Title: Improved Process for the Preparation of Pure Methane or of a Gaseous Mixture Rich in Methane.
Inventor: SABATIER PAUL
Filed: 1906-06-16
Granted: 1907-06-15
Abstract: 13,861. Sabatier, P. June 17, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas manufacture, materials and processes for; purifying gas.-The gases from RichÚ and other generators which are fed with wood, cellulose waste, and the like, consisting of carbonic acid, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane, are passed over copper turnings heated to 600‹ C., and are then passed over reduced nickel, cobalt, or iron, or a mixture of these bodies, at 500‹ C., the carbon monoxide being partly converted into methane and partly into carbonic acid, and some carbon being deposited on the metal. When the mass becomes inactive, steam is passed over it, thus removing the carbon and producing a mixture of carbonic acid, methane, and hydrogen, which is added to the mixture of the same substances obtained as above described. The mixture, after the addition of sufficient hydrogen, is passed over nickel, cobalt, or iron or a mixture of those substances at 250-500‹ C., thus forming methane and water. The methane may be carburetted by the addition of hydrogen and acetylene, and passing the mixture over reduced nickel, cobalt, iron, or copper at 50-180‹ C. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 states that this produces a mixture of methane, hydrogen, and " ethylic and " formic carbides," and that the mixture of hydrogen, methane, and carbonic acid obtained as above described may be washed with an alkaline solution such as soda or potash to remove the carbonic acid, the remaining mixture of methane and hydrogen being carburetted by the addition of " ethylic and formic carbides" or any other carburetting-agents. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 21,712. Moore, E. J. Oct. 1. Direct air-pressure apparatus.-In an apparatus adapted for the distribution of volatile and combustible liquids such as oil, benzene, &c. in paint, varnish, and like plants, provided with a source of liquid under pressure adapted to force the liquid into connexions having valved outlets, valved air inlets and outlets are provided on the liquid side of the valves to admit air and exhaust the liquid when the connexions are emptying, and to exhaust air when filling. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, air is exhausted through a ball-valve 47, a float-valve 40, 41 closing when the liquid reaches it. Air is admitted by a ball-valve 46, when the connexions are emptying. The apparatus may be adapted to deliver a measured quantity of liquid by a rotatable meter which closes a valve when a predetermined quantity has passed. In the construction shown in Figs. 3, 4, 5, the meter comprises a rotatable part 21 mounted eccentrically in a chamber 52 and provided with radially movable arms 23, which contact with the walls of the chamber. The meter is set to deliver a predetermined quantity by an arm 32 and scale 28, Fig. 4.
