Determination of selected anions in water by ion chromatography
Marvin J. Fishman, Grace Pyen
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-101
Ion chromatography is a rapid, sensitive, precise, and accurate method for the determination of major anions in rain water and surface waters. Simultaneous analyses of a single sample for bromide, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate, and sulfate require approximately 20 minutes to obtain a chromatogram.Minimum detection limits range from 0.01...
A synoptic approach for analyzing erosion as a guide to land-use planning
William M. Brown III, Walter G. Hines, David A. Rickert, Gary L. Beach
1979, Circular 715-L
A synoptic approach has been devised to delineate the relationships that exist' between physiographic factors, land-use activities, and resultant erosional problems. The approach involves the development of an erosional-depositional province map and a numerical impact matrix for rating the potential for erosional problems. The province map is prepared by collating...
Water resources of the Marquette Iron Range area, Marquette County, Michigan
N.G. Grannemann
1979, Open-File Report 79-1339
Dependable water supplies are vital to the mining industry in the Marquette Iron Range in Michigan. Development of processes that concentrate and pelletize low-grade iron ore has permitted mining to expand during the past two decades. Water demand has increased both for iron ore concentration processes and for the area...

The importance of dissolved free oxygen during formation of sandstone-type uranium deposits
Harry Clifford Granger, C. G. Warren
1979, Open-File Report 79-1603
One factor which distinguishes t, he genesis of roll-type uranium deposits from the Uravan Mineral Belt and other sandstone-type uranium deposits may be the presence and concentration of dissolved free oxygen in the ore-forming. solutions. Although dissolved oxygen is a necessary prerequisite for the formation of roll-type deposits, it is...
