Patent GB-190922037-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Method of Producing Nitrous Gases.
Inventor: PAULING GUIDO
IPC: C01B21/20
Filed: 1909-09-27
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 22,037. Pauling, G. Sept. 27. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Nitrogen oxides; nitric acid.-Nitrous gases are prepared by heating dilute nitric acid until it dissociates into nitrogen peroxide, oxygen, and water, and then rapidly cooling to separate the water before recombination takes place. Separation is more perfect if the vapours are heated to a temperature at which nitrogen peroxide dissociates. Recombination may be prevented by adding inert gases, and these gases may effect the cooling. The process is suitable for concentrating dilute nitric acid.

Abstract: 4402. Livingston & Doughty, [North American Chemical Co.]. Feb. 22. Fibrous plastic compositions.-The filling-material for boots &c. described in Specification 17,667/06 is improved so that it may be applied in a cold state, though preferably it is used under the influence of a slight amount of heat. Glue or other gelatinous material is saturated with only enough water to facilitate its melting under heat. When thoroughly dissolved, one to two parts of glycerine are added for every part by weight of glue, and these are thoroughly mixed together and gently heated until most or all of the water is evaporated, a small proportion of stearic acid or the like being added during this process to facilitate subsequent treatment. To this mixture is then added a stiffening-agent of vegetable or mineral resins, such as " wax tailings," or the harder lightercoloured resinous residuum of petroleum, a toughening-agent such as gutta-percha, and, to lower the melting point and to provide stiffness &c., either a mineral pitch, such as the heavy residuum of petroleum, or viscous oils which unite with the resin and vegetable gums &c. Preferably, filling-material of a fibrous nature, such as shredded cork, is added. Numerous combinations and materials are specified to vary the nature of the filler, while yet retaining the chief characteristic of its capability of use when cold.
