Abstract

"The problem under consideration is the design of a hundred-ton mill for treating silver ores by cyanidation ... The Sulphur is partly combined as Sulphide and partly as the Iron Sulphates, FeSO₄ and Fe₂(SO₄)₃. To determine the best method of procedure, preliminary tests were run on lots of 100 pounds each, this being crushed in a sampling grinder and classified into sand a slime" – Introduction, page 1.
