The ideas leading to the formulation and utilization of a flotation model are developed. The main theoretical and experimental work that has been carried out by the National Institute for Metallurgy Research Group at the University of Natal is presented. The two experimental flotation plants available to this Group are described.

According to the analysis of 126 mine gushing records and the relevant water supply and hydrogeologic condition, the gush can be classified into eight types;cave type,collapse -column. type, subterranean stream type, fault zone type, contact zone type, upper plate type, bottom heaving type and surface water invasion type. The formulae for counting the peak discharge of gushing point are further put forward in this paper.

Excavating and lining twin interstate highway tunnels each 11.3 m (37 ft) high by 14.6 m (48 ft) wide by 183 m (600 ft) long. A discussion of the geology of the site and problems occurring at the portals and the solutions to the problems. The methods used in placing the concrete lining are also discussed.

COPPER sometimes is added to steel and cast iron as an alloying element to improve or impart specific properties. However, in some steels it exerts an impurity effect in impairing response to fabrication by hot working and deep drawing. The resid-

Although China is believed to contain an enormous coal-area, but few memoranda have been published as to the character of its coals. Our belief as to the extent of its coal-fields rests mainly on the statements of travellers of all classes, religious, scientific, etc.,

Kaolin, normally an inert filler when compounded with polymers, is converted into a strongly reinforcing pigment by prereaction with certain functional silanes. Modification of kaolin with amino and mercaptosilanes allows it to form crosslinks and confers significant improvements in modulus, abrasion resistance, compression set and other physical properties of a broad range of polymers.

A new system for acquiring blast vibration data and a method for presenting that data in such a way that there can be an extraordinarily enhanced insight into the understanding of vibrations produced by blasting is described in this paper.

BECAUSE of the great importance of the ternary system Fe-C-Si in ferrous metallurgy a considerable amount of attention has been devoted to the phase relations, particularly those occurring in the solid state.' The information on graphite solubility

The Blasting In the summer of 1999, a Southern California drilling and blasting company conducted blasting as part of the grading operations at the Highlands Ranch development in San Diego, California. Highlands Ranch was a new single family residential project located near older residential properties in the area. Blasting was necessary to remove indigenous meta-volcanic rock associated with the local geology.

Quadrex-L is a two component liquid explosive which was developed by J. S. Brower & Associates, Inc. to facilitate handling and shipping, and use in unique applications, while emphasizing safety. It may be advantageously used for all explosive applications. Quadrex-L can be introduced into a preinstalled container configuration and may be easily drained or flushed from these containers when necessary to do so. This characteristic can be effectively utilized to reduce the hazard period during assembly or disassembly operations.

The presence of a mobile home park with drinking water wells created a unique geoenvironmental deterrent to the developer’s plans for effective rock blasting, excavation, and development of water management areas (lakes) in connection with the construction of Crown Colony Resort, a residential cum golf course community in southwest Fort Myers, Lee County, Florida, USA.

Application of continuous filtration to precipitate dewatering requires not only careful equipment selection, choice of appropriate media, but also close control of precipitation technique itself.

Blasting is a very cost effective method of rock fragmentation but its uncontrolled application often results in excessive damage to the perimeter of an excavation. Several perimeter control techniques are available but tracer blasting is commonly used in Canadian underground mines for overbreak control. This involves tracing a column of Ammonium Nitrate-Fuel Oil (ANFO) with a detonating cord. In order to investigate the techno-economic effectiveness of tracer blasting in perimeter control, a field experimentation was conducted which involved blasting in sublevel caving and sublevel sloping operations, experimental drifting, benching and pipe tests.

IN several alloys of iron, copper, and lithium as well as in some pure metals, martensite formed on cooling reverts to the parent phase upon heating to a temperature below the equilibrium temperature at which the parent phase becomes stable.' These martensitic transformations, therefore, are thermally reversible, although appreciable hysteresis may be involved. The martensitic reaction has long been
