Patent GB-189706658-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Acetylene.
Inventor: STRODE WILLIAM WINSTANLEY
Filed: 1897-03-13
Granted: 1898-02-19
Abstract: 6658. Strode, W. W., and White, G. H. March 13. Acetylene.-The gas holder J is mounted in an annular tank H', the water in which is maintained at a constant minimum level by a feed-tank E. This tank is connected by a non-return ball valve F and a pipe D with a reservoir A, which is fitted with a ball cock B and an overflow pipe C for maintaining a constant level. A pipe K, above the normal water level in the tanks H<1>, E, and A, communicates by a siphon K<1>, Fig. 3, with the generator L, and the supply of water thereto is effected by displacement due to the descent of the holder J when gas is drawn off from it by the pipe J'. The ratio of the displacement to the descent is increased by the gradual thickening of the walls of the holder, and the supply of sufficient water to meet the demand for gas is thereby secured. The generators, of which there may be two for alternate connection with the holder, are constructed as shown in Fig. 3. They contain a cylinder M in which are piled circular trays M', for supporting the carbide. The trays are formed with gaps which are alternately disposed for the overflow of the water from tray to tray. The pipe N conducts the gas to a purifier 0, Fig. 4, in which water is maintained at a certain level by a supply pipe O<6> and a siphon O<5>, whilst above the water are supported perforated trays O<1>, O<2>, O<3>, containing sawdust, oxide of iron, and powdered charcoal. From the purifier the gas passes by the pipe J<3> to the holder.

Abstract: 18,990. Shillito, T. R., [Geigy & Co., J. R.]. Aug. 17. Dyes, artificial.-New colouring-matters, which yield upon unmordanted cotton yellow, orange, or brown shades, are obtained from para-dinitrodibenzyl-disulphonic acid, or the colouring-matter obtained by heating dinitrodibenzyl-disulphonate of sodium with caustic soda lye, by bringing either of these bodies into reaction with any of the following substances in presence of caustic soda lye :-o-, m-, or p-phenylenediamine, o-, m-, or ptoluylenediamine, benzidine, methylbenzidine, tolidine, ethoxybenzidine, dianisidine, diamidostilbene, diamidostilbene-disulpho acid, 1 :4- naphthylenediamine, o-, m-, or p-amidophenol or amidocresols, p-amidosalicylic acid, dehydrothioparatoluidine-sulphonic acid, primuline, dehydrothiometaxylidine-sulphonic acid, dehydrothio-pseudocumidine sulphonic acid, the sulphonic acids of the thiobenzenylic bases obtained by reaction of sulphur upon mixtures of aniline, p-toluidine, mxylidine, or pseudocumidine, the sulphonic acid of amidobenzenylorthoamido thiophenol, and finally aniline and its homologues, as o-, m-, andp-toluidine, xylidine, cumidine, and their nitro compounds. By a further oxidation in alkaline solution with hypochlorites, hypobromites, or persulphates, these bodies can be transformed into colouring-matters of more yellowish or greenish-yellow shade. A similar result is obtained by the alkaline oxidation of the colouring-matter obtained by heating dinitro-dibenzyl-disulphonate of sodium in watery solution with caustic soda lye. The colouring- matters obtained when p-amidophenol is used in the above process may be converted by alkylation or benzylation into products which are fast to the action of alkalies.

Abstract: 10,474. Tarrant, W. May 18. Kilns.-Relates to continuous kilns for drying and burning bricks, tiles, lime, and other articles or materials, in which the waste heat given out in cooling the charge in some of the chambers is utilized for drying green goods or material in others. Transverse arched chambers b, b are arranged in two rows on opposite sides of a double longitudinal wall containing the main smoke flue g and the waste-heat flue j. Fig. 5 shows a partial longitudinal section of the kiln, and Fig. 6 a part transverse section through the division wall d between two burning-chambers. Each chamber communicates with its neighbour by openings e, through the division walls, with the main flue by openings f, and with the waste-heat flue by passages k and l. Suitable dampers and means for closing the various openings at will are provided. The passages open into each chamber through the face of a screen or bag m, which extends from end to end of the chamber. Fuel is dropped in through openings n, n in the roof. During burning, the fuel in one chamber having been ignited, and the openings to the flue from all but the last of the chambers containing goods ready for burning having been closed, the flames and gases pass from one chamber to the next through the openings e, and finally escape through the opening f of the last chamber to the flue g. The heated air from those chambers in which the charge is cooling escapes through the openings i to the flue j, and thence through the passages k and l to the chambers containing a fresh charge to be dried.
