Title: Process of Fermentation to Obtain Ammonia and Volatile Fatty Acids from Organic Nitrogenous Substances.
Inventor: EFFRONT JEAN
Filed: 1908-05-07
Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 9951. Effront, J. May 7. Acetic, butyric, and propionic acids.-Ammonia and acetic, butyric, or propionic acids are obtained by a fermentation process from organic nitrogenous substances containing amino acids or polypeptides. Waste products from alcohol distilleries or sugar factories, sewage, foul waters from wool scouring operations, and turf may thus be treated. The fermentation is effected by means of yeasts or moulds, the solution being kept alkaline, and at a temperature of 38‹-43‹ C., aluminium sulphate or other aluminium salt or calcium superphosphate is added. A culture of the yeast or mould in say, washes of molasses is first prepared under the above conditions, and this is used to treat a larger quantity of the material. In the case of turf, the turf is mixed with water, then boiled with mineral acid, then treated with lime, and then fermented with a suitable culture. When the fermentation process is complete, the ammonia is removed by distillation or by atomizing the liquid. The acetic acids &c. are then obtained by mixing the liquid with sulphuric acid and distilling. The mixture of acids may be used as a substitute for acetic acid.

Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 13,666. Widmann, R. June 10. Photographs with grained or half-tone effect; plates and films; photo-mechanical printing- surfaces.-Pictures showing a grained or halftone effect are made by using a light-sensitive surface having a surface similar to that of a mezzograph screen in which adjacent unit areas lie in different planes. Modifications in the printing action are obtained by matting or colouring the reliefs or hollows of the film or the base. The surface is illustrated by the film b on a support a.

Abstract: 4069. Hiby, W. Feb. 18. Gaseous-fuel furnaces.-In an horizontal coke oven having a sole flue through which products of combustion pass to the outlet flue when the oven is being started, the sole flue is cut off from the outlet flue during the normal operation of the oven, and is then employed to conduct air for combustion to the heating-walls. In starting the operation, the gases from the oven pass through flues d, ports e, and passages f to the heating-wall, where they meet air drawn in through flues g and ports h. The products of combustion escape through ports i and the sole flues b to the outlet flue c. When the by-products of the oven are collected by means of pipes k, the flues d, g are closed, the flue c is cut off from the sole flue and put into communication with the end of the heating-walls, and gas and air, respectively, are supplied through and around the burner tubes m. The passages around the tubes m may be closed or reduced, and the additional supply of air enters the sole flues b through inlet flues n and escapes to the heating-walls through the ports i. When several air-inlet flues o are provided, they are preferably arranged so as to be freely accessible from beneath the ovens.

Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 12,252. Sury, J. May 18. Drawings to Specification. Colour photography. - A colour-screen paper for printing from a negative taken through a screen of the same pattern, but in complementary colours, is coated and sensitized with a transparent bichromatized colloid. The colour points forming the screen are insoluble in water, and may be made by dissolving in alcohol aniline dyes and colourless resin. The screen points are net of microscopic size; the colour solution may be dried and pulverized, and the powder mixed with a minimum of fat or oil to obtain a printing ink, which is placed on the paper at the required places. After developing the print in cold water, the colour points exposed are dissolved away, and the transparent hardened colloid is then dissolved off by warm water or by carbonate or bisulphite of sodium, leaving the picture of colour points. To avoid a stippled appearance and to blend the colours, the print is treated by the dissolving substance or its vapour. Alternatively the colours for the colour points may be mixed with an easily melting substance such as wax, whereby the blending can be effected by gently heating the print. In taking the negative, a compensating- screen is used; this may be obtained by exposing a negative plate to the screen, which, on being developed, has graduated shades corresponding to the screen and just necessary to make the exposure-time for the colours uniform. Such a screen is combined in register with the colour screen for the exposure of the negative.
