The flame photometric determination of calcium in phosphate, carbonate, and silicate rocks
Henry Kramer
1957, Analytica Chimica Acta (17) 521-525
A flame photometric method of determining calcium in phosphate, carbonate, and silicate locks has been developed Aluminum and phosphate interference was overcome by the addition of a large excess of magnesium. The method is rapid and suitable for routine analysis Results obtained are within ± 2% of the calcium oxide...
X-ray spectrographic determination of cesium and rubidium
J. M. Axelrod, I. Adler
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1280-1281
An x-ray spectrographic method for the determination of rubidium and cesium was developed, using the internal-standard method and a four-channel flat-crystal spectrograph. The sensitivity is within 0.1% for cesia and 0.02% for rubidia; the precision is within 10% of the amount present. Results agree well with those obtained by flame...
Quantitative radiochemical methods for determination of the sources of natural radioactivity
J. N. Rosholt
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1398-1408
Study of the state of equilibrium of any natural radioactive source requires determination of several key nuclides or groups of nuclides to find their contribution to the total amount of radioactivity. Alpha activity measured by scintillation counting is used for determination of protactinium-231, thorium-232, thorium-230, and radium-226. The chemical procedures...
Modified zirconium-Eriochrome Cyanine R determination of fluoride
L. L. Thatcher
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1709-1712
The Eriochrome Cyanine R method for determining fluoride in natural water has been modified to provide a single, stable reagent solution, eliminate interference from oxidizing agents, extend the concentration range to 3 p.p.m., and extend the phosphate tolerance. Temperature effect was minimized; sulfate error was eliminated by precipitation. The procedure...
Comparison of the isotopic abundance of U235 and U238 and the radium activity ratios in Colorado Plateau uranium ores
F. E. Senftle, L. Stieff, F. Cuttitta, P.K. Kuroda
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (11) 189-193
The isotopic abundances of uranium and the radium activity ratios of eleven samples of uranium ore from the Colorado Plateau have been measured. No significant variation in the isotopic abundance of the uranium was noted; with'in the experimental error, the average U235/U238 ratio is 137.7. There is a significant variation in...
Semi-quantitative spectrographic analysis and rank correlation in geochemistry
F.J. Flanagan
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (12) 315-322
The rank correlation coefficient, rs, which involves less computation than the product-moment correlation coefficient, r, can be used to indicate the degree of relationship between two elements. The method is applicable in situations where the assumptions underlying normal distribution correlation theory may not be satisfied. Semi-quantitative spectrographic analyses which are reported as...

Selective precipitation of thorium iodate from a tartaric acid-hydrogen peroxide medium application to rapid spectrophotometric determination of thorium in Silicate Rocks and in Ores
F. S. Grimaldi
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 848-851
This paper presents a selective iodate separation of thorium from nitric acid medium containing d-tartaric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is prevented by the use of 8quinolinol. A few micrograms of thorium are separated sufficiently clean from 30 mg. of such oxides as cerium, zirconium,...
Systematic variation of rare-earth elements in cerium-earth minerals
K. J. Murata, H. J. Rose Jr., M. K. Carron, J.J. Glass
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (11) 141-161
In a continuation of a study reported previously, rare-earth elements and thorium have been determined in monazite, allanite, cerite, bastnaesite, and a number of miscellaneous cerium-earth minerals. A quantity called sigma (∑), which is the sum of the atomic percentages of La, Ce, and Pr, is proposed as an index...
Minor elements in Keweenawan lavas, Michigan
H. R. Cornwall, H. J. Rose Jr.
1957, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (12) 209-224
The distribution of minor elements in three basaltic flows of the Keweenawan series, of Michigan, is related to differentiation in the flows. Thus, nickel is most abundant in the early differentiates; nickel, chromium, and barium are generally deficient in the pegmatites, which formed late; whereas copper, vanadium, yttrium, and other...
Modified determination of radium in water
F. B. Barker, L. L. Thatcher
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1573-1575
The proposed method embodies a barium sulfate carrier precipitation, filtration through molecular filter membranes, and collection of activity after prescribed aging period. The method is sufficiently accurate and precise to indicate the potability of water and for use in general studies of radium in chemical hydrology. Amounts of radium as...
History of Red Lakes fishery, 1917-38, with observations on population status
John Van Oosten, Hilary J. Deason
1957, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 229
A historical account traces the development of the commercial fisheries of the Red Lakes, Minnesota, from its inception in 1917 as a war measure through 1938. The trends of production and catch per unit of effort were followed for the principal species with notes on statistics of the minor...

The control of the upstream movement of fish with pulsated direct current
Alberton L. McLain
1957, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (86) 269-284
Alternating-current electromechanical devices installed in the mouths of streams have proved effective in stopping the spawning migrations of the parasitic sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) which has seriously damaged Great Lakes fisheries. In a few streams, excessive mortality has occurred to other fish at the alternating-current barriers. A direct-current unit was...

A fluorimetric study of the thorium-morin system
R.G. Milkey, M. H. Fletcher
1957, Journal of the American Chemical Society (79) 5425-5435
Thorium reacts with morin to yield a yellow complex that fluoresces when irradiated with ultraviolet light. The effect on the fluorescence of such variables as concentration of acid, alcohol, thorium, morin, and complex; time, temperature and wave length of exciting light are studied to determine experimental conditions yielding maximum fluorescence....
Determination of uranium in natural waters
L. L. Thatcher, F. B. Barker
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1575-1578
The fluorophotometric determination of uranium was studied to develop a procedure applicable to the routine analysis of waters. Three grams of the high carbonate flux are used in a dilution procedure with spiking. Because of the comparatively high reflectivity of this large disk and the low uranium concentration, a correction...
Volumetric determination of uranium: Titanous sulfate as reductant before oxidimetric titration
J.S. Wahlberg, D. L. Skinner, L. F. Rader Jr.
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 954-957
Need for a more rapid volumetric method for the routine determination of uranium in uranium-rich materials has led to the development of a method that uses titanous sulfate as a reductant before oxidimetric titration. Separation of the hydrogen sulfide group is not necessary. Interfering elements precipitated by cupferron are removed...
