Title: Process and Apparatus for Concentrating Magnetic Iron Ores and Bricking the same for Market.
Inventor: MILLS BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD
Filed: 1898-04-12
Granted: 1898-07-16
Abstract: 8528. Mills, B. J. B., [Edison, T. A.]. April 12. Treating ores.-A plant is described for breaking and concentrating magnetic iron ore and moulding the same into a convenient marketable form. The ore is broken between rollers 1, 2 and raised from a hopper 3 into a second one 5. Thence it is fed to crushing-rollers 7, 8, and 9, and falls into a hopper 10 from which it is raised and delivered on to a shoot 12 leading to a series of screens 13. From these screens the tailings are returned, by a shoot 15, to the rollers 9 to be reground, while the screened material falls into a chamber 17 in which it is dried by hot air and furnace gases. From the hopper 22 the dried material is delivered, in the manner shown, to a platform 25 in which are delivery openings 26 directing it into heaps in a covered shed provided with a ventilating-fan 28. The floor of the shed has apertures to deliver the material on to a conveyer and elevator 30 by which it is supplied to a hopper 32. From the latter the ore passes over screens 34, from which the tailings pass to a hopper 37<1> delivering them to crushing-rollers 40<1>. The sifted ore and crushed tailings fall on to a conveyer 36, and are delivered to screens 37 from which the tailings fall on to a conveyer 38 and are returned to the rollers 40<1> in the manner shown. The sifted material from the screen 37 falls into magnetic separators 41, from which the non-magnetic materials pass to a suitable dump by means of a conveyer 42, while the magnetic material is conveyed, in the manner shown, to a drier 48. From the latter the ore passes to a set of screens 52 from which the tailings are conveyed to crushing-rollers 57, and pass back to the screens by the means shown. The sifted material is conveyed to a second magnetic separator 63, whence the refuse is conveyed to a dump, while the ore passes to a dusting-apparatus 66 supplied with blasts of air. A conveyer 67 carries away the dust, and the ore falls into a third separator 68 provided with a conveyer to return the refuse to the crushing-rollers 57 and with a second conveyer carrying the separated ore to a drier 75. From this a conveyer leads the ore to an apparatus 78 in which it is mixed with petroleum and resin or with some other binding-agent. The mixture is then cooled by an air blast while passing over plates 80, and raised to a moulding-machine 85. From this moulding-apparatus the briquettes, which are preferably cylindrical, are delivered to a conveyer hanging on festoons in an oven 88. The dried briquettes fall down a shoot on to a conveyer delivering them into a wagon or other carriage.

Abstract: 8548. Buck, T. April 12. Moulding bricks &c.-A stream of clay A is forced through the die of an extrusion machine on to a table g<2>, and is cut by wires i into bricks which are removed on boards g<3> by a cranked lever l<4> and endless carrier chains k<0>. A longitudinally-sliding frame g, carrying the cutting-wires and table. is mounted on rollers g<1> on a transversely-sliding frame f, and is reciprocated by a crank disc e acting through a slotted connecting-rod e<4>, a rocking lever e<5>, and a forked connecting-rod e<8> provided with rollers which grip a bar g<5> of the frame g. The crank disc is mounted loosely on its spindle. and is driven by a ratchet-wheel c<1> and pawl e<1> when a retaining-arm f<1> is withdrawn from the tail end of the pawl by the movement of the frame f, which takes place when the stream of clay comes in contact with stop rollers at the end of the frame g. The frame f, with the frame g, the cutting-wires i, and the cut bricks, is moved on rollers a<1> clear of the advancing column of clay by the crank-pin e<3> coming in contact with the bent arm j<4> of a spindle which is connected by a crank and connecting-rod to the frame f. The return movement of the frame f is produced by the action of the crank-pin on a second bent arm j<5> projecting from the spindle. The endless carrier chains k<0> are driven intermittently by an endless chain d<4> operated by a second ratchet and pawl clutch arrangement on the shaft c. An additional retaining-arm f<3> holds the pawl out of action during the forward movement of the frame f, and releases it at the end of the return movement. The levers l<4> are pivoted to cranks l<2> at the ends of the spindle l, and slide in guides l<5>. On the rotation of the spindle l, the ends l<3> of the levers come underneath the board g<3>, and lift it, with the bricks, on to the endless chains k<0>. The chains k<0> are provided with projecting rollers k<7>, and can be operated independently by a handle on the spindle k<3>. A roller k<5> is provided at the end of the carrier frame to support a tongue or strip projecting from a barrow or truck B. The cutting- wires are cleaned by a grooved frame m carried by levers m<2>. The frame is depressed by hand, and raised by springs m<6> which bear on the ends of the levers.

Granted: 1899-03-11
Abstract: 10,590. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. May 9. Phenols.-Relates to a new method of preparing trihydroxy aromatic compounds. Triacetates of trihydroxy compounds are first produced by acting upon quinones such as benzoquinone, toluquinone, alpha- and #-naphthoquinone, and the like, with acetic anhydride and a dehydrating substance, such as concentrated sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, or phosphoric anhydride, the temperature being kept below 50‹ C. The reaction is represented thus- C6H4O2 + 2 (CH3 CO)2 O # CH3.COOH + C6H3 (OCOH3)3. The mixture is then poured into water, and the precipitated triacetate is purified by crystallization. The triacetate of hydroxy-hydroquinone melts at 97‹ C. and boils without decomposition at above 300‹ C. The triacetate of hydroxy-#-hydronaphthoquinone melts at 135‹ C. When saponified, the triacetates yield the corresponding free trihydroxy compounds, such as hydroxy hydroquinone, a, #1 alpha2-trihydroxy-naphthalene, &c.

Patent GB-190006494-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Vapor-burning Apparatus.
Filed: 1900-04-06
Granted: 1900-09-15
Abstract: 6494. Wise, W. L., [Kitson, A.]. April 6. Vapour burners.-The invention is described in connection with an incandescent vapour lamp, but apparatus may be employed for heating purposes. The crude or other oil supply, controlled by the tap 22, traverses the tube 19, the iron-sponge or other filtering-media 16, and the tube 15, whence it discharges tangentially into the condensing- chamber 13, into which the inclined filtering- tube 20 and the vaporizing-tube 10 drain. The vaporizing-tube 10 terminates in castings 23, 30, and contains a thermostatically-actuated valve 33, which is so adjusted that it only opens after the tube 10 has been sufficiently heated to vaporize the oil admitted. In the construction shown in Figs. 3 to 7, the parts 27, 31 are made of metals possessing different coefficients of expansion, but rods composed of a single metal may be employed, the action being assisted by springs. In one modification, a valve having a short stem is mounted in one end of the tube 10, and the valve is opened and closed by the expansion and contraction of the end casting 23 which carries the valve seat. The oil is heated to a certain extent while traversing the tube 20, but the greater part of the heat from the burners 1 is concentrated upon the tube 10 by means of the shield 55. The condensing-chamber 13 is provided with a draw off cock 17, and the choking of the vapour-outlet orifice 11 is prevented by making the channel 36 in the upper part of the casting 30.
