Title: Improvements in or relating to the recovery of dimethylformamide from coagulation baths used in the wet spinning of polyacrylonitrile
IPC: B01J39/04
Filed: 1966-01-13
Abstract: 1,123,984. Polyacrylonitrile spinning. SNIA VISCOSA SOC. NAZIONALE INDUSTRIA APPLICAZIONI VISCOSA S.p.A. 13 Jan., 1966 [23 Jan., 1965], No. 1626/66. Addition to 1,016,505. Heading B5B. The process of the parent Specification (wherein dimethylformamide is recovered from coagulation baths used in wet-spinning polyacrylonitrile and comprising dimethylformamide and concentrated aqueous solutions of potassium formate or acetate by extracting the dimethylformamide from the bath with monomeric acrylonitrile and the extract is purified by passing it through animal charcoal or an ion exchange resin) is modified in that the extract is treated with two types of ion-exchange resins used either successively or concurrently. The resins comprise cationic resins consisting of a sulphonic group-containing styrene and divinylbenzene copolymers and anionic resins which contain quaternary ammonium in the hydrate form or aliphatic amines. The extract may be passed through a single bed comprising both types of resin. The ion exchange resins used remove from the acrylonitrile-dimethylformamide mixture substantially all the impurities which adversely affect the polymerization of the monoacrylonitrile in the presence of dimethylformamide and the mixture may, therefore, be used (after the addition of an appropriate additional proportion of monoacrylonitrile) for the preparation of further quantities of polyacrylonitrile.

Title: Improvements in centrifugal separators
IPC: B04B1/18
Filed: 1933-01-18
Abstract: 400,809. Centrifugal separators. NYROP, A., 18, Hans Jensensvej, Hellerup, Denmark. Jan. 18, 1933, No. 1684. [Class 23.] In a centrifugal separator from which sludge is intermittently discharged through peripheral openings, the packing of the controlling axiallymoving piston is made of hard resilient material which is forced by centrifugal force against the adjacent surface to make a fluid tight joint. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the sludge outlets 6 are opened and closed by the movement of a ring piston 16, which is normally held in its raised position to close the outlets by the pressure of liquid supplied to the chamber 15 through the pipe 33 and the passage 25. When it is desired to discharge sludge, the supply through pipe 33 is cut off and liquid is supplied through pipe 32 and passage 24 to operate the valve 27. This allows the liquid from the chamber 15 to pass through the passage 29, and the pressure of the liquid undergoing treatment in the separator causes the piston 16 to drop. The lower edge of the piston is slotted to leave an outer flexible lip 18 which may be loaded by lead or other heavy material 17, so that during rotation of the bowl the lip is forced against the adjacent surface of the liner 19. The inner surface of the piston is packed by a ring 20 which may be loaded with lead 21. In a modification the piston forms. the bottom of the bowl extending from the liner 19 to the central hub. In another modification the arrangement is applied to a multiple form of separator as shown in Fig. 3. The bowl is partitioned by an intermediate member 37 which has a long central hub 37<1> while its outer rim 42 may be solid as shown on the left hand side of the Figure, or may be recessed as shown on the right. A ring piston 16 is employed to control the sludge outlets 6, and a second piston 36, with a weight-loaded packing ring 60, which makes contact with the intermediate member 37. The movements of the pistons are obtained by means of additional liquid as shown in Fig. 1. The bowl contains inner chambers 43, 44 with disc insets 8<1>, 8 and an outer chamber 45. The piston 36 can be operated so that the tight joints between the member 37, and the upper part of the bowl and the piston are broken, thus permitting heavy separated material to pass into the chamber 45 independently of the discharge from the outlets 6. Specification 312,997, [Class 23, Centrifugal machines &c.], is referred to.

Filed: 1957-01-17
Abstract: 850,017. Carburetters. RUDKIN & RILEY Ltd. April 2, 1958 [Jan. 17, 1957], No. 1787/57. Class 7(3). A carburetter comprises an air intake aperture 2, a fuel nozzle 15 and a primary air inlet 19. The air flows through the induction passage in a direction away from the fuel nozzle whereby fuel is drawn into the induction passage and the primary air inlet is adapted to be opened so as to permit the entrance of a regulated amount of primary air to vary the degree of vacuum in the induction passage and thus control the discharge of fuel from the nozzle. As shown the fuel nozzle 10 is fed from a float chamber 8 through a passage 9. Primary air enters through the holes shown (plate 19) or through a gauze which may replace the plate 19. The valve 18 may be operable from the acceleration pedal in the case of a vehicle engine. Thus in one arrangement (not shown) the conventional arm for actuating the main throttle valve 6 and an arm for similarly actuating the auxiliary butterfly or equivalent valve may be so interlinked that they are both operated from the accelerator pedal. Air enters the induction passage 1 by way of the inlet 2 and may be controlled by a butterfly valve (not shown). The air inlet hole 12 may be controlled by any suitable valve.

Filed: 1946-01-21
Abstract: 606,867. Filling-machines. HARRIS, E. Jan. 21, 1946, No. 2050. [Class 94(i)] A method of charging granular materials into containers consists in causing a freely flowing stream of material to impinge on a baffle so as to expand in cross-section, and then to fall through successive scattering means, thereby being spread uniformly over and passing uniformly through the scattering means before falling into the container. Material is contained in a hopper having a false bottom of wire mesh 6 and fixed to the top plate 11 of a column structure 1 adjustable in height by rods 2 and having means 4 to locate a container. The material falls through a nozzle on to a conical baffle 14 mounted on an annulus 12 supported by, and adjustable in height by means of, screw-threaded rods 15 passing through apertures in the plate 11 and secured to an adjusting collar 16 surrounding the funnel of the hopper. The baffle is laterally adjustable by turning screws passing through the collar 16 and abutting against a member 9 which is secured to the funnel, nozzle, and plate 11. The first scattering means consists of a diaphragm 23 adjustable in height by screwed rods 24. Further diaphragms 27, 28 are provided, and inspection apertures 29, 30. A concave or convex surface of the material in the container'may be obtained by raising or lowering the baffle 14. The baffle may be adjusted vertically and laterally so that the zone of impingement of the stream on the scattering means, which is an annular zone, is concentric with the axis thereof and midway between the centre and periphery of the first diaphragm, which gives the most uniform distribution. The cross-section of the column structure and of the scattering means should be similar to that of the containers', The diaphragms may be of gauze which may comprise wires located in a common plane, or in slightly separated parallel planes, the wires in each pair of parallel planes being mutually at right angles. According to the Provisional Specification four wire screens are used, the mesh in the odd gauzes being at 45 degrees to that in the even gauzes. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the diaphragms 27, 28 are mounted as a unit on the structure 1 so as to be readily removable therefrom, while the baffle 14 is secured to the upper surface of the diaphragm 23, and is laterally adjustable by means of screws which displace a flanged cover-plate carrying the diaphragm; the plate 11 is held by fixing bolts mounted in brackets on the wall of the structure 1.
