Title: Process for reactivating inorganic sorbents
IPC: B01D15/08
Filed: 1960-09-13
Abstract: Zeolitic absorbents, activated carbons or activated alumina, which have been used in the separation of organic compounds and have become de-activated by the retention of organic contaminants after sorption-desorption cycles, are regenerated by passing a hydrocarbon purge stream, preferably in liquid phase, containing a C3 to C8 normal paraffins, therethrough at atmospheric or superatmospheric pressure and at a temperature below 250 DEG C. and thereafter hydrating the sorbent by contact with a water or steam-containing stream and finally dehydrating the hydrated absorbent by heating to 250 DEG -375 DEG C.  The hydration of the absorbent is preferably effected by adding steam or water to the liquid hydrocarbon purge. An example refers to the regeneration of calcium alumino-silicate molecular sieve which had been used for the separation of normal and isoparaffins from gasoline fraction and had been subjected to a series of sorption-desorption cycles.  The sorption cycle was effected in liquid phase at a temperature of 93 DEG C. under pressure of 13,6 atmospheres until normal paraffins appeared in the effluent, after which the absorbed normal paraffins were desorbed by passing liquid n-butane at 93 DEG C. and 13,6 atmospheres pressure thereby desorbing the n paraffins; on completion of the desorption cycle flow of feed stock was resumed.  When the capacity of the absorbent had declined after successive sorption-desorption cycles, the residual hydrocarbon was withdrawn from the bed which was flushed with liquid n-butane at 100 DEG C. for eight hours, followed by passage of liquid n-butane saturated with water at 110 DEG C.  Nitrogen was then passed through at 116 DEG C. and atmospheric pressure and the temperature raised to 316 DEG C.  The sieve was cooled to 116 DEG C. after which the sieves were successively treated with vaporized n-butane and then at 93 DEG C. and 13,6 atmospheres with liquid n-butane before being placed on cycle again.

Abstract: 757,349. Coating food for frying. LYONS & CO., Ltd., J. and WHITE, P. Nov. 15, 1954 [Nov. 13, 1953],- No. 31502/53. Class 28(1). In apparatus for preparing articles of food for frying, a continuous conveyer carries the articles past means which apply a uniform coating of batter to the articles as they pass. As shown, an endless wire conveyer 1 supported on guide rollers 3 and having compartments for receiving individual fish fillets, carries the fillets through a flouring section 6, a battering section 7 and a bread-crumbing section 8 and thence to a frier 5. Flour is fed from a hopper 10 by a roller 11 and an adjacent brush 12, rotating in the same direction as the roller, sprinkles the flour on to fillets passing beneath. The fillets are coated underneath with flour sprayed up by rotating rollers 15 and rotating brushes 16 from a hopper 14 within a tray 13. The floured fillets are then carried under a stream of batter issuing from an adjustable slot 24 in a tank 23 to which batter is pumped from reservoir 17 by pump 20. Pump 20 also pumps batter to a reservoir 25 which is so arranged that the batter level in it is above the level of the conveyer to coat the undersides of the fillets. An air jet 26 removes surplus batter from the fillets and the excess returns to the reservoir 17. The bread crumbs are applied in the same way as the flour except that the direction of rotation of the roller in the feed from the hopper is reversed. The fillets are then fed to the frier 5. On the return run, the conveyer is cleaned by water sprays 28 and rotary brushes 29.
