Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quantitative Analysis for Mining Engineers This small book on quantitative analysis consists entirely of a series of articles which appeared in the School of Mines Quarterly, Volume XXV. It was written primarily, to furnish the engineering students at Columbia University, particularly the mining engineers, with the directions required for their course in quantitative analysis. Also, as so many men now enter the mining course with advanced standing from other universities, colleges and schools, it seemed advisable to show in this way what we require from our mining students in quantitative work. No attempt is made to cover the entire field of inorganic analysis; but a few important analyses are given in considerable detail; the aim being to describe these analyses with enough explanation for the student to work understandingly and with an appreciation of the modern theories of chemistry. References will be found at the end of the chapters to books and articles giving additional information on the subjects treated; and the last chapter is devoted entirely to references on important analyses which are not given. in the text nor required in the course for mining engineers. In describing some well-known methods, it is not always possible to give to each chemist exactly the credit he deserves in its development, so acknowledgment is made here to all the standard books on the subject, and special references are made to the more recent journal articles. The methods as described in many cases embody the results of investigations, which have been carried out in the Havemeyer laboratories by the recent graduates in chemistry. Acknowledgment is made to this work and also to Dr. Morgan, Dr. Sherman and Dr. Jouet for helpful suggestions and corrections.
