Title: Process for Producing Cyanogen Compounds and the like.
Inventor: HEYS WILLIAM GEORGE
IPC: C01C3/00
Filed: 1910-09-17
Granted: 1911-11-17
Abstract: 21,628. Heys, W. G. Sept. 17. Metals and alloys, obtaining; fused electrolytes, apparatus for; electrolytes, circulating. -For the production of alkali cyanamides and cyanides by a non-electrolytic method use is made of a reactive metal, obtained electrolytically, which has greater affinity for carbon and nitrogen than has the alkali metal, but the cyanamide and cyanide of which are decomposed by the alkali metal. Such metals are barium, lithium, calcium, strontium, manganese, and aluminium. An alloy of barium and sodium, for example, with lead or other heavy metal is first produced by electrolysis of fused mixed barium and sodium chlorides in a chamber 4, having anodes 8, preferably of carbon, and a cathode of molten lead or the like. The salts are admitted as required through a hopper 24, and gas evolved is led away through a flue 10. The alloy is pumped from the vessel 4 to a second chamber 5 into which nitrogenous and carbonaceous substances are fed, and in which the desired product is obtained non-electrically. When sufficient barium has been produced to react readily with the carbon, it is unnecessary to supply more barium chloride to the electrolyte, as the barium after being released from combination by the sodium, combines with a further quantity of carbon and nitrogen, and so on.

Filed: 1911-09-23
Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 21,036. Bolton, C. Sept. 23. Mordanting and fixing; single-bath mordanting processes.-Bleaching-powder, alone or mixed with acids or alkalies, chlorine, hypochlorous acids, or hypochlorites is used as an assistant in dye-baths, particularly in single baths, increasing the affinity of the fibre, particularly of wool, for mordants and dyes. When bleaching-powder and an acid 'are used, the mixing is preferably done in the dye-bath. Suitable acids to use are hydrochloric, acetic, sulphuric, and oxalic. Soda is not a suitable alkali in wool-dyeing, ammonia being preferable. (1) To a cream of bleaching-powder and water ammonia is added in slight excess, and, the lime having precipitated, the clear liquor is added to the dye-bath. There are then entered the wool, sodium bichromate, anthracene chromate brown EB, anthracene yellow C, and anthracene chromate grey G. After boiling, a deep olive brown dyeing is obtained without scroop or. tendering of the goods. (2) The goods having been entered in warm water there are added bleaching-powder, chrome, ammonia, and anthracene chromate brown ER. On raising the temperature with steam and adding acetic and hydrochloric acids the liquor clears and gives a good dyeing. Other suitable dyes for baths containing chrome, chromic and acetic acids, and one or more of the assistants, are anthracene chromate green B, grey G, and brown WS, and anthracene yellow BN and chromate blue black B. Reference is made to the aftertreatment of primuline yellow dyed cotton with bleaching-powder for the deepening of shade and improvement of fastness. The Provisional Specification also mentions the use of the following dyes metachrome olive brown, metachrome brown, alizarin bordeaux. alizarin orange, and fustic, particularly, in the last case, with copper sulphate in place of chrome.
