Abstract: 24,748. Rigby, T., and Testrup, N. Nov. 7. Peat, p r e p a r i n g.- Wet - carbonized peat, obtained as described in Specification 10,834/03, is dispersed in a finely divided condition in hot flue gases from the furnace of the carbonizer or the like and remains dispersed until dried. The peat, treated in a filter press so that 70 per cent of water remains, is pulverized and dispersed in flue gases such as those traversing the rotary drier described in Specification 16,958/11, and carried along by them until dried, whereupon it may be delivered into a cyclone or other depositing-device into which the drying-duct leads, and which may be placed over the fire-proof storage chamber. In the apparatus shown, the disintegrated peat is fed by a hopper, set near the filter presses and provided with baffles b and a rotary valve c, to a duct e through which a fan d draws the gases. The duct is forked, and cyclones f are provided on the arms g of the fork, delivering the peat to a hopper h and the gases to ducts i, j. The peat so obtained may be dried in Schultze driers. such as are described in Specification 12,013/10, [Class 55(i), Coking &c.], and briquetted, or may be briquetted directly, or may be consolidated for use in an ammonia-recovery gas-producer, being in this case mixed with tar from the producer. The hopper h is set in the neighbourhood where the peat is next to be treated. The material deposited from one stream of gas may be further dried and separated in other streams. The gases, which may be derived from the carbonizer or boiler furnace or an internal-combustion engine of the installation, may be supplemented by gas derived from an independent furnace. Specification 4684/11 is referred to.

Abstract: 411. Paterson, W. March 27. Discharging liquid in connexion with filters and like apparatus.-In order that filtration may start gradually after cleansing of a filterbed and that the flow may never be excessive, the outlet valve a is controlled both by the level of liquid above the bed and by the level in the discharge box c. As shown, the valve a is connected to a float d in the box e, and, by a stem f having a projection g engaging with a slot-like container h at the end of a link i, to the arm k of a float b above the filter c. The valve is closed by the fall of the float b with the liquid-level above the filter or by the rise of the float d above a level corresponding to a maximum outflow over a weir l. When a battery of filters is employed, it is desirable to equalize the discharge from the several filters, and for this purpose adjustable connexions such as right and left handed screws m may be provided.

Abstract: 18,597. Guillet, O. April 2, [Convention date]. Purifying processes; materials for purifying. -A process for the removal of sulphur compounds, particularly carbon bisulphide, from gas consists in heating the gas to a temperature between 80‹ and 200‹ C. in the presence of water and a substance capable of absorbing sulphuretted hydrogen, for example iron oxide. This process is used after the usual purification with iron oxide; but if air be mixed with the gas for treatment with the hot oxide, the whole of the sulphur both as sulphuretted hydrogen and carbon bisulphide may be removed in one operation. It is advisable in the latter case to wash the gas, leaving the purifier in some alkaline solution. The gas entering the purifier may be heated by the heat of the gases leaving the purifier in a heat-exchange device, and two hot purifiers used alternately may be employed.
