Filed: 1975-03-27
Abstract: 1498114 Treatment of organic textile materials CIBA-GEIGY AG 27 March 1975 [29 March 1974] 13018/75 Headings D1B and DIP  A process for treating organic textile material comprises (a) applying to the material, in a ratio of goods (in Kg) to liquor (in litres) of at most 1:2, an aqueous dispersion or solution of a processing agent having affinity for the fibres and (b) treating the material from step (a) with saturated steam below the absorption temperature of the processing agent to increase the proportion of liquor in relation to goods and at such a rate that the processing agent becomes uniformly dispersed on the material prior to any fixing step. The fixation of the processing agent may then be effected. Preferably the aqueous solution or dispersion of the processing agent is applied in a ratio of goods to liquor of 1:0.3 to 1:2, the proportion of liquor in relation to goods preferably being increased by treatment with saturated steam to 1.2 to 4 times its original value provided that the ratio of goods to liquor does not exceed 1:5. Steam treatment may be carried out for 5 to 60 mins in the absence of surfaceactive agents. Polyester, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile and cotton or mixtures thereof may be treated at room temperature in closed or pressure tight plants with dyestuffs, optical brighteners, softening agents, dirt-repellants, moth-proofing, water-proofing, fire-proofing, antistatic, shrink-proofing, desizing, creaseproofing and bleaching agents.

Abstract: 482,076. Electromagnetic relays. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN. May 8, 1937, No. 13227. Convention date, May 11, 1936. [Class 38 (v)] [Also in Group XXXV] A load 1, such as a vibrating rectifier, is connected to mains 3 by a switch 2 so as to include in circuit a resistance 4 which is arranged in proximity to a bimetallic strip 6 which after an interval bends downwards and breaks contact with a spring 7 and thus removes a short circuit from a low resistance coil 5 which then causes spring 7 to engage a spring 8. This short circuits the resistance 4 and allows strip 6 to cool, the coil 5 remaining energized until switch 2 is opened. In a modification, two resistances are connected in succession in such a way as to prevent direct connection of the load in case the switch 2 is opened and then closed before the strip 6 has cooled.

Title: Process for the recovery of tin from stanniferous materials such as stanniferous scrap metal
IPC: C22B25/06
Filed: 1935-05-07
Abstract: In recovering tin from stanniferous materials, the materials are treated with a caustic alkali from which a solid alkali metal stannate is produced; the stannate is then furnaced in a reducing atmosphere containing carbondioxide so that metallic tin and an alkali metal carbonate are produced.  The temperature employed is within the range 600--1000 DEG  C and may be 650 DEG  C. to produce sintering or about 850 DEG  C. to produce fusion.  In the former case the carbonate is leached from the sintered product and the tin is burnt to the oxide or worked into ingots in a reducing-atmosphere; in the latter case, the carbonate is separated as a slag.  The carbonate in either case is causticized and the caustic alkali so produced is employed cyclically.  The following reducing agents may be employed:--pulverized carbon, petroleum, tar, asphalt, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, gaseous hydrocarbons, coal-gas, coke-oven gas, cracking-still gases, oil gas, natural gas and producer gas together with from 2--5 per cent of carbon dioxide which may be wholly or partly formed from the reacting mixture. Before reduction the stannate may be dissolved to precipitate insoluble oxides, and lead, antimony and arsenic are precipitated as sulphides for instance by the addition of sodium sulphide.ALSO:In recovering tin from stanniferous materials, the materials are treated with a caustic alkali from which a solid alkali metal stannate is produced; the stannate is then furnaced in a reducing atmosphere containing carbon-dioxide so that metallic tin and an alkali metal carbonate are produced.
