熱天秤을 利用하여 窒素氣流中에서 $200^{\circ}C$以下의 여러 溫度에 걸쳐 國産無煙炭內의 化合水分에 對하여 考察하였다. 無煙炭內의 化合水分 含量은 $150^{\circ}C$에서 0.3~0.5%, $175^{\circ}C$에서 0.1~0.2%, $200^{\circ}C$에서 0.06~0.1% 였다. 한편 成型孔炭의 燃燒速度는 無煙炭의 個個의 特性에 따라 다르며 孔炭內에 適量의 水分이 存在할 때는 乾燥된 狀態時보다 燃燒速度가 促進되었다. 또한 乾燥孔炭中의 酸素擴散速度는 含水時보다 크지만 擴散速度는 燃燒速度에 直接的인 關係가 없었다.

A method of determination of gold in ores has been established: Disolved ore solution is evaporated to dryness, redissolved with 0.1N HCl then chloroaurate formed is adsorbed on anion exchange resin, Dowex $1\;{\cdot}\;{\times}4$. The resin is ignited and the residue is dissolved with HCl-$HNO_3$. After evaporation of the acid, and then dilution with water, sodium azide is added. The gold is extracted with amyl alcohol from the solution buffered to pH 6. The gold is determined by measuring absorbancy of the alcohol layer spectrophotometricaly at $385m{\mu}$. Various factors, HCl concentration, amount of the resin rate, if adsorption, foreign ions, effecting to the method, have been examined. This method seems to be satisfactory for the determination of gold presented dawn to 1g per metric ton in ore.

?織物上의 Chlorantine Fast Red 5B(C.I. Direct Red 81)의 照光으로 因한 褪色을 檢討하여 同染料의 CF曲線의 기울기는 異例的으로 負의 기울기를 나타내는 反面 CFG 曲線의 기울기는 正의 기울기를 나타낸다는 것을 밝혀내고, 同染料의 CF曲線의 기울기가 負로 나타남에도 不拘하고 CFG曲線의 기울기는 正으로 나타나게 되는 理由를, Weber-Fechner의 法則이 染色物의 視覺에 依한 褪色判定에 作用하는 때문인 것으로 보고, 視覺判定에 依할 때의 染料의 褪色量($F_v$)은 $F_v=[logC_0-log(C_0-C_0F_t/100)]{\times}100/(logC_0+b)$ 但 $F_t$; t時間 照光後의 染料의 褪色量, $C_0$; 染料의 初濃度, b; 定數으로 表示할 수 있다는 것을 明白히 하였다. 아울러 染料濃度 增加에 따르는 日光堅牢度 上昇의 原因으로서 染料의 集合效果外에, 染料濃度가 視覺判定에 依한 褪色判定結果에 미치는 影響도 考慮해야 할것임을 明白히 하였다.

For utilization of Bunker-C residual oil produced at KOCO., the auther tested the properties of vacuum fraction and blown asphalt, and as the result of it, (1) Vacuum fraction had so broad range of viscosity and high flash point that could be produced all kind of lublicating oil, but had to be dewaxed for high pour point, (2) Urea dewaxing was suitable to lighter fraction but not to heavier fraction, so, for heavier fraction, solvent dewaxing was needed. (3) Blown asphalt produced from vacuum residue had uniform relation between softening point and penetration in spite of broad change of blowing condition and adding of catalyst.

The direct acid leaching of domestic Marmatite concentrate at elevated temperatures and pressures was investigated. Almost 100 percent of zinc was extracted from the concentrate liberating free sulfur in 4 hours at $100^{\circ}C$ when the oxygen partial pressure was 5 atm. in sulfuric acid solution. By applying the Arrhenius equation to leach reaction in the range of $60^{circ}$ to $100^{\circ}C$ at the same oxygen partial pressure, 15.7 kcal per mole of activation energy was calculated. At the initial stage of leaching, the rate of reaction increased linearly by increasing temperature and pressure. The concentration of sulfuric acid gave minor effect to leaching velocity in the range of 5 to 20 percent. The particle size should be under 270 mesh for 100 percent extraction of zinc.

The influence of impurities contained in Marmatite ores on leaching of zinc was investigated. The zinc sulfide having the same crystal structure of natural Sphalerite was prepared by heating the zinc sulfide chemically precipitated, at $650^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen atmosphere. The activation energy of the sample was 25.8 kcal per mole in the leach test when oxygen partial pressure was 5 atm. and the value was exceedingly high compared to that obtained in Marmatite ores. Synthetic zinc sulfides added with small amount of each impurities were treated in same procedure. As a result, it was found that the leaching velocity was accelerated sharply when about 1 percent of $Cu^{++}$ was blended to the sample. Larger amount of iron has also same effect but the effect was minor compared to the copper. The other impurities indicated no appreciable catalytic action.

In order to explain the positive catalytic action of copper compound for the rate of leaching of zinc sulfide minerals, the electrode and redox potentials of both synthetic and natural sulfides were measured at various conditions of temperatures and pressures. The potentials of Chalcopyrite and copper sulfide were considerably higher than that of zinc sulfide, whereas lead sulfide and Galena had slightly lower potentials than that of zinc sulfide. At elevated temperatures and pressures, the same tendency was obtained. By means of comparing the calculated and measured values of potentials for sulfides, it was suggested that the electrode potentials in acid solution were generated by oxidation of sulfur ion. As a result, it was concluded that the catalytic action of copper compound in the leaching of synthetic zinc sulfide should be arised from the galvanic action between sulfides keeping intimate contact one another in which copper sulfide worked as cathodic and zinc sulfide as anodic part analogous to the metal corrosion under galvanic action.
