Title: Improvements in the working up of the oil bearing residues from destructive hydrogenation or pressure extraction processes
IPC: C10G1/00
Filed: 1929-05-10
Abstract: 330,723. Johnson, J. Y., (I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.-Ges.). May 10, 1929. Addition to 304,404, [Class 55 (ii), Gas manufacture &c.]. Coking processes.-The process of the parent Specification is modified by mixing with the oil bearing residues from destructive hydrogenation or pressure extractions of carbonaceous materials, or from refining oils, for example with aluminium chloride, coal or other natural carbonizable material, and heating the mixture to above 600' C. A good coke is obtained in addition to the oil recovered. The mixture may be briquetted and heated first to 400‹ or 500' C. and then to 900‹ or 1000‹ C. To obtain an increased yield of oils reduced pressure or scavenging gases may be used. Cracked or unsaturated hydrocarbons are recovered if the mass is heated rapidly to 800‹ C.

Title: Improvements in or relating to waste gas purification
Inventor: KERR JOHN
IPC: B01D53/86
Filed: 1965-04-07
Abstract: 1,132,846. Production of sulphur; waste gas treatment. PETER SPENCE & SONS Ltd. 6 April, 1966 [7 April, 1965], No. 14679/65. Heading C1A, Sulphur is produced from flue or other waste gas containing not more than 5% by weght SO 2  by reducing the S0 2  with a reducing gas comprising COS, said reducing gas being formed out of contact with the flue gas and thereafter mixed with it to react with the SO 2  content preferably at a temperature of 100-150‹ C. in the presence of a catalyst to produce sulphur. Preferably the flue gas contains not more than 1% SO 2  and the COS is obtained by reacting S with CO. The reducing gas may be a mixture of COS and H 2 S which mixture may be produced by reacting a mixture of CO and H 2  with S. The CO and H 2  may be obtained by the steam reforming of hydrocarbons. The reducing gas is preferably mixed with the flue gas in an amount from 50 to 90% of the stoichiometric quantity for reaction with the S0 2  in the flue gas. The S produced may be deposited on the catalyst and removed therefrom by heating to regenerate the catalyst. Part of the catalyst to be regenerated may be treated with a mixture of CO and H 2  to form a mixture of H 2 S and COS. The spent catalyst may be continuously transferred from a reaction zone in which SO 2  is reduced to a regeneration zone, and a preferred catalyst is activated alumina.

Abstract: 1355415 Dredging vessel BALLASTNEDAM GROEP NV 14 May 1971 [14 May 1970] 15048/71 Headings B7A and B7M In a dredging vessel 1 having a hold 2 for receiving spoil 3, sensing points 14a-14e with pressure pick-up 28, Fig. 3A (not shown), constitute first means for sensing the distribution of weight at different levels 38a-38e in the vessel. Pressure pick-up 27 and sensing points 13a-13e constitute second means for sensing the level of the upper surface of spoil in the hold in a settled condition and a device 31, Fig. 3B (not shown), receives signals from the first and second sensing means. This device computes a value of a parameter decisive of the stability of the vessel in a manner that allows for the effect of that portion of the spoil that is in fluidized condition, to compare the computed value of the parameter with a previously calculated value to provide a signal 92, Fig. 3B (not shown), when the computed value approaches the calculated value. Jack 113 is responsive to that signal and operates valves 114, 115 which control the loading of spoil into the hold.

Abstract: 504,001. Date indicators. LINDKVIST, B. E. May 20, 1938, No. 15056. [Class 106(iv)] A date indicator comprises a strip on which the dates are printed, the strip being advanced one step daily by a spring motor controlled by a clock, the control means comprising a wheel oscillated by the clock. The strip is stored on a roller 15 and wound on to a roller 14 by a spring motor 26. In passing-from the roller 16 the strip runs over a sprocket roller 19 geared to a shaft 35 carrying at its upper end an arm 37, Fig. 4, normally blocked by an arm 39, 41 pivoted at 40. Once every day a springy arm 53 and link 52 are moved upwards, Fig. 4, by means described below to rock a lever 49 pivoted at 50 and embracing a pin 46 secured to a control wheel 45 acted on by a spring 47. The wheel 45 is thus oscillated anticlockwise against the action of the spring 47, the pin 46 rocking the lever 41 to release the date strip. The spring 47 then returns the wheel 45 and the lever 41 resumes its blocking position to arrest the arm 37 after one rotation of the shaft 35. The arm 53 is connected to a springy arm 56, Figs. 2, 6, bearing against a wheel 60 rotated once daily by the clock. The wheel 60 has a cam boss 61 bearing against a pin 62 secured to a fixed shaft 59, so that once every day the arm 56 pushes the wheel 60 along the shaft, the movement of the arm 56 operating the arm 53.

A gas tap mechanism controlling ignition and main gas valves 25, 23 respectively has an axially moving pressure pin 37 which successively lifts the two coaxially arranged valves from their seats 24, 22 respectively and between which seats the ignition gas conduit branches off, both valves opening against the gas flow, the main gas valve being carried along by a thrust or traction part after the necessary stroke for opening the ignition valve. Rotation of a knob 39 depresses the pin 37 through a cam 40 so that after first opening the valve 25 allowing the ignition gas to pass via ports 36, 34, 35 and the hollow stem 28 to the ignition conduit 32, the valve 25 contacts the bottom of a chamber formed in the valve 23 and lifts this off its seat. In a modification a cup-shaped ignition valve encloses a smaller main valve and the ignition conduit leads directly from the space between the valves. A flange on the solid pusher pin entrains'the main valve after first opening the ignition valve.

Loading station.-The loading station 19 includes an eccentrically mounted roller 27 which can oscillate against the bias of a spring to prevent breakage of tape due to fluctuation of tape speed. Transverse guiding.-The tape is registered transversely by the station 22 against a base plate 14 serving as a reference wall by an endless belt 34 co-acting with a spring biased roller 39, Fig. 3, and by a further roller 112 mounted loosely on a shaft 109 adjacent the winding station 24, both the belt 24 and the roller 112 being mounted pivotally to exert a lateral component force on the tape 21 to bias the latter towards the base plate 14. Tape threading device.-The device includes a pair of pivotable jaws 121 which in the inoperative position shown in Fig. 3, are open and carried by an electromagnet 127 actuated pair of pivotal arms 123 which during threading of the tape 21 are pivoted upwardly when the tape passes a photo-electric detector 153, 154 which actuates the electromagnet 127 and holds it for a predetermined period until a number of tape coils have been wound on to the winding spindle 118.
