The Effect of Ashing Temperatures on the Volatility of Germanium in Lignite Samples (open access)

The Effect of Ashing Temperatures on the Volatility of Germanium in Lignite Samples

Abstract: A study has been conducted to provide data on the loss of germanium from ashed lignite samples. The lignite samples, of known germanium content, were ashed at various temperatures as high as 1000 °C with varying rates of heating and varying amounts of surface area of the lignites. The results indicate that no germanium was volatilized during the various ignitions.

Uranium-Bearing Nickel-Cobalt-Native Silver Deposits, Black Hawk District, Grant County, New Mexico (open access)

Uranium-Bearing Nickel-Cobalt-Native Silver Deposits, Black Hawk District, Grant County, New Mexico

From introduction: Mining began in the Black Hawk (Bullard Peak) district in 1881 when high-grade silver ore was found at the Alhambra mine. Most of the silver produced was native silver, associated with nickel and cobalt arsenides and sulfides. In 1920 pitchblende was recognized on the dumps of some of the old mines, and since 1949 the district has been of interest as a possible source of ores that contain uranium, nickel, and cobalt.
