Abstract: 21,476. Peniakoff, D. Sept. 20. Sulphuric acid. - Sulphurous acid gases obtained in various industrial processes, which owing to excessive dilution or injurious impurities cannot be used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid, are treated with an oxide of iron or aluminium or both, such as bauxite or its ferruginous residues. The sulphate mass is then distilled for the production of sulphuric acid, the oxides being used again. Various kinds of ferruginous clay or burnt pyrites may be used instead of bauxite &c. but less advantageously. These processes have been used hitherto for the treatment of the gases from pyrites burners and the like and from the calcination of iron sulphates.

Abstract: 4724. Scott, E. K. Feb. 24. Gases, treating with electric discharge.-In a furnace in which a discharge is periodically struck and blown out, particularly a furnace for fixing nitrogen, a body of magnetite is placed between the electrodes to assist striking of the arc after each interruption. The body may be electrically insulated or may form the neutral point of a polyphase system. The magnetite may be powdered and contained in an iron or other tube, or may consist of a piece of natural lodestone. In the apparatus shown, the magnetite is enclosed between two concentric tubes B<1>, B<2>, and air may be supplied through the inner tube B<1> and an outer tube C. In a modification, the tube B<2> slides in a collar of insulating and refractory material and may be advanced by a rack and pinion. In another modification, magnetite bodies are attached at the bend of each electrode. The magnetite may be mixed with refractory material such as chromite or magnesite. An arc-striking body of thin copper is referred to. The Provisional Specification mentions a tube of triangular section for use in a three-phase furnace.

Abstract: 6285. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Compagnie Franþaise Thomson - Houston]. March 13. Equalizing load on generator; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-The load on the generator of an electric supply system for rolling- mill motors is equalized by providing the motors with fly-wheels and regulators of the vibrating type adapted to maintain the supply of current to the motors substantially constant. In the arrangement shown, the coils 17, 20 of the vibrating regulator are connected across a shunt 2 in one of the supply leads of the motor 1. The core 15 of the coil 17 is undershot and is connected to a spring-controlled contact lever 13, the movements of which are damped by a dash-pot 16. The core 19 of the coil 20 is overshot and is connected to a spring-controlled contact lever 14. The contact levers 13, 14 control the energization of the winding 11 on a relay 9 provided with a constantlyenergized winding 10. The relay 9 controls a resistance 4 in the circuit of the shunt field winding 3 of the motor 1. When the winding 11 is de-energized by the action of the vibrating regulator, the armature 7 is attracted to insert the resistance 4, and when the winding 11 is energized, it counterbalances the action of the winding 10, and the armature 7 is acted upon by a spring 8 to short - circuit the resistance 4. A potential winding 18 may be added to assist in the control of the lever 13.
