Title: Improvements in or relating to Gas Meters.
Inventor: THORP THOMAS
Filed: 1901-10-10
Granted: 1902-10-10
Abstract: 20,214. Thorp, T. Oct. 10. Meters.-The gas to be measured passes through a cylindrical chamber a, entering through a lightly loaded non-return valve b. At the top of the chamber is mounted a turbine wheel c, with inclined vanes, and below this wheel is a baffle-plate d, the central part of which is solid and supports the wheel spindle. The spindle is preferably supported upon a hardened steel or iridium pivot which enters a jewelled recess in the end of the spindle. Between the centre part of the plate d and the chamber a are formed a number of guide-passages e, either by casting or by fitting with partitions. In the case of large meters and where a back flow of the gas may occur, a liner h<1>, provided with a flange h<4>, is adjustably fitted within the chamber, and has an external flange h<5>, with one or more perforations, fitting against the wall of the chamber. The liner may be adjusted by means or screws. The chamber is placed within a casing provided with an inlet l<1> and an outlet l<2>, suitable partitions being arranged to direct the gas through the chamber. A plate f supports the registering-mechanism, which is operated by the wheel spindle, and a casing n, provided with a glass face, encloses the same. Pillars a' may extend from the plate f to keep the chamber in position in the casing, a leather washer being interposed between the chamber and casing. In operation, should the valve b lift slightly, gas passes between the liner h<1> and the chamber wall and by way of the perforations in the flange h<5> and the passages e, and then impinges on the vanes of the wheel c and causes it to rotate. When the current is larger, the valve b is more fully opened, and the gas passes through the centre of the chamber and by way of the passages e to the wheel. A baffle-plate &c. i is preferably arranged within the chamber to permit the current to be distributed over the whole area of the channels and vanes. A meter suitable for small quantities is also described. In this case the liner may be dispensed with, and one or more holes drilled through from the valvechamber to direct small quantities or jets of gas upon the turbine wheel.

Title: A Process for Oxidising Organic Compounds.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1902-09-01
Granted: 1903-07-16
Abstract: 19,178. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Sept. 1. Alcohols; aldehydes; amines; bromo, chloro, iodo, and nitro compounds, organic; carboxylic acids; dyes, artificial; hydrocarbons; ketones; phenols; quinones; sulphonic acids.-Relates to the use of cerium oxides or salts or mixtures of oxides &c. of metals of the cerium group for oxidizing hydrocarbons and other organic compounds. Two processes are described. In one, the oxidation is effected in an electrolytic bath, the oxides &c. acting merely as carriers of oxygen and being successively oxidized and reduced, and in the other the oxygen of the oxidizing-body affects the oxidation. The oxidizing-bodies may be obtained from cerite or by heating, in air, the byeproducts from the manufacture of incandescent mantles, the presence of neodymium and praseodymium being rather advantageous. In one process, applied to the oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde, tolylphenylmethane, and anthraquinone, m-xylene to m-tolylaldehyde, o-nitrotoluene to o.nitrobenzoic acid, or to the oxidation of other hydrocarbons or their substitution derivatives, cerinm dioxide is added in small quantities to a heated mixture of toluene and sulphuric acid at a temperature of 60‹ C. and the temperature raised to 90‹ C. when all the oxide is added. The reaction is completed when all the brown cerium oxide has been converted into white sulphate. In another process, by which anthracene is oxidized to anthraquinone, naphthalene to naphthoquinone or phthalic acid, anthracene disulphonic acid to anthraquinone disulphonic acid, dichloranthracene to anthraquinone, tetrachlornaphthalene to phthalic acid, tetraalkylated diamidodiphenyl methanes to the corresponding hydrols, leuco bases of triphenylmethane dye-stuffs to the corresponding dye-stuffs &c., the substance to be oxidized is slowly run into a mixture of ceric sulphate or nitrate, or ceric ammonium nitrate, and sulphuric or other acid, the temperature of the mixture being gradually raised. Dinitro-alpha-naphthol is oxidized even in the cold. In the electrolytic process the substances are introduced into a lead-lined cell containing sulphuric acid and a small quantity of a cerium salt. The electrode is preferably surrounded by a filter cloth or other porous diaphragm. This process is applied to the oxidation of anthracene to anthraquinone, naphthalene to naphthoquinone or phthalic acid, and phenanthrene to phenanthraquinone or benzoic acid. The processes are also applicable to nitro, sulpho, oxy, halogen, &c. substitution products of hydrocarbons. According to the Provisional Specification, an alkaline solution of a cerium salt may be used. Thus, amidophenol disulphonic acid or m-phenylenediamine is oxidized in the cold, and naphthalene when heated is transformed into phthalonic and phthalic acids.
