Title: Improvements in Smelting Ores Containing Sulphides.
Inventor: CARRICK JAMES TAYLOR
Filed: 1906-10-08
Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 22,166. Carrick, J. T., and Pattison, S. Oct. 8. Cupola furnaces.-In a process for the treatment of pyritic copper or nickel or copper-nickel sulphide ores, sulphuretted hydrogen evolved from the treatment of the matte first produced with sulphuric acid is passed into the cupola through a special set of tuyeres located adjacent to the air tuyeres. The gas in burning with the air constitutes part or the whole of the fuel necessary for the reduction of further quantities of ore. The intense heat so produced in the neighbourhood of the tuyeres prevents the formation of crusts, and so enables the whole series of tuyeres to be kept continuously in blast. The percentage ot sulphur dioxide in the flue gases is also increased, the gases being utilized for the manufacture of sulphuric acid.

Title: Improvements in Process for the Concentration of Dilute Nitric Acid.
Inventor: WOLFFENSTEIN RICHARD
Filed: 1906-12-13
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 28,449. Wolffenstein, R., and Boeters, I. O. Dec. 18, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Concentrating nitric acid.-Nitric acid is concentrated by treatment with water-binding nitrate such as calcium or magnesium nitrates. In the example, calcium nitrate is dehydrated by heat, partly cooled, and treated with the weak acid. On renewed heating, concentrated acid distils over. The calcium nitrate which remains is again dehydrated. It is advantageous to conduct the process by running the weak acid on to nitrate which has absorbed a considerable quantity of water, the stronger acid produced meeting nitrate containing less water, and so on.

Abstract: 880. Lincoln, J. C. Jan. 12, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901], Motors, controlling ; sparking, preventing. - In variable-speed electric motors, particularly such as are described in Specification No. 13,427, A.D. 1906, in which the speed is regulated by moving the armature laterally, sparking is prevented, particularly at high speeds, by a commutating-field produced by an electro-magnet positioned at the side of the field structure and adjacent to the armature when displaced from its normal position. The electro-magnet, which is excited by the armature current, is preferably E-shaped with oppositely-wound coils on the outer limbs, which serve to prevent the usual drop in speed under heavy loads. The axial movement of the armature may be effected by means of a screw-threaded rod o, Fig. 2, engaging with a tapped part or clevis m attached to one end of a lever l, the other end k of which engages with an enlarged cap j on the bearing g of the armature sbaft. A stiff spring n is mounted on the tapped part m to oppose the normal inward pull of the armature. The commutating electro-magnet q, Fig. 3, which is situated between and beyond two main poles b and is energized by windings r, is made up of laminated plates, Fig. 4, and is preferably provided with a lateral extension v. The winding w produces the commutating-field, and the windings x, y create a field that serves to counteract the speed-drop on heavy loads. In a modified form of the electro-magnet, Fig. 5, the windings r are disposed upon an iron core shaving lateral extensions t, which lie between but beyond the main poles b. The windings w and x, y may be used separately. The secondary magnet system may comprise one or more electro-magnets q.
