Title: Improvements in the manufacture and production of liquid hydrocarbons
IPC: C07C2/00
Filed: 1928-04-10
Abstract: 311,899. I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.- Ges. April 10, 1928. Addition to 258,608. Aromatic hydrocarbons.-In a modification of the process of the parent Specification, liquid hydrocarbons, especially of the aromatic series, are obtained by passing methane, ethane or mixtures thereof over specified catalysts, together with unsaturated hydrocarbons, especially olefines, or with higher homologues of the paraffin series, if desired together with hydrogen, at temperatures preferably between 500‹ and 900‹ C., the process being carried out under ordinary pressure. The catalysts specified are carbonates of the alkaline earth, oxides, hydroxides, or carbonates or other salts of magnesium or beryllium, alone or admixed, or mixtures thereof with compounds of other metals, particularly salts of alkaline earth metals. Further, compounds of selenium, tellurium or thallium, active charcoal, active silica, pumice stone, lustrous carbon, metallic aluminium, sodium borate, aluminium borate, barium carbonate precipitated on diatomaceous earth or porous carbon, or barium oxide may be used. The starting materials may include the decomposition products of coal, tars or mineral oils, and may be passed directly over the catalysts or may be preliminarily treated, e.g. to remove carbon dioxide or add certain hydrocarbons, or the gas mixture may be first passed over a suitable contact mass, e.g. of a dehydrogenating nature. Gases rich in ethane or its homologues are suitable, and may be first subjected to a catalytic treatment to convert the saturated compounds partly into ethylene or other olefines, and then treated to obtain liquid hydrocarbons. Any carbon monoxide present may react with paraffin hydrocarbons to form liquid products; carbon monoxide may thefore be added to the reacting gases. According to the examples, (1) a gas obtained from the low temperature carbonization of coal and containing carbon dioxide, unsaturated heavy hydrocarbons, hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen is passed at 600-700‹ C., directly or after removal of carbon dioxide, through a quartz or porcelain tube filled with granulated magnesite or active silica; the liquid product contains 40-45 per cent crude benzol; an oil gas containing methane, hydrogen and unsaturated heavy hydrocarbons may be similarly treated; the yield may be increased by the presence of a little acetylene; (2) a low temperature carbonization gas containing ethane and homologues is rapidly passed at 900‹ C. over pumice stone, and then more slowly at 700‹ C. over barium oxide; the benzene hydrocarbons may be removed from the products in any suitable manner Specifications 267,155, 291,137, 296,683, 296,693, and 296,694 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in condensers for use in radio signalling apparatus and the like
IPC: H01G5/38
Filed: 1926-04-26
Abstract: 271,229. Hodson, R. April 26, 1926. Condensers of the rotary interleaving vane type, any number of the fixed vanes of which may be brought into circuit, have an additional series of vanes mounted on a common revoluble conductor, each vane of this series being adjustable in contact with, in order to bring into circuit, its corresponding vane in the series of fixed vanes. The rotary vanes a, which may be shaped to give any desired relation (for example, square law or straight-line frequency) between the movements of the knob and plates, are mounted on a spindle h and interleave with mutually insulated fixed vanes b, which are adapted to be engaged, and brought into circuit, by the corresponding vanes c of a third set of vanes which are electrically connected by means of their supporting spindle f. The first vane c<1> is brought into contact with its fixed vane b<1> and the vane a' rotated into overlapping position, and if this is insufficient the vane a' is returned to inoperative position and the spindle f rotated to bring into circuit the next of the vanes b, the vanes a being then introduced for tuning. The process is repeated until the requisite number of plates is obtained, and if sufficient plates are employed a wide range of capacity can be covered. Separate knobs are provided for the vanes a<1>, a, and an indicator e shows the number of vanes c in circuit. Contact between the vanes b, c is effected by slotting the former at b<2> and indenting them at b<3>. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, only half the vanes b are engaged by vanes c, the other half being electrically connected together and brought into circuit by the last vane c<5> engaging the vane b<7>. Further rotation disconnects the vanes successively, starting with the lowest vane b<6>.
