Title: Improvements in the Classification of the Metallic Constituents of Ores.
Inventor: CATTERMOLE ARTHUR EDWARD
Filed: 1902-11-28
Granted: 1903-12-28
Abstract: 26,296. Cattermole, A. E. Nov. 28. W e t separating p r oc e s s e s. - Metalliferous minerals agglomerated by oil or tar, or similar compounds, are classified by successively agitating the minerals w i t h alkaline emulsifying-agents, such as a mixture of alkaline oleate and caustic potash or soda, of successively increasing strengths, and removing each mineral separated in turn by an upward-current classifier or similar device. The Figure shows a form of apparatus applied to the separation of galena and blende. The oily granules of galena and blende from a hopper C and a solution, containing ¢ per cent. of alkaline oleate and 1¢ per cent. of caustic alkali, from a tank D are agitated by stirrers B in mixing-vessels A', A<2>, A<3>, A<4>, oil or emulsion necessary to keep the granules of suitable size being fed in from a tank E. The mixture is afterwards passed into an upwardcurrent classifier G supplied with solution from the tank D. The lighter particles of blende are discharged into a tank N, and the granules and the heavier blende particles are further treated in mixing-vessels A<5>, A<6>, and in a second classifer K, from which the galena granules are discharged into a tank L and the blende into a tank M. The solution which escapes through the filter bottoms of the tanks L, M, N is pumped into a tank H, and is then treated in a centrifugal separator P, from which the oil or oil emulsion escapes to a tank S and the solution into a tank R, the oil and solution being subsequently returned to the tanks E, D respectively. Additional particles of the mineral to be separated, or fine or slime material, may be added to the oily granules, or the oily granules may be ground. The mixing and classifying may be carried out in the same vessel. The oil may be recovered from the galena granules by moans of a strong solution of an alkaline emulsifying-agent, the separation being facilitated, if necessary, by attrition.

Title: An Improved Process and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Water-gas.
Inventor: HARRISON GEORGE
Filed: 1902-12-20
Granted: 1903-03-12
Abstract: 28,177. Harrison, G., [Soc. Internationale du Gaz d'Eau Brevets Strache]. Dec. 20. Water gas.-In the blowing- up period, the process is carried out at such a moderate temperature (about 750‹ to 1000‹ C.) as to obtain a mixture containing from 6 to 12 per cent. of carbonic acid and at least 15 per cent. of carbonic oxide, while, in the steaming period, the velocity of the in flowing steam is controlled in relation to the velocity of the water gas generated, so that, for each two volumes of water gas given off, one volume of steam is employed. Apparatus for producing the latter result is shown. Steam passes through a tube J, past a regulating-valve V, and through a narrow tube E to the generator A. Any condensed steam collects in the receiver G, and flows away. The produced water gas passes out through a scrubber B and a small opening o to the outlet pipe I. The space above the opening is connected by a tube to a gauge g, and the tube beyond the valve V is connected to a gauge D, both gauges having a common scale H. The tube E and opening o are so proportioned that, when the production of water gas is proceeding as required, the levels on the gauges are the same. When the production of gas falls off, the level of the gauges vary, and the steam valve must be altered until the levels are again uniform.

AÙrial machines with aÙrostats ; propelling and steering.- Relates to navigable aerial machines, particularly such as are described in Specification No. 24,848, A.D. 1899. An aÙrostat A supports the car B of bamboo or other material, shown in plan in Fig. 2, and has outlet valves at the bottom connected to a longitudinal pipe discharging at the rear, away from the motors. On the car are frames D, supporting motor-driven propellers C, and series of aÙroplanes E, by moving which the machine is raised or lowered. The front end of each aeroplane F, Figs. 4 and 5, is attached to a fixed wire or bar, connected to the forward side supports G of the frame H, and the rear or movable end is joined to the outer ends of the pivoted arms I, which are shorter than the aÙroplanes. By rotating the arms, the front and back edges of the aÙroplane are approximated, thus giving a curved surface under the action of the wind. Or the aÙroplanes may be made with a cissoid curvature, and have the front ends carried beyond the supports G, to which are pivoted arms carrying the back ends. The sides of the supporting-frames are covered with silk &c tn prevent lateral escape of air. A rudder K is mounted at the rear of the car, and additional lifting-power may be given by wings, preferably of cissoid curvature, mounted beneath the aÙrostat and above the frames E. To compensate for the variations of volume of the gas in the aÙrostat due to temperature changes &c., a smaller balloon is mounted within the main one, and is inflated with air by a fan, automatically controlled according to the speed of travelling. This is effected by a wind motor, having blades or cups N, which actuates a centrifugal governor 0, the sleeve and rocking arm P of which control the ignition or steam supply &c. of the fan motor, or shift the driving-belt along a pair of cone pulleys S between the motor and fan. The fan is made to rotate more quickly as the governor speed increases. Or the wind motor may be coupled directly to the inflating-fan. The propelling-motors are water-cooled, the circulation being maintained by pumps through pipes furnished with radiators, and mounted in the frames D so as to be cooled by the draught from the propellers.

A series of twin tuyÞres T, Figs. and 8, having inclined passages t<3> which diverge towards the interior of the cupola, are arranged around the cupola in connection with the wind - box B. If three such tuyÞres are used, they may be arranged at equal distances apart, or two may be placed opposite one another, in which case the blast enters the wind-box at a point opposite to the remaining tuyÞre. When four such tuyÞres are used, they are arranged at equal distances apart, as shown in Fig. 4, and a partition is arranged within the wind-box Bat a point midway between two adjacent tuyeres and opposite to the point at which the blast enters. The tuyÞre in a modified form may be provided with an additional inclined passage, as shown in Fig. 7. To charge the cupola, a layer of sticks and small coal is placed upon the inclined hearth s, which is made of foundry sand covered with plumbago. Layers of vertical pieces of wood and coke are then charged into the cupola, and the mass is ignited, the blast being started at the same time. When flames appear through the upper surface, more coke is added, and so on until sufficient heat is obtained to melt pig iron in the zone Z. Before the flames penetrate the last layer of coke, the ingots of iron are placed vertically upon it by lowering them through the charging-aperture c<3>. Coke and pig iron are then charged into the cupola until it is as full as required. Slag is drawn-off from the aperture s' and molten metal from the discharge aperture s<1>.
