Title: A process for the alkylation of isoparaffin hydrocarbons with olefin hydrocarbons in the liquid phase
IPC: B01J19/18
Filed: 1944-10-03
Abstract: Isoparaffins are alkylated with olefins in the liquid phase and in the presence of an alkylation catalyst by subjecting all or part of the isoparaffins mixed with the catalyst to a single uninterrupted unidirectional flow through an elongated reaction zone under sufficient pressure to prevent any appreciable vaporization, subjecting to violent mechanical agitation and to cooling over substantially the whole length of the zone to provide a turbulent flow of materials lengthwise thereof, and delivering into the flowing mass substantially all of the olefins, free from catalyst but with any remaining part of the isoparaffins, as a multiplicity of fine streams distributed at closely spaced intervals along a substantial length of said zone, each stream including only a small fraction of the total olefin delivered at any time.  The reactants may be cooled before entering the reaction zone.  The acid and hydrocarbons should be proportioned to form an emulsion wherein the acid forms the continuous phase. The products pass to a separating chamber from which unreacted materials and acid may be separately recycled. Suitable apparatus for the reaction is described in Specification 590,559, [Group II].  With a chamber 10 ft. long, 23 ins. diameter, with ports of 5/64 in. or less spaced along its length but stopping some distance from its ends, and having an eccentrically mounted agitator whose peripheral speed is 30 ft./sec., suitable operation conditions are: acid feed 700 gals./hr., hydrocarbons-isoparaffin: olefin 4 : 1-400 gals./hr., temperature 50 DEG  F., pressure 100 p.s.i.

IPC: F02M13/08
Filed: 1929-06-25
Abstract: 314,798. Gribojedoff, N. July 2, 1928, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors. - The combustible portion of engine exhaust gases is separated by centrifugal action from the incombustible and supplied to a carburettor, the resulting mixture being diluted with filtered air in the engine cylinder. The gases enter a casing 1 containing an engine-driven impeller 2 by rotation of which the heavier and incombustible portion is thrown into an outer layer, the combustible portion forming an inner layer and passing to a carburettor 5. Oil particles, projected on to the wall at 7, and impurities collect at the bottom of the casing and may be removed through an outlet 3. The incombustible portion of the gases escapes to the atmosphere at 4. The carburettor, Fig. 2, comprises a casing 8 with a fuel-inlet tube 9 located axially therein. Fitting over the tube 9 is a sleeve 10 rotatable by an arm 11, and carrying at its upper end a cap 12, rows of apertures 13a, 13<b> in which are adapted to register more or less with apertures 15 in a cap 14 on tube 9, and with apertures 16 in the base of a choke tube 17. By rotating the sleeve 10, the relative amounts of gas which flow through and around the choke tube can be varied, but the total amount remains constant. The coned part of the cap 14 is grooved to distribute the fuel fanwise, and forms a seat for a coned fuel valve 19 which is lifted slightly when suction occurs by a vaned member 21 acting through a spring 20. The member 21 is carried by a tube 22 pivoting at its upper end on a screw 24, and the valve is guided at its lower end by a spigot 25. Air to complete the mixture is added in the cylinder or the induction pipe and is admitted and controlled by a device 29, Fig. 1, somewhat resembling the carburettor.
