Patent GB-789495-A (GB)
Title: Separation of acid gases from coal carbonisation gases
IPC: C10K1/12
Filed: 1956-04-04
Abstract: <PICT:0789495/III/1> In an improvement of the process described in the parent Specification a mixture of steam and actifier vapours produced in the steam jet evacuator or evacuators is used to liberate hydrogen sulphide and the like from the absorbent in the actification zone. Coke-oven gas is treated in scrubber 4 with a counter-current of aqueous sodium carbonate-bicarbonate solution, the fouled solution being passed by pump 7 and line 10 to an actifier tower 12 operated under a vacuum of 4 inches mercury.  The revivified alkaline solution is passed through pump 14, cooler 15, and line 16 into the distributer 5 in scrubber 4.  Actifier vapours from tower 12 are passed through condenser 21, jet evacuator 20, intercondenser 24, jet evacuator 22, after-condenser 26, and moisture eliminator 52 to a flare stack 54.  To supply the heat required in the actifier, a portion of the actifier solution is withdrawn through line 32 and passed in indirect heat exchange with steam-actifier vapours in inter-condenser 24, and after-condenser 26.  The solution is returned through a line 38 to a trough 60 which extends across the diameter of the actifier column and is deep enough to provide a head pressure sufficient to keep the actifier solution in line 38 in the liquid state until it is returned to the trough.  Condensate from condensers 21, 24, passes directly, and through steam trap 66, respectively to a vessel 62.  Condensate is withdrawn through line 61 and either passed through line 63 to actifier 12 or discarded through line 65. Condensate from condenser 26 is collected in vessel 64 and re-circulated through line 57 to vessel 62.  Fresh alkaline solution may be added at 68, and a supplementary indirect steam heat exchanger 72 may be provided if required.  In a modification the actifier vapours leaving condenser 21 pass through a steam jet evacuator, a scrubber, and a vacuum pump before delivery into a subsequent condenser and into refining equipment for separating the constituents.  The scrubber is used to remove ammonia and also to recover heat for heating the actifier.  The steam-actifier vapour condensate from the scrubber is passed in indirect heat exchange with the solution in the base of the actifier tower, and is returned to the top of the scrubber.  In a modification oil or kerosene is injected as described in Specification 675,348, separators being provided after the condensers for separating condensed oil from condensed water vapour.  The absorbent which is revivified in the actifier tower may be water or aqueous solutions of potassium, sodium, or other alkali metal carbonates and bicarbonates, solutions of alkali metal salts of other weak acids or solutions of weak bases such as organic amines. Specification 190,115, [Class 1 (ii)], also is referred to.

Title: Coin-freed machine for automatically delivering goods
IPC: G07F11/52
Filed: 1927-04-14
Abstract: 285,683. Appel, H. April 14, 1927. Delivery of articles stored in rotary drums.- In a coin-freed goods delivering apparatus of the kind comprising a flat cylindrical container provided with a drum, which is subdivided into radial compartments and rotates on an horizontal axis, the casing A, Figs. 9 and 14, has a central pin 21 receiving the hub 22 of a cover C. The hub. 23 of the drum B fits on the hub 22 and has recesses engaged by driving pins 24 on the cover. A latch 28 controlled by a spring 29 engages a neck 30 on the hub 22 to hold the parts in assembled position. In order to take out the drum and cover for refilling, the latch is pressed back by a key engaging an incline 31 thereon. Rotation of the drum to deliver an article is normally prevented by a spring-controlled pawl engaging pins 27 on the back of the drum, there being a pin 27 for each radial compartment 26. Backward rotation is prevented by a pawl 38<a>. and a complete movement of the drum, to bring a compartment over a delivery opening in the flange of the casing A, is ensured; by a pawl 40 engaging a shelf 42. The article delivered, for instance a tablet of chocolate, is caught by a bevelled catch 44 projected by a spring through an opening in a. plate 43. When the tablet is pulled by hand, the catch recedes and releases it. Coin action, mechanical-connection.-A coin inserted through a slot 33 rests on a shaft 34. When the cover is rotated, a pin 27 on the drummoves the coin which engages one end 35 of a lerver so that the other end 35<1> releases the pawl 36 by engaging its tail. In the rotation, the coin is moved off the shelf 34 and drops to the shelf 42. Coin-slit closing-devices.-A plate 47 on the drum closes the coin slot when the drum is empty. Securing to walls and other supports; filling storage receptacles.-The casing has a bar 2, Fig. 1, which slides in a rail 1 secured to a wall the bar having a raised portion 5 engaging a slot 6 in the rail, and two pins 7 sliding within the benc over edges which serve as guides. When the bar is pushed up on to the rail, the apparatus is held in position by the engagement of a pin 10 carried by a spring 9 in a notch 11 in the bar. When the drum is to be refilled, the bar is pulled down, turned to an horizontal position and pressed in so that its upper surface engages a recess cut. in the rail which thereby holds it in filling position. If the apparatus is attached to the back of a chair or theatre seat, the bar slides downwards into the rail, and, in filling position, rests on the top of the chair or seat.
