A Text-book of Assaying by Cornelius Beringer audiobook.

Genre: science

A Text-book of Assaying is a practical guide to one of mining and metallurgy's most exacting arts: determining, by careful experiment, what valuable metals and compounds are truly present in an ore, alloy, or industrial material. Written as an instructional manual for students and working analysts, Cornelius Beringer leads the listener from foundational laboratory habits and essential apparatus into the core techniques of assay work, emphasizing accuracy, repeatability, and clear calculation. Along the way, the book explains how samples are prepared and weighed, how fluxes and reagents are selected, and how heat, time, and furnace conditions can change results. It then develops the classic methods used in the assay office, including fire-assay procedures and complementary wet-chemical operations, with close attention to the kinds of errors that can mislead even a careful operator. As the chapters move through common targets of analysis - especially precious and base metals - the central tension remains constant: how to turn messy, variable natural materials into trustworthy numbers that can guide payment, process decisions, and engineering judgment. Part craft manual, part disciplined laboratory philosophy, this textbook captures assay work as both a science and a responsibility.
