Granted: 1909-05-13
Abstract: 15,176. Loiseau, O. July 17. Furnaces for zinc.-Zinc is produced from oxidized ore by subjecting a mixture of the ore with carbon to the action of practically pure carbonic oxide at a high temperature. The carbonic oxide is made by passing a mixture of oxygen and carbonic acid over incandescent coke or anthracite, according to the process described in Specification No. 11,590, A.D. 1908, [Abridgment Class Acids, alkalies, &c.], and is passed directly from the generator to the reducing-chamber at about 1500‹ C. In a suitable form of apparatus, the ore is contained in a chamber 1, adapted to be run between a vessel 3 in which the carbonic oxide is generated and the condenser 4 for the zinc vapours. The vessel 3 may be mounted on wheels so that tight joints may be made at the ends of the chamber 1. Metal pipes 5 condense the last traces of zinc from the evolved gases, and the carbonic acid is collected in a hydraulic main 6. The chamber 1 may be horizontal, inclined, or vertical, and may have a rotary motion.
