Soviet mining science Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    It has been established experimentally that when quartz, feldspar, mica, and other minerals are crushed in steel (iron) mills, considerable amounts of hydrogen are evolved from the pulp; this hydrogen can only originate from decomposition of water by very fine iron particles.

  2. 2.

    This phenomenon is undergoing detailed study to establish its role in ore flotation.
