Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Glycerophosphoric Acid and its Salts.
IPC: C07F9/09
Filed: 1912-02-05
Granted: 1912-09-12
Abstract: 2882. Southall Bros. & Barclay, and Roy, C. S. Feb. 5. Glycerophosphoric acid and its salts with sodium, potassium, lithium, magnesium, calcium, barium, strontium, &c. are produced by the reaction of nascent glycerine, set free from metallic glycerolates, upon phosphoric acid or its salts. Neutral salts may be obtained by heating under normal or reduced pressure a mixture of phosphoric acid with a di-metallic glycerolate, or of a di-acid phosphate with a mono-metallic glycerolate. Acid salts result by the action of phosphoric acid upon monometallic glycerolates. Neutral double glycerophosphates are prepared by neutralizing an acid glycerophosphate with a base of a metal other than that present in the acid glycerophosphate. An acid double salt may be obtained by dissolving the oxide of a metal such as iron in a glycerine solution of an alkali glycerolate, and treating the mixture with the requisite quantity of phosphoric acid. A bismuth double salt is preferably produced by dissolving bismuth oxide in glycerine containing an alkali or alkaline-earth glycerolate, and then heating with phosphoric acid. Glycerolates of alkaline-earth metals are prepared by adding the oxide to hot glycerine; and glycerolates of the alkali metals are prepared either hy adding glycerine to a solution of sodium or potassium ethylate in alcohol. or by mixing powdered sodium or potassium hydrate, or a strong solution thereof, with glycerine, and evaporating in vacuo.

Abstract: 4412. Kronenberger, F., and Handrich, H. Feb. 21. Rotary stirrers ; moving-container apparatus; driving-mechanism; framing. - In the preparation of milkblended butter &c., gelatine is dissolved in the milk or other liquid at a high temperature, the butter or other fat added and allowed to melt, and the mixture homogenized by simultaneously cooling and agitating. This is done in an apparatus comprising an outer casing 10 containing a cooling- agent in which rotates a container 11 for the butter-product. The container 11 is held in place by a pin at the bottom and is driven by a bevel-pinion on the lid, which is secured by hooks and lugs 17 to the vessel and carries pins 21, which actuate oblique beaters 32 loosely mounted near the top on the shaft 16. The lower part of the shaft is flattened to form vanes 24 and carries at the bottom arms 25, on which are mounted beaters 26, which are driven in the opposite direction to the container by a bevelpinion 44. The beaters 26 may be recessed at the top and bottom to receive hook-shaped projections 29 on the scrapers 27, which are also held by lugs at the centre. The wheel 44 is mounted between two bridge-pieces 43, the ends of which enter slots in the uprights 39, a handle being similarly fixed at the top of the uprights. These are screwed to a frame 34 having arms 35 which fit into bayonet-slots 36 on the casing 10, and one of which may be retained by a pivoted arm 37 having a lug 38 at the end. The bevel-pinions are rotated by the wheel 45 mounted on a cranked shaft 47.
