Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Indigo.
IPC: C09B7/04
Filed: 1910-10-25
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 24,820. Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning. Oct. 25, 1909, [Convention date]. Indigo is obtained in finely-divided forms by oxidation of the alkali salts of indoxyl or indoxylcarboxylic acid described in Specifications 22,288/10 and 24,690/10. According to examples: -(1) a press-cake of alkali-indoxyl obtained as described in Specification 22,288/10 is dissolved in water and stirred with a current of air with or without oxygen-carriers such as copper salts, sulphites, &c. The adhering or combined alkali may be neutralized by addition of ammonium chloride, carbon dioxide, or other acid; the paste is dried; agglutinants such as starch, glue, or saccharine substances, or inorganic substances such as kaolin, aluminium hydrate, lime, chalk, or magnesia, may be added to the paste before drying; or the alkaliindoxyl is treated with air, in the presence or not of a little water or a suspending-agent, the alkali formed preferably being neutralized by carbon dioxide &c. ; or the precipitation may be effected in presence of soluble inorganic salts such as sodium carbonate or sulphate. (2) Indigo is obtained similarly from alkali-indoxyl in presence of glucose or other soluble or insoluble carbohydrate such as starch or gum, or in presence of mucilages, vegetable glue, resinates, albumens, peptones, glues, cellulose liquors, salts of fatty acids, &c. or in the presence of insoluble inorganic bodies such as alumina, kaolin, magnesia, or lime. The products vary in properties according as more or less alkaline or neutral substances are present; thus the products obtained in the presence of alum, or magnesium or calcium chloride differ from those obtained in the presence of the corresponding hydrated metallic oxides. (3) Air and carbon dioxide are alternately or simultaneously introduced into a solution of alkali-indoxyl. (4) An alkali-indoxyl solution is mixed with potassium ferricyanide, chlorine water, or other oxidizing- agent such as basic ferric salts, with or without partial neutralization of the adhering or combined alkali. Specifications 12,854/05 and 25,693/05 are also referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the production of a colloidal indigo by passing air into a solution of alkali-indoxyl mixed with soap; the colloidal solution or suspension is filtered, after addition of a salt if desired, or is evaporated in vacuo, or is precipitated by acid and filtered ; in the latter case the paste again becomes colloidal on mixing with ammonia or alkali hydrate. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
