Title: Improvements in treating gases for removing carbon disulphide
IPC: C10K3/00
Filed: 1923-04-28
Abstract: A metal catalyst, such as nickel, for use in the purification of gases containing hydrogen, such as coal gas, by the removal therefrom of carbon disulphide, is mixed with one or more metallic oxides in order to lower the temperature of the reaction and increase the activity of the metal.  Suitable oxides are those of thorium chromium, beryllium, or aluminium, and a temperature of 400 DEG  C. is referred to.  The activating oxides may be obtained by heating an evaporated solution of mixed salts such as the nitrates of nickel, thorium, aluminium, and beryllium, and ammonium bichromate.  Washed broken pumice is impregnated with the required solutions, dried, and heated and reduced in a stream of gas containing hydrogen.

Abstract: 878,097. Controlling reactors. AMERICAN RADIATOR & STANDARD SANITARY CORPORATION. April 14, 1958 [April 15 1957], No. 11820/57. Class 39(4). In a boiling water reactor, boiling is confined to the liquid flowing in the fuel tubes and does not occur in the moderator. Smooth control of the reactivity to match the load demand is effected separately for small, medium and large loads. For the first, an increase of boiling within the tubes produces a decrease in neutron absorption larger than the fall in moderating effect, thereby raising the reactivity. For the second the moderator volume is increased while for the third, the flow of coolant through the tubes is increased in addition to the raising of the moderator volume. As shown, the pressure vessel 11  contains the fuel elements 15 in tubes 14. The water moderator. 17 is circulated in space 12, by pump 18 and the level is controlled by valve 23. Coolant water is circulated through tubes 14 by pump 29, and the vapour generator in 14 passes through the separator 26 to the outlet 27. Rapid slow-down is effected by draining the moderator into tank 19 through valve 31. In a second embodiment, not shown, a single pump circulates the water through the fuel tubes and the moderator space. Valve 23 is controlled automatically by neutron flux measuring system the output of which is compared with a signal corresponding to the required neutron flux predicted from output temperature, pressure or flow.
