Abstract: 19,849. Ges. f³r Elektro - Osmose. Sept. 19, 1913, [Convention date]. Electric endosmose ; hides and skins, non- metallic fabrics, and liquids, treating; diaphragms.-Solid bodies and liquids for impregnating them are subjected to electric current between diaphragms of such character as to retain the active constituents while preferably allowing the escape of impurities such as acids and bases. The process is applicable to tanning, dyeing, and other cases of absorption. The diaphragms 5, 6 may be of a cellulose preparation such as parchment paper or viscose. A hide to be tanned may be mounted in a frame 7, with or without additional supports, and used as a third diaphragm. In this case the intermediate compartment 2 near the cathode may be filled with tanning solution and the other intermediate compartment 3 with water; solution withdrawn from the latter compartment during working may be enriched for re-use. The anode and cathode compartments are filled with weak acid and alkali respectively, to avoid high resistance. The electrodes are preferably perforated and placed in contact with the outer diaphragms. If the tanning liquid is pure, it may be kept stirred, the hide being then freely suspended between the diaphragms. Limed hides may, before tanning, be cleaned in the same apparatus, by using them as diaphragms between water on the anode side and weak acid on the cathode side, the anode and cathode compartments being filled as above described. An electro-positive character is thus imparted to the hides, facilitating treatment by tannin. For chrome tanning, the hides are rendered electronegative,

Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Paper and to Emulsions or Sizes therefor.
Inventor: CEW JUDSON ALBERT DE
IPC: D21H17/60
Filed: 1915-09-24
Abstract: 13,588. Cew, J. A. de, and Marx, R. J. Sept. 24. Pulp, adding special substances to; sizing.- The object is to produce paper resembling waxed paper by treating the pulp in the beating-engine with a permanently emulsified compound of resin and wax. The method employed for producing the emulsion of resin and wax is, in some of its features, substantially the same as that described in Specification 2142/15, [Class 81 (i), Disinfecting &c.], for producing dilute solutions of resin soap. The resin is cooked in the usual way with sodaash, and to this is added an amount of wax representing from 15 to 75 per cent. of the weight of the resin, and the compound of resin and wax is liberated under considerable pressure into a body of water. The compound is placed in measured quantities in a closed tank, and the pressure raised by means of steam to about 60 lb. per sq. in., when the compound is caused to issue from the bottom of the tank through fine orifices into a pipe through which hot water flows, the temperature of the water being kept below 100‹C., and the flow thereof regulated so that the mixing of the compound with the water takes place as uniformly as possible and the ultimate size contains from 1 to 5 per cent. of the compound. Either mineral wax or carnauba wax may be used. The paper produced usually contains from 2 to 5 per cent. of its weight of resin and wax, and is suitable for the manufacture of waterproof bottles, cups, and other articles which have been hitherto made from resin-sized paper immersed in, or coated with, molten wax.
