Title: Improved treatment of coal
IPC: C10B57/08
Filed: 1926-02-04
Abstract: 264,169. International Combustion Engineering Corporation, (Assignees of Runge, W., and Packard, E. A.). March 12, 1925, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Carbonizing processes.-Coal is pulverized in the presence of a current of hot gaseous medium and is conveyed through piping to a separator, being further heated while in transit, as by introducing hotter gas into the mixture, for drying, oxidizing, or otherwise treating the coal which after separation is partially carbonized or completely gasified in a retort or burnt in a furnace for steam raising &c. In one arrangement the temperature within the mill is raised to about 212‹ F. and additional air heated to about 500‹ F. or more in a preheater is introduced into the coal and air mixture on its way to a separator. Coal from the separator is fed to a carbonizing retort. Flue gases from a preheater may replace the additional air and some of the contaminated air from the separator may be supplied to the retort. In another arrangement, the coal is treated to prepare it for burning in pulverized form in a furnace. Comparatively cool flue gases are conducted to the pulverizing mill tempered or not with air and hotter flue gases are introduced into the mixture so as to maintain the temperature high enough partially to carbonize the coal while in transit to the separator, the residue being led to burners together with the preheated air. Gases leaving the separator are collected. Specifications 242,621, 242,622, 242,623, and 249,086 are referred to.

Abstract: 800,153. Electrolytic production of indium. RARE METALS FOUNDATION. Jan. 6, 1955 [Jan. 11, 1954], No. 482/55. Class 41. Indium of at least 99.99 per cent purity is electrolytically deposited on a fixed cathode in a cell having an anode consisting of an indium amalgam in which the only impurity metals are more noble than indium by applying across the cell a potential of 680 mV. measured against a IN mercurous chloride electrode. The amalgam may be produced either by dissolving impure indium directly in mercury or by electrolysis of an aqueous solution of an impure indium salt such as indium chloride buffered with hydrochloric and acetic acids using a mercury cathode, the salt concentration being maintained either by periodic addition if a graphite anode is used or by employing a soluble anode of impure indium. Electrolytically produced amalgam may be continuously fed as anode into the decomposition cell, where it is agitated, and is returned with a reduced indium content, preferably not less than 1 per cent, as cathode of the amalgamating cell. The electrolyte in the amalgam decomposition cell may be a solution of pure indium chloride in an aliphatic alcohol of not more than 4 carbon atoms, e.g. methyl or ethyl alcohol, or an aqueous solution in which case hydrolysis of the indium salt is prevented by the addition of an acid, preferably a mixture of hydrochlorics, acetic acids, or a complexing agent such as an alkali metal cyanide.

Abstract: 884,994. Automatic control systems for power stations operating in parallel. BROWNLEE, W. R. Jan. 7, 1958 [Jan. 7, 1957], No. 675/58. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XXXVI] An electrical distribution system having a number of generating plants connected thereto generally of the kind disclosed in Specifications 884,991, 884,992 and 884,993 is characterized in that a single apparatus, which includes a network analyser and a number of computing means, is located at a common point, the apparatus producing signals which are used to control the division of load by the generating plants in the most economical manner. The portion 3 of the apparatus is provided with a number of variable impedances 8-23 which simulate the various loads and transmission lines of the distribution system, the load impedances 8-14 being adjustable over a linkage 26 by movement of a control knob 4. A voltage, simulating plant No. 1, is produced by a phase-shifting device and voltage regulator shown in a unit 102, this voltage being applied to the variable impedance 8, a phase measuring device 166 and a wattmeter 154, this wattmeter also being supplied by a current transformer 124 so that a device 105 indicates the simulated load of plant No. 1. The phase of the simulated voltage of plant No. 1 is compared in the device 166 with the phase of a reference voltagetaken as that across the simulated impedance 10, the difference in the phase angles serving as in Specification 884,993 to run the motor 169 to position a contact 136 on a potentiometer 134 which is representative of the incremental transmission loss ratio, the lower branch of the self-balancing bridge circuit 101 serving to introduce the incremental generating cost ratio into the computation. The motor 147 associated with the bridge circuit 101 also controls, by means of a linkage 108, a transmitter 109 and line 100, the economic loading of plant No. 1 as indicated by a device 107. The simulated load of plant No. 1 is adjusted by comparing it with the actual load by means of a motor 111, an amplifier 160 and a potentiometer 159, the motor serving in one instance to adjust the phase-shifting device 112 as is indicated in the cases of plants Nos. 2 and 3. If, however, it is required to have plant No. 1 operated as a so-called manual plant, the adjustment of the output of plant No. 1 is made in an indirect manner by arranging that the motor 111 adjusts simultaneously all the generating cost potentiometers 106, 206, 306. Arrangements may also be provided whereby the adjustment of the load simulating impedances 8-14 by means of the linkage 26 may be made automatically. Specification 568,204 also is referred to.

Abstract: 523,626. Golf &c. balls DUNLOP RUBBER CO., Ltd.. TWISS, D. F., and NEALE, A. E. T. Jan. 11, 1939, No. 911. [Class 132 (ii)] In the manufacture of a golf or other ball, a resilient core of specific gravity greater than unity is produced by disintegrating a vulcanized composition of rubber, vulcanizing agents and powdered mineral fillers, wetting the disentegrated particles with a liquid medium sufficient to fill the interstitial spaces between the particles and enclosing the wetted material in a rubber container. For example, a rubber compound of high specific gravity formed from a vulcanized mixture of lead powder, rubber, sulphur, zinc oxide, mercapto benzthiazole and stearic acid is disintegrated and wetted with water containing 1 per cent. of commercial sodium lauryl sulphate, the resulting mixture being filled into golf ball centre bags. The small particles may be formed by cutting up a fine thread of rubber compound. In making a modified filling a vulcanized mass of lead powder and rubber composition is disintegrated, wetted with a wetting agent, covered with potassium formate solution, boiled gently and the excess of liquid decanted. In a further preparation, lead powder is mixed into a paste with water containing 2 per cent. of sodium lauryl sulphate and the mixture is added to latex. Solutions of sodium silicate and ammonium alum are stirred in until the compounded latex settles out in the form of discrete particles of coagulate. The particles are filtered off, dried and vulcanized. The vulcanized particles are treated with potassium formate solution, boiled gently and decanted.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To bring a valve automatically to safe side under high temperature, by providing a spring in one chamber of pneumatic cylinder for operating a fire- safe valve while providing a plug body fusable under high temperature between the other chamber and pneumatic pressure chamber. CONSTITUTION:Conduits 91 and 92 are blocked under normal state to function the air from an air pressure source 8 as the pilot pressure where the air pressure will enter into an air pressure cylinder 1 to move a piston 2 in solid arrow direction against a spring 6 thus to rotate the shaft 4 of fire-safe valve counter- clockwise to normal position. Upon occurrence of fire, a plug body 10 will fuse to communicate between the conduits 91 and 92 while simultaneously opened to the atmospheric air and the chamber at the left side of piston 2 is opened to the atmospheric air to move the piston 2 automatically to the dotted arrow direction through spring 6 force thus to rotate the shaft 4 counter-clockwise and to function the valve to safe side. Since a changeover valve will block the conduit 9, droppage of line pressure can be prevented.
