Southern Rhodesia

Lisle (148) investigated the inositol and nicotinic acid content of orange juice samples from Israel, South Africa, British Honduras and Southern Rhodesia. From the analytical results the equation...

Similarly, resolutions 216 (1965) and 217 (1965) of the Council on Southern Rhodesia were not adopted under Chapter VII of the Charter. However such an invocation might not be necessarily expected. Even in the post-Cold War environment, where Chapter VII action became easier to secure, the Council has made determinations of this kind with the evident intention of creating a binding effect, but without express reference to Chapter VII. ... 

In 1965, the Council condemned the usurpation of power , by Southern Rhodesia, regarding its declaration of independence as legally invalid. Moreover, the Council called upon all states not... 

The United States Brush Beryllium Corporation operate the Kaufmann and Kjellgren process for the sulphuric acid breakdown of beryl. Beryl is the principal beryllium mineral and consists of a beryllium aluminium silicate, 3Be0.Al20s.6SiO2. It is mined in Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, India and parts of the U.S.A. When pure it has a beryllium oxide content of about 14 per cent. The commercial mineral is usually fairly pure, with 10 to 12 per cent BeO, equivalent to about 4 per cent beryllium.

In 1960 the industry s over-capacity only allowed operation at about 20% of capacity, and Maywood ceased the production of lithium compounds. LCA closed their Minneapolis plant in 1959 (and canceled their long-term ore contract with Quebec Lithium), while American Potash Chemical Co. closed their Texas plant in 1963. American Potash s Searles Lake lithium operation had started in 1951 and closed in 1978. Quebec Lithium in turn started producing lithium chemicals, but closed their plant in 1965. The production of ore from South Dakota stopped in 1969, and sanctions against Southern Rhodesia (still one of the world s major suppliers) curtailed their ore imports from 1965-1980. Foote s Clayton Valley brine operation commenced in 1966, and LCA started mining spodumene in North Carolina in 1968. Foote s Salar de Atacama operation started in 1984, while SQM s started at the Salar de Atacama, and FMC s (formerly LCA) at the Salar de Hombre Muerto in 1997. Both of the North Carolina mines closed after their brine operations had been well established, and FMC essentially closed their Hombre Muerto plant in 1998 because of SQM s greatly reduced lithium carbonate pricing.
