Granted: 1905-06-22
Abstract: 7034. Paramore, E. C. April 3. Chlorine.-Relates to the electric treatment of chlorine to improve its bleaching properties, and consists in an improvement on the process described in Specification No. 2039, A.D. 1901. The gas is generated as usual from manganese dioxide and hydrochloric acid in a retort 1 heated by electric coils or otherwise, and passes through a washbottle 5, if necessary, and thence to a pump 8, air being exhausted from the apparatus by suitable means. From the pump the gas flows in a thin stream through the channel 9, the walls 10 of which are of dielectric material and are in contact with electrodes 19 connected to a Ruhmkorff coil, or other means for producing a high-tension spark discharge. Any liquid precipitated in the channel 9 is arrested by a trap 11, and the dry gas passes to the vessel 13 containing the solution to be bleached, and returns by the check valve 17 and tube 15 to the pump for treatment again together with fresh gas.. A modification of the apparatus is described suitable for the production of an aqueous solution of the gas so treated. The electrodes may be of carbon as in Fig. 3, or metal brushes as in Fig. 4, and may, if desired, be protected from the air.
