Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 28,679. Bloxam, A. G., [Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron]. Dec. 9. Anthracene dyes are obtained by heating with condensing-agents, with or without diluents, bimolecular reduction products of anthraquinone linked at the meso-carbon atom, such as dianthrone, dianthranol, or bianthrone. Suitable condensing - agents are aluminium chloride, ferric chloride, chromic chloride, antimony pentachloride, sulphuric acid, zinc chloride, mercuric chloride, or stannic chloride; nitrobenzene is a suitable diluent. The products dye cotton from a vat various shades of brown to black. Dianthrone is obtained by oxidizing anthranol bv means of ferric chloride in glacial acetic acid. Bianthrone is obtained by reducing anthraquinone with zinc and caustic soda lye under pressure, and oxidizing the alkaline solution by sodium hypochlorite. Dianthranol is obtained by reducing anthraquinone with zinc dust and caustic soda lye under pressure.

Filed: 1911-02-22
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 4497. O'Connor, J. F. Feb. 22. Buffers of the type secured below the floorplates of the car comprise spring and friction elements which operate in three stages; (1) a light primary spring is compressed, (2) heavier secondary springs are compressed, and (3) the secondary springs coact with a frictional element. Fig. 1 is an elevation, Fig. 2 is a plan, and Fig. 3 a. cross-section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. The primary spring 6 receives the thrust from the buffer bar 5 through a socket 9 with an internal boss 7. The secondary springs 13, 14 are similarly accommodated in the casing 15. The friction element comprises a wedgepiece 8, antifriction rollers 12, and a number of segmental friction-shoes 11 engaging a cylinder 10, which is movable longitudinally. In the first stage of the operation, the compression of the spring 6 is limited by the abutment of the members 7, 8. During the second stage, which comprises the compression of the secondary springs 13, 14, the whole of the frictional mechanism moves inwards. The third stage commences when the sleeve 10 abuts upon the casing 15, and the final limit is reached when the socket 9 abuts upon the sleeve 10.

Title: Improvements in Processes for Extracting Useful Products from Distillers' Wash.
Inventor: GUIGNARD GASTON PHILIPPE

Abstract: 12,737. Guignard, G. P., and Watrigant, H. L. A. M. May 30, 1910, [Convention date]. Glycerine, obtaining and purifying; recovering fats from waste waters.-In the treatment of dipstillers' wash for the recovery of useful products, (1) glycerine and fatty matters or betaine are extracted by evaporating the wash to dryness and extracting the residue with a mixture of absolute alcohol and a solvent, such as acetone or carbon tetrachloride, which is soluble in alcohol; (2) before it is dried, the wash is preferably treated for the removal of succinic, tartaric, citric, lactic, and other organic acids. (1) In the treatment of wash derived from grain, glycerine and fat are obtained in solution and are separated by decantation after the solvent has been distilled off. The residue is used as a cattle food. Wash derived from molasses or beet-root yields a solution containing glycerine and betaine; these are separated by distilling the solvent and extracting the glycerine from the residue by means of carbon tetrachloride. The residue in this case is treated for the production of crystals of sodium and potassium bicarbonates. The glycerine is purified either by distillation or by concentrating it and extracting the residue with the mixture of solvents. The preliminary desiccation may be effected in the apparatus described in Specification 12,736/11, [Class 32, Distilling &c.]. (2) In order to extract the acids, the wash is mixed with zinc oxide, ferric hydrate, and either lime or baryta or both and is then saturated with carbonic acid, a precipitate of zinc lactate, ferric soccinate, and calcium or barium citrate, tartrate, and carbonate being formed.
