Title: A process for catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons into carbonyl compounds or acids
IPC: C07C47/00
Filed: 1921-01-04
Abstract: Catalysts for the oxidation of hydrocarbons in the vapour state to aldehydic, ketonic and carboxylic compounds are the metal salts of acid metal oxides, e.g. vanadates, chromates, molybdates, uranates, and stannates of copper, silver, lead, thallium, platinum, cerium, nickel, and cobalt.  According to the example, anthracene yields anthraquinone when mixed with air, preferably under pressure, and passed over a catalyst prepared by shaking pumice, which has previously been impregnated with gum solution and dried, with copper vanadate, obtained by adding copper sulphate to an alkali vanadate. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) mentions arsenic acid as an acid component of the catalyst, and described the preparation of a catalytic material by impregnating pumice with silver vanadate, obtained by adding silver nitrate to sodium orthovanadate.  It also states that the hydrocarbons can be treated in the liquid state or dissolved in an inert solvent.

Title: Method of producing artificial manures
IPC: C05C13/00
Filed: 1926-01-05
Abstract: 245,768. Siemens & Halske Akt.- Ges. Jan. 9, 1925, [Convention date]. Manures. - A nitrogenous manure consisting principally of urea and ammonium chloride is obtained by bringing carbon monoxide, chlorine, and ammonia into reaction with each other. The process is preferably carried out by first combining the carbon monoxide with the chlorine to form phosgene, and then injecting a liquid saturated with ammonia into the reaction chamber. If the ammonia and phosgene are in a volumetric ratio of 4 : 1, the product consists of one molecular proportion of urea mixed with two of ammonium chloride; if a smaller proportion of ammonia is used, other nitrogenous compounds, such as cyanamide, cyanuric acid, and ammelide, are also formed. The products separate out on cooling the reaction liquid, the residual liquid being used to absorb more ammonia, while any excess of phosgene is also utilized in a subsequent reaction. The carbon monoxide, ammonia, and chlorine may be obtained as by-products in calcium carbide, calcium cyanamide, and electrolytic alkali plants.

Abstract: 152,368. Scarff, F. W. Jan. 11, 1918. Mountings for use on aircraft; field carriages.- Relates to aircraft and vehicle mountings of the kind in which a machine gun is mounted on an elevating arm pivoted to an horizontallyrotatable ring. According to the invention, the elevating-arm and the rotatable ring are looked in their adjusted positions by devices which are actuated simultaneously, or in succession, to effect unlocking by a single control wire operated by a handle on the elevating-arm. When operated in succession, the ring is released before the elevating arm. A socket is provided in the arm for a carrier for a single gun, or a carrier for two connected guns; or two sockets may be provided for the two connected guns. Elastic cords balance the turning moment in a vertical plane due to the weight of the elevating-arm. and the parts carried thereby. The rotatable ring is mounted on ball or roller bearings. Fig. 1 is a sectional plan of part of one form of the mounting. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same part. Fig. 9 shows the operating handle 16 and control wire 19 for the locking devices. The U-shaped elevating-arm 7 is pivoted at 6 to brackets 4 on the ring 2, which is rotatable by hand on one or more sets of rollers 3 on a fixed ring 1. Spring- pressed bolts 26 lock the ring 2 to the ring 1, and locking pins 9 carried by longitudinal rods 23 in the sides of the elevating-arm engage with notched segments 8 extending upwards from the sides of the ring 2. Alternatively, the segments may extend downwardly from the sides of the elevating-arm and the locking members be mounted on the ring 2 in such manner as to be actuated by the control wire 19. The wire passes at its centre over two fixed pulleys 17, mounted in the elevating-arm adjacent to the gun-carrier socket 30, and around a movable pulley 18 carried by the pivoted operating handle 16. The two ends of the wire are connected to lugs 22 on the sliding rods 23, the lugs being also jointed to bellcranks 24, the lower arms of which operate the locking bolts 26. The gun carrier 31 mounted in the socket 30 is arranged to allow universal movement of the gun relatively to the elevating- arm. When two guns are carried, they are adjustably inter-connected by a readily detachable rear connexion so that they are maintained parallel, but are universally-movable relatively to the elevating-arm. The elastic balancing cords 11 pass over brackets 10 on the segments 8, around pulleys 12 on the elevating-arm, below grooved guides 13 concentric with the pivots 6, and beneath guide-plates 14 on the brackets 4. According to the Provisional Specification, the rotatable ring may also be within the fixed ring, and be rotated by gearing, and the U-shaped elevating-arm may be substituted by a frame hinged on a tube forming a chord of the rotatable ring. A wind-balancing device is also described comprising a wind vane driving gearing which tends to rotate the rotatable ring with a force equal and opposite to that due to the windpressure acting on the mounting.
