Mineral Determination Tables
This contains a series of tables, more or less complete, of minerals arranged according to chemical composition or to certain prominent crystallographic or physical characters. These, it is believed, will be of service not only to the student, but also to the skilled mineralogist. The type used in the printing of the mineral names indicates […]
Nitrates
Native Elements
The native elements are divided into the two distinct sections of the Metals and the Non-metals, and these are connected by the transition class of the Semi-metals. The distinction between them as regards physical characters and chemical relations has already been given. The only non-metals present among minerals are carbon, sulphur, and selenium; the last, […]
Silicates
The Silicates are in part strictly anhydrous, in part hydrous, as the zeolites and the amorphous clays, etc. Furthermore, a large number of the silicates yield more or less water upon ignition, and in many cases it is known that they are, therefore, to be regarded as basic (or acid) silicates. The line, however, between […]

Carbonates
Borates
The aluminates, ferrates, etc., allied chemically to the borates, have been already introduced among the oxides. They include the species of the Spinel Group.
Bulk Material Handling – Conveying & Silos
After beneficiation we now need to focus on the storage handling, and transport of the mined product which can be ore or coal to get it to the customer. As the products of mining are mostly grain able materials that are handled by disciplined known as bulk materials handling, which is the specialty of the […]
Sluicing for Gold – Set up & Operation
And my pan now, what I’m going to do is, I’m going you down to that stinking river I was telling you about, it’s got a little bit of gold in there, don’t ask me where it’s at, because I’m not going to tell you. I’m going to show you the proper way to set […]
