IPC: C01G28/00
Filed: 1968-07-26
Abstract: Process for preparing phosphoric acid, wherein phosphate-contg. material is decomposed with at least 50% H3PO4 satd. with mono-Ca phosphate at above 95 deg. and mono-Ca phosphate is crystallised out by cooling. The crystals are separated and converted to H3PO4 by ion exchange, at least part of the mother and wash liquors being re-circulated. The crystn. of the mono Ca phosphate occurs in the presence of the insol. matter in the mixture and after contact with the ion exchanger and removal of the H3PO thus formed, the insol. matter is removed from the ion exchanger by back washing which may be done before or after regenerating the cation exchanger. - The process is an improvement on Belg. Pat. 657240 in which H3PO4 is produced from crude phosphate rock by reaction with H3PO4 and liberation of phosphoric acid from the resulting Ca phosphate by ion exchange.

Title: Control of liquid boiling appliance
Inventor: SMITH DAVID ANDREW
IPC: A47J27/21
Filed: 2000-01-27
Abstract: An automatic water boiling appliance heats the water to a predetermined sub-boiling temperature and then activates a timer to time out a further heat-to-boiling period after which the heating element 1 of the appliance is switched off An accurate bimetallic cut out 2 is used to sense a water temperature of, say, 94{C. When the cut-out operates at 94{C, in one embodiment a time current selected cut-out 4 maintains the current supply to the heating element 1 for a redetermined further period, and in another embodiment an auxiliary heater (11, Figure 2) is energized to initiate the operation of a thermal relay which cuts out after a predetermined further time period. The system automatically compensates for voltage variations and is usable all over the world despite the variations which occur in the boiling temperature of water. Means can readily be provided to adjust the further heat-to-boil time period so as to give a long or short boil as desired.
