Patent GB-191225629-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Process and Apparatus for Making Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide.
Inventor: MCCOURT CYRIL DOUGLAS
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 1912-11-08
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 25,629. McCourt, C. D., and Ellis, C. Jan. 26, [Convention date]. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are obtained by the surface combustion of gaseous or other fuel and air in contact with refractory combustionaccelerating material with subsequent separation of the gases. The gases &c. supplied are adjusted so that the products of combustion contain a minimum of free oxygen or only a trace of unconsumed fuel. The fuel and air are supplied to one or more heating-tubes 2, 7 packed with suitable granular or refractory material and contained in boilers or evaporators 1, 6; or they may be burnt in one or more diaphragm combustion units 3, which may be in a casing 4 having a mica or like window 5. The steam from one of the corresponding boiler domes 8 passes away for power purposes. The products of combustion may pass through waterheaters or economizers 10, 15 and, thus cooled, are pumped to washers 17, 16 containing water &c., wherein any contained sulphur dioxide &c. is absorbed. The washed gases then pass to a tower 19, in which the carbon dioxide is absorbed by a downwardly percolating stream of suitable absorption liquor such as an aqueous solution of potassium or sodium carbonate. The carbonate is substantially converted into bicarbonate, which is then decarbonated by the heat of combustion; for example, the liquor passes direct or through one of the economizers 15 to one of the boilers 1, wherein most of the absorbed carbon dioxide is driven off through the dome 27 of the inlet and a pipe 28, it may be to a suitable dryer 29, and then to a threestage compressor 30 for final use in compressed or liquid form. The decarbonated liquor is pumped up to a tank 20, whence it again passes to the tower 19. The decarbonated combustion products pass on under slight pressure, either direct to a converter 40 for fixing the nitrogen, or via a purifier 34 containing hot copper oxide or finely divided copper to eliminate any traces of combustible material or oxygen, respectively, that may be present. The converter 40 may be arranged for the manufacture of cyanamide. Specifications 25,808/09, 4362/10, and 11,865/10, [all in Class 51 (i), Furnaces and kilns, Combustion apparatus of], are referred to.

Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: C01B17/06
Filed: 1912-12-14
Granted: 1913-12-15
Abstract: 28,820. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm F. Bayer & Co.]. Dec. 14. Sulphur and sulphates are obtained by heating solutions of mixtures of acid and neutral sulphites, ammonium salts excepted, thus: 2NaHSO3 + Na2SO3 = 2Na2SO4 + S + H2O; or by heating with polythionates solutions containing sulphites, bisulphites, or mixtures of these compounds, with or without thiosulphates. Examples are: (1) An aqueous solution of sodium sulphite and bisulphite is heated with stirring under pressure for a few hours. (2) A solution of sodium tetrathionate, sulphite, and bisulphite is boiled, sulphur and sulphate being obtained when the reaction is complete. (3) The solution treated contains potassium tetrathionate or trithionate, or both, and sodium thiosulphate, bisulphite, and sulphite. (4) Sodium trithionate and sulphite. (5) A solution of sodium tetrathionate, sulphite, and thiosulphate is heated with stirring to about 100‹ C. for a few hours. (6) A solution of ammonium bisulphite, thiosulphate, and tetrathionate is boiled, the reaction being finished in a few hours. Specification 12,845/12 is referred to.

Filed: 1913-02-04
Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 2845. Ainsworth, J., and Ainsworth, J. T. Feb. 4. Mules.-In devices in which the belt-fork is operated by a spring or weight, the driving- helt, at the commencement of the outward run, is moved only partly over the fast pulley, until the carriage has moved a certain distance outwards, whereupon it is moved completely on to the fast pulley. The belt-fork lever f, controlled by the spring f<2>, is connected by a chain g to a lever k pivoted at k<1> to a bracket m. The lever k is adapted, when the spring f<2> has moved the belt d partly on to the fast pulley b, to come into contact with the faller shaft n or some special stop on the carriage. When the carriage has moved sufficiently outwards, the shaft n ceases to engage the lever, which can then rise and allow the spring f<2> to complete the movement of the belt-fork.
