Title: Improvements relating to the Recovery of Oxides of Nitrogen Diluted with Air or Inert Gases, and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: NAVILLE ALOYS ADRIEN
Filed: 1908-03-21
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 6366. Naville, A. A., Guye, P. A., and Guye, C. E. March 22, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Nitric acid.-In the recovery of nitrogen oxides diluted with air or oxygen, in the form of nitric acid, the gases are absorbed in sulphuric acid containing more or less nitrosulphonic acid, the process being so arranged that the gases contain sufficient water to combine with the nitrogen present capable of forming nitric acid, so that on the removal of the nitric acid, the nitrous sulphuric acid may regain its original absorbing power, and so that the absorption is of limited duration to remove only the higher oxides, the unabsorbed nitric acid being subjected to an oxidizing action. The absorption and oxidation are repeated until all the nitrogen oxides have been removed. The absorption may be carried out under pressure. Oxidation may be effected by compression, by heating, by catalytic agents, such as platinized pumice, oxides of iron, or magnesia, or by a combination of these methods. The nitric acid may be removed by distillation, for example under reduced pressure, the nitrous gases given off during its removal being returned to the absorption apparatus. The moisture in the gases may be adjusted in a drying- apparatus employing a desiccating-agent having an appropriate tension of aqueous vapour, or in a refrigerator, or by compression, or by a combination of these methods ; or water may be added by introducing steam or water into the gases. The absorbers employed may be washing-bottles ; tanks in series ; towers packed with baffle-plates, porous material, plates, &c. ; rain-chambers : rotary barrels with buckets ; or stationary barrels with internal stirrers. In the plant shown, the gases pass from the drying-chamber D into the tower A', in which the higher oxides are absorbed, the unabsorbed gases being oxidized by the compressor P<1>. The gases pass into the second absorber A<2>, and afterwards pass into the compressor P<2> and absorber A<3>. The absorbing-acid passes through the apparatus in a reverse direction to the gases, and is run from the tower A' into a still C for recovering the nitric acid, the nitrous sulphuric acid being kept in the still a definite time by a suitable arrangement of baffles. The nitric acid is condensed in the worm S. and the nitrous gases return through connexions t<1> to the first absorber A'. The acid from the still is returned to the last absorber A<3>. The pistons of the compressors may have a common piston-rod, and a heat-interchanger may be arranged between the points d<2> and c'. As a modification, rotary cylinders provided with buckets and charged with nitrous sulphuric acid, may be used, the gases being passed in under pressure.

Abstract: 4267. Schenk, N. Feb. 21. Spring wheels with continuous outer rigid ring and pneumatic cushions. - A pneumatic cushion seated on the hub member bears at its periphery on bearing - members or rollers running freely on the interior of the rim member. An automatic locking-device comes into operation when the cushion is deflated. To the sides of the hub 1, Fig. 4, are bolted spaced plates 3,4 in which are guided extensions of the rim member. This consists of two parts 6, 7, Fig. 2, formed with radial grooved members which are filled with wooden spokes 8 fitted into a wooden ring 9. The rim is screwed to the wooden spokes. Running on a metal track 17 inside the ring 9 is a series of concave rollers 18 connected by rings 11 and supporting the cushion 12. The rim member 7 is formed with a flange to which a covering-cap is screwed. The member 6, Fig. 4, is formed with a flange 13 which, along with a flange 14 on the inner plate 4, holds a flexible cover 15 fitted at its edges with split rings and locked by additional spring rings 16. The locking-device consists of two series of blocks 19, Fig. 5, normally held in apertures in the inner and outer plates 3. Rods passing through the hub engage the blocks 16 directly at one end, and at their other ends press oh L-shaped pins fitted to the blocks. Surrounding and engaging underneath the pins is a split spring ring 20, Fig. 5, the overlapping ends of which are pressed down by. a rod 21 pivoted to a lever 22, Fig. 4, projecting through the plata 3. The other end of the lever is pivoted to a rod 23 with a bent end. When the cushion becomes deflated, the extension of the rim part 7 drops, and, by engaging the rod 22, causes the rod 21 to lift off the ends of the spring, which then flies away from the pins. The two series of blocks are then forced, by means of springs on the rods 19, underneath the edges of the rim extensions. In the form shown, the outer part is driven by a sprocket-wheel 24, and is rotatively connected to the inner part by means of studs on the rim extensions, which engage radial grooves in the plates 3, 4. Screwed to the flange-extension carrying the sprocket is a plate which serves as a braking-member. At the sides of the plate 25 are axially-movable plates bolted together on a squared part of the axle through a cylindrical spacing-block 27. Between the central plate and.the outer plate 26 are two plates.28 sliding on the block 27 and formed with inclined teeth in engagement. A hand-lever 29 is pivoted on a pin secured to one' plate 28, and on a second pin 30 fixed in the outer plate but moving in slots in the two plates 28. A pin carried by the other plate 28 is engaged by the lever, which, when pulled, causes the plates 28 to separate, and the central plate to be clamped between one plate 28 and the inner axially-movable plate.
