Title: Improvements in and connected with the Catalytic Synthesis of Methane.
Inventor: BEDFORD FRED
IPC: C07C1/04
Filed: 1909-07-21
Granted: 1910-09-21
Abstract: 17,017. Bedford, F., and Williams, C. E. July 21. [Cognate Application 22,219/09.] Methane.-In a process for catalytically manufacturing methane, the commercial gas, say Mond or Duff gas, or a mixture of commercial gases, is purified by cooling to such an extent that the sulphur impurities separate in the solid form, before passing over the nickel or other catalytic agent. In one method of procedure, the cooling is carried to such an extent that the carbon monoxide, nitrogen, and methane present in the commercial gas become liquid or solid, the sulphur compounds being also solidified, and the hydrogen being unaffected. By fractional evaporation, carbon monoxide and nitrogen distil off and are separated in a known manner, the former being then mixed with hydrogen in excess of the theoretical quantity, and passed over the nickel &c. According to a modified method, the cooling is carried only to such an extent that the hydrogen retains the required quantity of carbon monoxide, the mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen being then passed over the catalyst, and the methane separated by cooling or other known means. The approximate composition of the Mond gas used is given.

Abstract: 29,270. Spagnoletti, Ltd., and Joyce, V. E. Dec. 16. Oil switches; switch-mechanism, interlocking with lids.-In an ironclad oil-break switch of the interlocking handle and cover type, the oil tank is connected to the cover so that they cannot be completely detached from each other when the tank is lowered for inspection or repair, and the stationary contacts are surrounded with insulation to protect them against accidental contact from tools or the like. According to the modification shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the switch parts, comprising the handle m, the spindle c, knife-blade contacts d, stationary contact e, notched disk o and spring lever p for giving a quick action, are mounted on the cover a, and the oil-tank is attached by hinged bolts u, so that it can be lowered at will along guiderods w, the enlarged ends of which prevent the tank from being completely detached. The interlocking means is composed of an arm y rigidly attached to the switch spindle and turned in at the end z so as to lie under a curved beading 1 if the switch is closed, and between two vertical beadings 2 if the switch is open, the beadings being formed either on the inside or the outside of the oil-tank, and the other parts disposed accordingly. A cylindrical casing f of porcelain or like material protects the fixed contacts e. The pair of knife-blade contacts d are connected at the back through a fuse cartridge k. In a modification, the moving parts of the switch are mounted on the oiltank, and the interlocking-beadings are formed on the cover. In another modification in which the moving parts of the switch are mounted on the cover, the lock to prevent the tank from being lowered while the switch is closed is composed of a raised segmental flange on a disk attached to the spindle and a lug formed on the tank. The lock to prevent the switch from being closed while the tank is down is composed of a detent lever 9, Fig. 6, tending to be drawn by a spring 11 into a notch 13 of a collar 14 and a pin 8 attached to the tank and normally holding the detent out. The operating-handle may be removable, and of the two-ended shape shown in Fig. 9. In modifications which have the locking and quick-break mechanism inside the enclosure, the spindle comes out through a packed gland.

Filed: 1911-01-03
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 153. Jaubert, G. F. Jan. 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Hydrogen is obtained from a dry mixture of powdered metals or their alloys, such as aluminium or zinc, or of non-metals, such as silicon or carbon, or mixtures of any of the foregoing, and alkali or alkaline-earth hydrates, by the action of heat, which is self-generating when the reaction has been started by heating a part of the mixture to from 400-500 C. The mixture is placed, suitably packed in a tin cartridge or asbestos bag or not, for example, in the tube a of a generator, and the end closed by a screwplug b. The tube is surrounded by a casing d forming an annular gas reservoir d<1>, while an extension of the casing, together with the per-. forated bottom c of the tube a contains a suitable filtering mass f, and is provided with an outlet h. To start the action, a hot ball of iron &c. is dropped through a hole, at the exterior end a<1> of the tube a, which is then closed by a screw-plug g. Much heat is evolved, the mass becoming incandescent and the hydrogen evolved accumulating under pressure in the reservoir d'. Other suitable methods of kindling may be employed. Examples of suitable mixtures consist of ferro-silicon, with or without wood charcoal, and hydrated lime, or caustic soda or potash, or both; an inert material such as infusorial earth may be added to modify the violence of the reaction. The mixtures may be agglomerated into briquettes &c.
