Title: The Manufacture or Production of Blue to Blueish-green Dye-stuffs of the Anthraquinone Series.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1898-09-16
Granted: 1899-07-15
Abstract: 19,698. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Sept. 16. Dyes, artificial.-Relates to improvements in the process described in Specification No. 23,927, A.D. 1894, and consists in acting with primary aromatic monamido or diamido compounds upon p - dinitroanthrarufin disulphonic acid and upon p - dinitrocbrysazin disulpbonic acid at about 90‹-100‹ C. Three classes of dyes are thus produced from dinitroanthrarufin disulphonic acid and aniline, and these are isolated as follows :-A dye-stuff termed " A " precipitates from the reaction mixture in the form of dark violet-blue crystals, which are filtered off. The filtrate is poured into a large quantity of dilute hydrochloric acid, whereby a dye-stuff termed " B " is thrown down as a dark blue precipitate. This is filtered off, and from the filtrate a small quantity of a third dye-stuff termed " C " is precipitated by addition of potassium chloride. The dye-stuffs "A" and "B" are difficultly soluble in cold water, but more soluble in hot water, and they dye unmordanted wool in acid baths blue and greenishblue shades respectively. The dye-stuff "C" is easily soluble in water, and dyes unmordanted wool bright greenish-blue shades. When p-toluidine is used in place of aniline, analogous results are obtained. When o-toluidine and m-xylidine are employed, the dye-stuffs " C " form the principal product. Dinitrochrysazin disulphonic acid yields almost exclusively easily-soluble dyes.

Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for Separating Liquids from Solid Materials.
Inventor: KREISS CHRISTIAN EUGEN
Filed: 1898-11-30
Granted: 1899-11-30
Abstract: 25,296. Kreiss, C. E. Nov. 30. Straining liquids.-The improved process and apparatus may be used, among other purposes, for washing and lixiviating. A reciprocating trough b is supported in an inclined position by spring rods d or otherwise, the supports being arranged so that the trough receives a small motion parallel to itself in addition to its longitudinal motion. The effect of this is that the granular or like material fed into the lower end of the trough is caused to creep up the trough. The liquid escapes through the perforations into a trough c<2>, whence it is either led away or returned into the trough b. The upward motion of the solid matter may also be obtained by a series of steps in the bottom of the trough. For some materials the perforations may be wholly or partially dispensed with, in the former case the liquid moving downwards, and the solid matter upwards, over the same surface.
