Patent GB-1570913-A (GB)
Title: Reinforced panel structures and methods for producing them
IPC: E04C2/06
Filed: 1977-01-17
Abstract: Reinforced panel structures include a panel core formed from a cementitious composition that has controlled bleed characteristics. For example, the cementitious composition may comprise hydraulic cement, a dispersing agent, a gelling agent, and water. At least one woven, fabric reinforcing layer in the form of a sheet is laminated in the panel core closely adjacent at least one of its faces. The controlled bleed characteristic of the core composition insures that the reinforcing layer is bonded tightly thereto. The fabric from which the layer is made has a tensile strain that is compatible with the compression strain of the panel core to permit the panel to be cold formed. The cold formable reinforced panel is produced by providing at least one sheet of woven fabric; combining the components of the cementitious composition which may include hydraulic cement, a gelling and a dispersing agent, and water; encapsulating the fabric sheet with the cementitious composition so that the sheet is closely adjacent one face of the uncured composition; vibrating the composition to insure that the fabric is encapsulated therein; and curing the composition.

Title: Method for the production of an acetylene gas accumulator
IPC: C10L3/04
Filed: 1961-01-17
Abstract: An acetylene gas accumulator is prepared by mixing diatomaceous earth and lime in the presence of surplus water (at least 73.6% by weight of the mixture) to ensure high hygroscopicity of the resultant mono calcium hydrosilicate, adding to the mixture before it sets particles of metal to generate hydrogen, enclosing the unset and foaming mixture in a casing, heating it, and then opening the casing to dry the formed mass therein.  The pores of the mass are then filled with acetone or another solvent for acetylene gas. Preferably the initial mixture includes asbestos, and a dressing agent, e.g. ethyl cellulose, sulphite lye or sugar.  The preferred metal to be added is aluminium in coarse granulated form to retard its reaction so that the hydrogen is not produced too early while the setting mixture is very fluid.  Alternatively the action of the metal particles may be retarded by oxidizing them or coating them with grease or oil.

Title: A process for the separation of the constituents of gaseous mixtures
Inventor: ETHERINGTON LEWIS DODSON
IPC: B01D53/12
Filed: 1952-01-24
Abstract: In a process for separating a gaseous mixture containing less readily and more readily adsorbed components in which the gaseous mixture is contacted counter-currently with a solid adsorbent which passes thorugh adsorption, rectification, and desorption zones, heat is supplied to the rectification zone as well as to the adsorption zone. In the apparatus shown, adsorbent charcoal passes down a tower 1 either as a compact bed or in the fluidized state.  The feed gas introduced at 4 contains methane, C2, C3 and higher hydrocarbons, and nitrogen and hydrogen. Methane, nitrogen and hydrogen pass out of the top of the tower through pipe 18, C2 hydrocarbons are removed at 8, and C3 and higher hydrocarbons at 9.  In the desorption zone, the charcoal is treated with steam and heated by a coil 27, and then passes through gas lift pipe 14 and cooler 20 back to the top of the tower.  A heating coil 26 is provided at the bottom of the rectification zone and is fed with steam, a mix <PICT:0707264/III/1> ture of diphenyl and diphenyl oxide, or through line 21 with hot charcoal from the bottom of the desorption zone.  Two or more heating coils 26 and 27 may be provided and these may be spaced apart.  The hot charcoal may also be used in a heating coil in the upper part of the desorption zone.  Alternative methods of heating in the rectification zone are to remove part of the charcoal or the vapour, heat it in a separate vessel and return it to the rectification zone. The process may also be used for the separation of paraffins, naphthenes, olefins, diolefins, and aromatics using silica gel as adsorbent, the treatment of catalytic cracking gases or hydrocarbon synthius gas, the separation of methane from nitrogen, the recovery of acetylene from gases of the Wulff process, and the separation of C2 hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulphide, and light oil fractions from coke-oven gas.
