time . Limestone is used in large quantities in the pulp industry in the Northwest, and in 1966 there was one commercial lime-burning plant in the State. Recognizing the potential for industrial development in Washington based on more intensive use of our mineral resources, and recognizing the need to up-dote the State's knowledge of raw material resources in order to channel those resources into the State's growing economy, the Industrial Row Materials Advisory Committee of the Deportment of Commerce and Economic Development in 1958 recommended that a comprehensive survey be made of the limestone resources of Washington.

  • A Fundamental Study of the Alkaline Sulfide Leaching of Gold
    The European Journal of Mineral Processing and Environmental Protection Vol.3, No.3, 1303-0868, 2003, pp. 336-343 A fundamental study of the alkaline sulfide leaching of gold M.I. Jeffrey1* and C.G Anderson2 1 Department of Chemical Engineering, Monash University, Vic., 3800, Australia 2 The Center for Advanced Mineral and Metallurgical Processing, Montana Tech of the University of Montana, Butte, Montana, 59701, USA Received 19 September 2002; accepted 23 September 2003 ABSTRACT Due to the increasing concerns over the emission of sulfur dioxide from roasting and smelting, there has been an increased interest in pressure oxidation as a means of treating gold bearing ores and concentrates. One of the problems with the partial oxidation of the sulfide host matrix to form elemental sulfur is that sulfur containing streams are difficult to treat using cyanidation. In the present paper, the alkaline sulfide system was studied as an alternative to cyanide for recovering gold from elemental sulfur. It was found that the dominant lixiviant for gold in this system is sulfide, and polysulfide was ascertained to be the oxidant. The leaching reaction was determined to be chemically controlled, thus highly dependent on temperature. Other variables investigated include the effect of pH, gold purity, and the ratio of sulfide to polysulfides. It was found that each of these variables had a large impact on the system. © 2003 SDU. All rights reserved. Keywords: Hydrometallurgy; Leaching; Gold 1. INTRODUCTION Many gold ores are problematic as they contain metal sulfides, such as pyrite, arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. These ores are often refractory, as the gold is encapsulated within the sulfide matrix.

  • Chemical Studies of the Lime-Sulfur Lead Arsenate Spray Mixture
    Research Bulletin No. 12 June, 1913 Chemical Studies of the Lime-Sulfur Lead Arsenate Spray Mixture BY W. E. RUTH AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION IOWA STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND THE MECHANIC ARTS CHEMICAL SECTION A MES, IOWA SUMMARY l\lixing lead arsenate with lime sulfur results Ill: 1. A decrease of sulfur in solution. 2. A decrease of calcium in solution. 3. Increase of thiosulfate in solution. 4. Increase of thiosulfate in the residue. 5. Increase of sulfite in solution. 6. Formation of lead sulfide. 7. Formation of a compound containing arsenic and sulfur but insolnable in the lime-sulfur solution,­ probably lead thioarsenate. CHEMICAL STUDIES OF THE LIME­ SULFUR--LEAD ARSENATE SPRAY MIXTURE BY W. E. RUTH INTRODUCTORY. The use of lime-sulfur as an orchard spray originated with 1\1. F. Duseyl of Fresno, California. It had been previously used as a sheep dip for killing ticks, but Mr. Dusey tried it successfully as a means of combating San Jose scale. Some years later San Jose scale was discovered in different fruit districts in the middle Atlantic states and after a time the lime-sulfur treatment came to be recognized there, as well as in California, as the best means for combating that insect. At that time bordeaux mixture was regarded as the most efficient spray for control of fungus a;seases in orchard8 rf deciduous fruits, and to control leaf ea1 in~ iments also. it was the common practice to combine with bordeaux mixture some arsenical poison. It was early recognized that lime-sulfur pos­ sessed some fungicidal properties although it had not yet made a place for itself as a standard fungicide.

Néanmoins, l’étude s’est plus focalisée sur les contaminants métalliques provenant de résidus miniers chargés en cuivre et en nickel. Le sol contaminé est classé selon les cinq fractions suivantes : f1 > 4 mm ; f2 1-2 mm ; f3 0,250-1 mm et f4 <0,250 mm et a subi une caractérisation par dissolution acide puis ICP-AES, diffraction des rayons X (DRX) et microscope électronique à balayage (MEB). D’après les analyses, les teneurs respectives sont de l’ordre de 2102 mg Cu/kg et 1146 mg Ni/kg pour f4, ce qui dépasse le critère C du Ministère du Développement Durable de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les Changements Climatiques (MDDELCC).
