On the basis of investigations carried out, the author offered new technology, which allows utilising all titanium-contained waste with receiving of finished products: catalysts for utilisation of hydrogen sulfide gases, accompanying oil-extraction. This technology is presented in the paper. It is economically effective and ecologically clean.

In Table 47, tonnages shown before 1869 are estimated. After that time they are partly estimated from the total tonnage handled by the Allegheny Valley Railroad from four counties, of which this was one. Several reports to state authorities give a few figures, all probably very low, as is shown by the return in 1880 to the Secretary of Internal Affairs. [ ]

Large diameter boreholes have become increasingly popular in underground mining. Drilling equipment can drill full rings, including vertical upholes. Special techniques are required to load upholes of three inch to eight inch diameter. The current methods for loading AN/FO and bulk or packaged emulsions are described.

A good blast is dependent on a well engineered design. However, a good design's performance depends on the control of the drilling and loading of the blast holes. The key stone to good blasting is the drilling of straight holes of the correct orientation in the required positions.

This case history discusses a pre-split test conducted at BHP Mineralss Navajo Mine in Fruitland, New Mexico. The test was an extension of earlier pre-split testing conducted by Virgil Stachura of the U.S. Bureau of Mines in conjunction with Navajo Mine and WESCO Inc. which tested low-density product in 10.625 diameter holes.

Blasting complaints are as unpredictable as human nature. Being prepared to speak to the complainant, and having a good idea of what you should say, or what NOT to say, may affect the evolution, and eventual resolution of the complaint. The person taking that first phone call will probably not be responsible for resolving the complaint. However, the person in charge should respond to the complainant ASAP, the same day, if possible.

Direct reduction-are we moving in the right direction? by K. o. R. GEBHARD INTRODUCTION Numerous forecasts predict a rapid growth rate for direct-reduction processes. The figures quoted are so impressive that many a top manager must fear that he will fall behind in technical development if he does not base a substantial part of his future steelmaking for mass production on direct reduction.
