Patent GB-690718-A (GB)
Title: Process for obtaining reaction mixtures comprising olefin and oxygen
IPC: C07C11/04
Filed: 1951-05-01
Abstract: Gases containing olefines, hydrogen, and other hydrocarbons, such as cracking gases, are treated with a solvent such as a hydrocarbon, alcohol, ketone, ester, glycol ether or water, advantageously kerosene, at a temperature of 5-40 DEG  C., for example room temperature, to absorb the olefins which are then stripped at substantially the same temperature with an oxygen-containing gas. The fuel gas and kerosene may be passed in counter-current in a packed tower to absorb 80-99 per cent of the olefin.  Methane and hydrogen absorbed may be removed by treating the rich solvent with a stream of inert gas such as nitrogen, generally in an amount of 10 per cent by volume of the feed gas.  The olefin is then stripped with a current of air to give an olefin-air mixture for oxidation to olefin oxide as described in Specification 687,243.  7-12 vols. of air per vol. of ethylene are required for the oxidation which is effected at 150-200 p.s.i.g.  The stripper is preferably operated at this pressure.  The partial pressure of ethylene in the gases from the stripper will be about 14-31 p.s.i., and the pressure of the feed gas is adjusted to give an initial ethylene partial pressure higher than this.  A prior depropanizing operation may be effected.  A small amount of water may be added to the solvent, and the gas from the stripper diluted with recycle gas from the oxidation to avoid fire risk.  In examples, a cracked ethane or petroleum gas is purified, C3 and heavier scrubbed out, if desired, and the C2 and lighter treated with absorber oil such as kerosene at 40 DEG  C. and 200 p.s.i.g., a stream of nitrogen being fed to the base of the absorber if required to eliminate hydrogen.  Scrubbing with air removes the ethylene.

Abstract: 1,208,855. Hydraulic motor control circuits. INDUSTRIEWERKE KARL-MARX-STADT VEB. Feb.27, 1969 No.10546/69. Heading F1P. Hydraulic pistons 9<SP>1</SP> 10' coupled by racks 20, 21 and a pinion 22 and moved by pressure fluid admitted to both sides of the piston (and thus by the force differential produced) are controlled by hydraulic relays 2, 5 and 6 respectively placing pump 1 into operative or neutral position, applying or withholding hydraulic fluid and reversing motions . Each relay is under control of an associated electro-mechanical valve 14, 13, 12 controlling pressure fluid from operating pumps 11 in response to signals from limit switches 23-26. In operations with pump 11 running pressure builds up to open check valve 17 and drive the pump relay to the right. Pressure fluid is supplied via 5 and 6 to pistons 9<SP>1</SP> which moves upwardly. Cylinder 10 is vented as shown, near the end of the stroke limit switch 25 activates valve 14 to shut down pump 1 and the system is then hydraulically braked. Limit switch 26 now operated valve 13 and control 5 isolates the cylinder 9 thus locking it. To initiate reverse movement valves 12, 13 and 14 are set to positions II and reverse relay 6 and control relay 5 are actuated and the pump relay 2 follows thus control pressure from pump 11 exceeds the setting of check valve 17. On the reverse stroke (right hand pistons upwards) limit switches 23, 24 take over from 26, 25 respectively. In a modification control and reverse relays are combined into a three way valve (27) and similarly electromechanical control valves 13, 14 are combined (30).
