Abstract: Apparatus for processing e.g. mulling, heat-setting and drying, leather articles, such as footwear and footwear components, e.g. according to the method disclosed in Specification 1,027,043, comprises a carrier wheel for the articles, mounted so that it can be rotated intermittently or continuously within a cylindrical cabinet or casing having, in its walls, a doorway, through which articles can be loaded or unloaded, and at least two apertures for admitting processing atmospheres, such as heated air, which may be moistened by live steam and/or water droplets, and cool air, which may contain water vapour and water droplets.  The carrier wheel is provided with a plurality of equally spaced radial vanes, whose edges are close to the walls of the cabinet, so as to define, between the vanes, article-receiving chambers or sectors, which are moved past said doorway and apertures when the carrier wheel is rotated.  The first aperture is spaced from the doorway by at least the spacing between two adjacent vanes, to prevent substantial loss of the first processing atmosphere through the doorway, and the second aperture is similarly spaced from the first aperture to prevent substantial loss of the second processing atmosphere through the first aperture.  The edges of the vanes may be provided with resilient sealing strips, e.g. of rubber.  In the apparatus according to Fig. 4, the cabinet 31 has a flat top and base, a doorway in the cylindrical wall and a carrier wheel with a hub 32, vanes 33 and spokes, on which leather articles 34, such as shoe uppers, are supported.  Apertures 35 are provided, in the base and top, for circulating heated, moist air through corresponding chambers or sectors of the carrier wheel. Smaller apertures 36 are provided between the apertures 35, for circulating cool moist air through the corresponding chambers or sectors.  The articles 34 carried on the rotating wheel are thus subjected alternately to mulling in heated, moist air, e.g. at 65 DEG C., and cooling in cool moist air. <PICT:1039296/C6-C7/1>

Abstract: 1394909 Removing and recovering chromium from aqueous solutions UNIVERSITE DE SHERBROOKE 29 June 1973 [7 July 1972] 31198/73 Headings C1C and C1A Chromium ions are removed from chromiumpolluted water by adding to the water a watersoluble ferric salt and causing the resulting solution and a sulphur-containing precipitating agent to diffuse through peat, the ratio of peat to precipitating agent being at least 15 : 1 by weight, whereby an insoluble complex chromium-iron sulphide is formed and is adsorbed on the peat and chromium- and iron-free water is recovered. The precipitating agent may be sodium sulphide, ammonium polysulphide or a compound R-SH where R is alkyl or phenyl. Where the precipitating agent is sodium sulphide, the chromium-polluted water may be diffused through peat which has been previously impregnated with sodium sulphide or the sodium sulphide is added to the water before diffusing through the peat. The ferric salt may be the nitrate, sulphate or chloride. In addition to the chromium ions, other metal ions present in the water, such as copper, lead, mercury, cadmium, iron and zinc ions are removed by the above process. The metal-free water may be aftertreated by aeration or treatment with ozone. Chromium oxide and other metal oxides corresponding to the metals in the polluted water are recovered by partly drying the peat containing the compex sulphide and then oxidizing the peat in a furnace. The flue gases produced are preferably pyrolysed, especially when mercury is present.

Abstract: 965,033. Packaging in films. OSCAR MAYER & CO. Inc. Aug. 15, 1962, No. 31299/62. Heading B8C. A formable film or coat separates two films of supercooled polyvinylidene chloride, laminated to form a packaging material, so that the films do not fuse completely together. This permits advantage to be taken simultaneously of mechanical strength provided by one film and oxygen impermeability provided by the other. The films may have varying admixtures of vinyl chloride, and the separating material may be a film such as polyvinylchloride or polyethylene, or a liquid such as a mineral or silicone oil, or a plasticizer. Other suitable materials are suggested in the Specification. In the form illustrated in Fig. 6 polyvinylidene chloride films 15, 16 are extruded from extruders 65, 66, 67 and are guided by rollers 69, 73, 74 to provide pockets, as indicated in section in Fig. 8, to contain an oil 18 which permits adhesion between the films but prevents the films fusing together completely. A water bath 71 maintains the films in a supercooled condition so that their property of fusing together on contact may subsequently be used in packaging. The laminates may be completely fused at their edges. In an alternative arrangement (Fig. 4A not shown) the films 15, 16 of each pair are separated by a further film extruded from a head mounted between the extruders 65, 66 and 66, 67. The films are subsequently sealed around a product in the manner described in Specification 965,032. Specifications 965,031 and 965,034 also are referred to.
