Title: Process and Apparatus for Utilizing the Waste of Celluloid and similar substances.
Inventor: GARBIN ERNESTO
Filed: 1905-05-16
Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 10,319. Garbin, E., GÚrard, G., and GÚrard, C. May 16. Cork, artificial.- Relates to a process and apparatus for utilizing the waste of celluloid and other bodies con taining nitro-cellulose, by regenerating the camphor, nitric acid, celulose, naphthalene, colouring - matters, fatty acids, &c. Excluding the preliminary washing with an alkaline solution to remove grease, heavy matter such as sand, and light. matter such as wood, the process comprises two operations, namely : a dry or distillation treatment preferably in the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, and a wet treatment with alkali &c., for which the apparatus shown in Figs. 3 and 5 is preferred, a portion of the product from the first operation being added at a certain stage to the wet process bath. Each of the small cylinders 1, Fig. 1, provided with a stopper at one end, perforations at the other, and a side hole 2, is fitted into one of the distillation tubes 5 leading through a refrigerator 6 to a sloping cross-tube running into a receiver. The cylinder 1 is charged with celluloid, and then a hot stopper 10 is plunged into it through a hole 9 in the outer tube. The products of combustion include camphor, which is partly developed as an incrustation, while a part collects with the nitric acid. The alkali treatment is carried out in a tank 20, Fig. 5, which communicates with a sodium-bisulphite tank 22, and this in its turn with a water condenser 24. Liquid is introduced into the various tanks by cocks 26, and the tank 20 is charged with celluloid &c. waste by twin tubes 28, 29 and the distributor, Fig. 3. The strong soda or potash forms nitrate, cellulose, colouring- matters, and soaps, which remain in the bath, while camphor and naphthalene are driven by steam from the distributor through the bath 22, wherein acetone and aldehydes are removed, into the water in the tank 24. When the liquid in the tank 20 reaches a density of 1À45, the acid liquid from the dry process is introduced, whereby the soda is neutralized, and after a further passage of steam the operation is completed, and the various products are separated by the usual methods. The distributor, Fig. 3, consists of a rotating drum 32, perforated by four holes corresponding with the twin tubes 28, 29. A quadrant is cut out of the stationary cover-plate 34 to allow of the charging of one of the holes in the drum with waste. When the drum has rotated a quarter of a revolution, the steam-inlet valve 44 is opened by a cam 46, while the valve 45 is in the opposite phase. For waste such as veloril, artificial silk, artificial cork, collodion, and pyroxylin, which do not contain camphor, simple treatment with alkali only is necessary, and in the case of explosives the temperature is kept below 60‹ and the charge is introduced by hand.
