Title: Apparatus and process for removal of hydrogen sulfide
Inventor: BLAND WILLAM D
IPC: B01D53/86
Filed: 1997-04-09
Granted: 1999-09-30
Abstract: An apparatus and process is provided for the removal of hydrogen sulfide from gases and for restoration of hydrogen sulfide removal capacity in nitrogen-treated carbonaceous chars which have become exhausted for hydrogen sulfide capacity when used for the removal of hydrogen sulfide from gas streams. The apparatus has a matrix of removable canisters which contain the nitrogen-treated carbonaceous chars. This process entails directing the gas containing hydrogen sulfide through the canister, washing the spent carbonaceous char with water by flushing/dynamic washing through the canister to remove the majority of the hydrogen sulfide reaction products. By the use of this process a significant proportion of the original hydrogen sulfide capacity of the nitrogen-treated carbonaceous char is recovered and the canisters can be recycled a large number of times.

Title: Method and apparatus for inserting partitions into article groups
Inventor: MONCRIEF FRANK N
IPC: B65B35/44
Filed: 1995-06-12
Granted: 1998-04-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for inserting partitions into a group of articles is disclosed. The method includes combining articles, such as beverage containers, to form an article group of predetermined configuration, including longitudinal rows of articles. The article group is conveyed toward a divider deposed in the path of travel. The divider, which includes an angled end portion that acts as a cam, separates the article subgroup into article subgroups. Once the article subgroups are transversely separated to a predetermined extent, a partition inserter places a partition between the article subgroups. The two subgroups are then recombined to affix the partition between adjacent articles. The recombined article group, including a partition, is then moved through the packaging machine to the next process step or simultaneously inserted into cartons.
