The fore end is fitted with a perforated lining 16, an annular space 17 separating the two. The rear end encloses a primary combustion chamber 23, into which projects a nozzle 22 carried by a sliding plate 20. This plate is provided with an opening 21, and is situated between the rear end of the burner and an air chamber 18 connected at its lower end with a blower. The nozzle surrounds the opening 21 at its rear end, and is provided with a discharge orifice 24. The oil passes through a valved coupling-piece to a vertical feed-tube 25 fitted with a cleaning- rod 27.- The plate 20 may be adjusted vertically by means of a screw 30, so as to regulate the volume of air supplied for the purpose of atomizing the oil discharged from the nozzle of the feed-tube. An air chamber 31 is formed beneath the primary combustion chamber 23 and communicates with the annular space 17 and with the air chamber 18; a valve plate 34 regulates the supply of air passing between the chambers 31, 18. An ignition opening is provided in the wall of the primary combustion chamber. When the whole apparatus is in operation, oil drips from the nozzle of the feedpipe 25, Fig. 4, in front of the air orifice 24, and is atomized and ignited through the ignition opening. This opening is then closed, combustion takes place in the chamber 23, and in the forward end 14 of the burner, and the combustion products pass through and raise firebrick or other refractory material to incandescence. At this stage the oil supply is increased so that combustion is incomplete and the whole of the products pass through the hot mass and form-producer gas.

Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 16,589. Boidin, A. Aug. 15. Gelatine; gums; starch.-Relates to a process for preparing carbohydrates, such as starch, inulin, glycogen, gelose from agar-agar, gums, and mucilages, in a readily-soluble condition, and chiefly adapted for preparing grain &c. for saccharification; the process consists in the removal of the phosphates from the materials, or in the conversion of these phosphates into insoluble, phosphates, or monobasic alkaline phosphates. The removal of the phosphates is effected by systematic washing with water, preferably charged with-carbonic acid ; the conversion into insoluble phosphates is effected by treatment with small amounts of metallic salts, such as calcium chloride, or copper or iron salts ; the conversion into monobasic alkaline phosphates is effected by the use of small quantities of acid. In an example, crushed maize, is steeped in water containing a small amount of hydrochloric acid until the mixture becomes neutral or alkaime, as shown by testing with alizarin red ; the mixture may then be readily boiled, giving a solution of starch; rye is similarly treated ; potatoes are preferably first pressed and then treated with hydrochloric acid.

Filed: 1907-06-07
Granted: 1908-06-09
Abstract: 13,254. Snyder, F. T. June 7. Electric furnaces.-In a furnace for smelting ores containing zinc or other volatile metal so as to obtain the metal in liquid form, the volatilized metal is prevented from accompanying the reduction gases in their escape from the furnace, the liquid metal being removed through a separate opening at the lower part of the furnace. The ore, mixed with reducing and fluxing agents, is fed into the open top of a chamber surrounded by an iron water-jacket b, the bottom of the furnace being formed by a crucible a. The non-volatile metal falls into the crucible, and is ladled out through a well o. The upper part of the charge in the furnace is kept at such a low temperature that vaporized metal which would other wise pass off through the open top with the reduction gases is condensed. This condensed vapour is again vaporized as the charge feeds downwards, and is finally condensed on the walls of the jacket, the metal trickling down and being collected between the jacket and a dam formed by congealed slag, passages g allowing the metal to pass out to wells h. The furnace is heated by the passage of the current through the slag layer, the congealed s'ag forming an insulating lining for the iron jacket. Alternating current is employed and passes into and out of the furnace through the same end. A three-phase system of electrical distribution may be employed, three carbon electrodes c being provided, which dip into the conducting-material in the crucible. The slag is tapped off periodically through openings l.
