Title: Improvements in or relating to Desiccation.
Inventor: HIGGINS HUBERT
Filed: 1898-01-01
Granted: 1898-11-19
Abstract: 61. Higgins, M. Jan. 1. Drying-apparatus.-Relates to steam apparatus in which the exhaust steam may be used, if desired, for heating air. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the drying-chambers A, A<1> are respectively enclosed in chambers B, B<1>. Water supplied from the tank L to the chamber B is heated by a gas or other source of heat E. The steam traverses the pipe C' and the superheating-coil C to the chamber A, passes by the pipe A<2> to the chamber A', and returns by the pipe A<4> to the tank L. The steam from the chamber A may, however, pass by the pipe B<2> to the chamber B to heat the chamber A', which is then furnished with air inlet and exhaust pipes D, D', the steam escaping by the pipe B<3>. A perforated plate or plates C<4> may be provided to distribute the steam. The apparatus is preferably enclosed in a casing K, which is fitted with suitable openings and devices for controlling the supply of air to the source of heat and the escape of the products of combustion. In a modification, the exhaust steam from one series of two or more drying-chambers, after passing through a superheater, is utilized in connection with a second series of drying-chambers. It is then passed through an airheating apparatus consisting of a chamber containing a number of tubes around which the steam circulates and through which air is either drawn or driven by a fan. The air thus heated may be desiccated by calcium chloride and passed through those drying-chambers through which the superheated steam does not circulate. Cocks, such as C<2>, A<3>, A<4>, are provided on the steam and other pipes ; the shape and arrangement of the drying-chambers may be varied ; and, in some cases, the exhaust steam may be either passed through a condenser or allowed to blow to waste.

Granted: 1899-11-01
Abstract: 20,728. Hopcroft, E. D. Oct. 1. Incrustation, removing.-Consists in the application of intense cold, by the use of refrigerating- apparatus, freezing-mixtures, liquid air, and the like, for removing scale from the interiors of boilers, condensers, feedwater-heaters, and similar apparatus, by reducing the temperature below freezing-point. Fig 1 shows an ammonia or like refrigerating-apparatus as adapted for use in connection with a vertical steam boiler. The pump B compresses ammonia or like gas, and causes it to circulate through condensing and expanding coils, after which it returns to the pump. The condensing-coil in the casing C is cooled by water circulation, and the expanding-coil E cools air, which is caused to circulate through the empty boiler. A solution of calcium chloride is caused to trickle over the coil E, to prevent the accumulation of ice thereon. The apparatus may be mounted on a portable carriage. The coil E may be dispensed with, the compressed and cooled gas being, in that case, allowed to expand in the boiler, into which it is delivered by a perforated pipe, before it is returned to the pump. Any suitable means for producing a low temperature may be employed.

Title: Black Colours.
Inventor: SHILLITO THOMAS RICHARD
Filed: 1900-04-07
Granted: 1900-06-09
Abstract: 6559. Shillito, T. R., [Geigy & Co., J. R.]. April 7. Dyes, artificial.-New black dyes for unmordanted cotton are produced by heating p-amidophenol or p-amidocresol (CH3: OH:NH2 1:2:5) with an acetyl compound, for example acetanilide, and sulphur at 200‹ to 280‹ C. The product is dissolved in boiling dilute caustic soda lye, and the dye is precipitated from the solution by means of an acid or sodium carbonate. It dyes in hot sodium-sulphide solution containing common salt, and the shade obtained is deepened by further treatment with oxidizing-agents. In addition to acetanilide, its homologues, the acetnaphthalides, acetylamidophenols, acetylamidonaphthols, and the acetyl derivatives of phenylenediamines, naphthylenediamines, benzidine and analogous diamines, diamidodiphenylamine and its homologues, diamidoazo compounds and triamidoazo compounds may be used. The process may be modified by using a diluent such as glycerin, ethyleneglycol, chlorhydrin, cresol, anthracene, naphthalene, or the like. (2) The acetyl compounds above specified are replaced by amidoazo and oxyazo compounds, such as amidoazobenzene, amidoazotoluene, and the combinations of diazotized aniline, or its homologues, alpha- or #-naphthylamine, amidophenol ethers, amidobenzoic acid, or amidoazobenzene, with dimethylaniline, diethylaniline, monomethylaniline, or monoethylaniline, homologues of these bases, dipbenylamine, n- or #-naphthylamine, or homologues thereof, m-phenylenediamine, or its homologues, amidophenol ethers, toluidines or alkylanilines, or with phenol or its homologues, salicylic acid or its homologues, resorcin, m-oxydiphenylamine, dialkylamidophenols, alpha- or #-naphthol, dioxynaphthalenes or amidonaphthols; (3) The dyes described in the foregoing section are rendered soluble in water by dissolving them in water together with sodium sulphide or a caustic alkali, with or without the addition of sulphur, and then evaporating until the mass is dry when cold. (4) The process in which oxyazo or amidoazo compounds are used may be modified by using a small proportion of sulphur, and operating at a temperature of 180‹-190‹ C. Intermediate products are thus obtained which are soluble in dilute mineral acids, and which, by heating to a higher temperature with more sulphur, are transformed into the dyes.
