Patent GB-2250217-A (GB)
Title: Treatment of gas
Inventor: RATHBONE THOMAS
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1991-11-26
Abstract: A gas stream comprising hydrogen sulphide is partially burned in a furnace 2 to form sulphur dioxide and water vapour. Some of the sulphur dioxide reacts with some of the residual hydrogen sulphide to form sulphur vapour and water vapour. Sulphur vapour is condensed out of the resulting gas mixture in condenser 14. Part of the hydrogen sulphide in the resulting gas mixture is then burned in a second furnace 16 to form more sulphur dioxide and water vapour. Some of the sulphur dioxide reacts with some of the residual hydrogen sulphide to form further sulphur vapour and water vapour. Sulphur vapour is then condensed in condenser 26. Oxygen for the combustion of the hydrogen sulphide is provided from an air separation plant. Nitrogen from the same air separation plant is employed at a pressure of at least 2 atmospheres to provide cooling for the condensers 14 and 26 and is thereby heated. The resulting heated nitrogen is then expanded in turbine 52 with the performance of external work. <IMAGE>

Title: Extendable horticultural plant support column and base system
Inventor: O'MAHONY BEVERLEY JANE
IPC: A01G9/12
Filed: 1992-02-10
Abstract: The support column 2 is rigidly fixed to a base plate 1 by means of push fit socket 6, moulding/welding (7, Figure 2) screwed connection. Additional column lengths are connectable e.g. by push fit socket 4. Movable, adjustable brackets 5 and straps are fitted onto the column for stem holding. The column and base system supports the whole plant, the stem and the root, to provide safer replanting with much reduced loss of root earth and root whilst being moved from one site to another. When planted with a column and base support system the relative movement between the plant stem and root is obviated. Base plate 1 may be of various shapes and is shown with holes and feet for drainage and for roots. <IMAGE>

Title: Sound-insulating concrete wall.
Inventor: ORIKASA TERUO
IPC: E04B1/84
Filed: 1992-04-21
Abstract: A concrete panel (605) according to the present invention is obtained by removing a concrete material into a form, pressing the concrete material to form a formed body having an uneven surface, and putting the formed body out of the form. The concrete material for the concrete panel comprises a cement, a fine aggregate, a dispersing agent, reinforcing fibers, and water. The amount of water included in the mixing concrete material is previously reduced by the dispersing agent. The fine aggregate comprises a component consisting of cinder or fly-ash, each of which have a high water permeability ratio and enables the formed body to be compacted so that the formed body can retain its shape even if the formed body is removed from the form quickly after the pressure step. <IMAGE>

Title: Longwall mining roof control system
Inventor: CALANDRA JR FRANK
IPC: E21C41/16
Filed: 1994-09-30
Abstract: In a longwall mining operation, a panel to be extracted is formed in a seam of mine material by longitudinally extending headgate and tailgate entries with the panel beginning in a set up room and ending at a termination line in a recovery room. The recovery room is developed in two stages. In the first stage, the recovery room extends the transverse width of the panel and extends from the termination line 52 a preselected distance to a first sidewall. A roof control system is installed to support the rock strata over the initial width of the recovery room. A primary support system includes mechanical roof bolt assemblies 66 installed in accordance with a preselected bolt pattern. The roof bolt assemblies are supplemented by trusses 68 extending in spaced parallel relation a preselected distance apart from the termination line to the first sidewall. Channel members 70 are secured in end to end relation to the roof closely adjacent to and parallel to the first sidewall. Thereafter, the width of the recovery room is expanded to approximately twice the initial width. The roof above the expanded width of the recovery room is supported with a system complementary to the system initially installed including roof bolt assemblies 108, trusses 110 and channel members 112, 114. This system supports the roof of the recovery room to withstand the abutment pressures generated as the longwall shearers break through the termination line. <IMAGE>
