Title: Improvements in the Obtainment of Alkaline Cyanides from Crude Materials containing Cyanogen
Inventor: CRAIG GEORGE
Filed: 1900-07-02
Granted: 1901-07-02
Abstract: 11,912. Craig, G., and Paterson, R. M. July 2. Potassium salts; sodium salts.-Cyanides of the alkalies are obtained from crude materials con. taining cyanogen, the process depending on the known fact that alkaline cyanides are soluble in liquefied ammonia. The crude cyanide cake or material is first treated with a material which will convert all the cyanogen into alkaline cyanide, and will also render the impurities insoluble in liquefied ammonia, that is, which will reduce all the cyanates and sulphocyanides to cyanides, and will combine with the sulphur. The agents which will accomplish this result on heatmg are certain metals, such as sodium, potassium, aluminium, iron, magnesium, and zinc, their alloys, their carbides, the alkaline-earth carbides or mixtures thereof, and the oxides or carbonates of the above-mentioned metals or of alkaline earths with carbon, metals, or metallic carbides. The crude cake is dried, mixed with the required materials, heated out of contact with air, cooled, and treated with liquefied ammonia. The solution is separated from the residue, and the former heated to drive off the ammonia for re-use, and obtain the cyanide. Examples are given of the treatment of materials of differing constitutions. The drying, heating, and extracting may be carried out in the apparatus described in Specification No. 22,482, A.D. 1900.

Inventor: LUCAS JAMES
Filed: 1901-05-21
Granted: 1901-11-30
Abstract: 10,492. Lucas, J. May 21. Separating grain, chaff, &c. -Relates to portable apparatus for treating corn in the sheaf, and for obtaining cut chaff and thrashed corn or ground or crushed corn. The apparatus may be arranged within a van or wagon which can be drawn. by horse or other power. The corn in the sheaf is first passed through a chaffcutter preferably of the type known as " The Giant." The riddle B of the chaffcutter is shortened to allow the machine to be fixed in the van. The cut chaff and corn pass from the chaff-cutter by means of an ordinary cup elevator D to a riddle E in connection with which is arranged a fan G. The chaff is separated by the air blast from the corn. The shoots are so arranged that the dust is separated from the chaff. The dust is deposited on the ground and the chaff is carried into sacks suspended at the side of the wagon. The corn falls down a shoot 0 into a mill of known construction adapted either to crush or grind the corn. The corn instead of being fed to the mill may be delivered whole. An inclined plate P is arranged in the feed hopper of the mill beneath the shoot 0 to separate the lighter from the heavy corn. The lighter corn is thus fed to the crushing-mill while the heavy corn drops into the grinding-mill. All the moving parts are driven by belts from the axle of the grinding-mill. The riddle E is actuated by a wooden spring connecting-rod from a cranked shaft driven by the pulley V.
