Title: Improved Means for Treating Naphtha and Carburetting Water Gas to Obtain Aromatic Hydrocarbons.
Inventor: NIKIFOROFF ALEXANDER
Filed: 1907-07-30
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 17,450. Nikiforoff, A. July 30. Carburetting; water gas and producer gas; gas manufacture, materials and processes for; gas retorts. -Aromatic hydrocarbons and gas are obtained by pulverizing hydrocarbors obtained by coking naphtha by means of water gas. A water gas is obtained by blowing superheated steam into a gas produced by blowing air through heated coke or anthracite. The water gas is carburetted by pulverizing it with the previously obtained hydrocarbons in a chamber h which adjoins a decomposition chamber I. Water gas heated to 800-1000‹ C. by passage through a pipe J passes through a taper opening, where it is pulverized by hydrocarbon vapours heated to 200‹ C. by passage through a tube k. At the entrance of the retort I is a perforated annular pipe j<3>, to which heated water gas is supplied to mingle with the hydrocarbon and gas issuing from the pulverizing- chamber. A further supply of water gas enters by the pipe j<4>. The aromatic hydrocarbons formed enter a washing-apparatus S the liquid from which is distilled. Aromatic hydrocarbons mixed with illuminating gas result. The Provisional Specification also describes the coking of naphtha in metallic retorts placed in a furnace and heated only from below. The hydrocarbons produced enter a washing-apparatus and the gas and hydrocarbons boiling below 200‹ C. pass to a condenser and separator, from which the liquid hydrocarbons enter receptacles while the gas flows into collectors which detain the hydrocarbons carried away by the gas.

Abstract: 19,356. McCarty, W. F. M. Sept. 15. Metallurgical furnaces.-Relates to shaft furnaces of the kind described in Specification No. 9289, A.D. 1889, [Abridgment Class Iron &c.], for producing and refining iron and steel. The ore, together with sodium chloride and calcium chloride, is charged through the open upper end 6, Fig. 1, of the shaft, and air is supplied through tuyeres 11. At its lower end the shaft is divided into two parts, the inner shaft being supported by radial piers 10. The reduced metal flows through an opening 23 into the outer part 9 where it is supplied with superheated steam from tuyeres 13. From this outer part, the products of combustion pass through vertical flues 15 communicating by passages 16 with the interior of the upper part of the shaft. One of the vertical flues 15 is provided with a safety-valve 18. To submit the metal to a vacuum treatment, the top of the shaft may be closed by a cover 6<1> and air withdrawn through a pipe 17 to which the vertical flues are connected. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, reduced metal from the outer part at the bottom of the shaft passes through a valve-controlled passage 24 into a vacuum chamber 26. From this chamber, the gases are withdrawn by an exhausting-apparatus through a coiled pipe which is cooled by water, so that the less volatile of the vapours may be condensed.

The grids consist of radial bars so inclined that the impact of water upon them tends to augment the rotation of the grids and to increase the upward draught of air. Air inlets i are arranged at the base of the tower. The water may be circulated by a pump k. To condense steam &c., the steam is admitted by the pipe m to meet the water descending the pipe e.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Spent Oxide and like Material for the Extraction of Sulphur therefrom and Utilization of the Remaining Product.
Inventor: WILLIAMS PERCY EDWIN
IPC: C10K1/26
Filed: 1909-01-09
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 596. Williams, P. E. Jan. 9. Sulphur is extracted from the spent iron oxide of coal-gas purifiers, or from like material containing free sulphur, by treatment with strong ammoniacal liquor. The spent oxide may be removed from the purifiers, revivified in the atmosphere, and then arranged, preferably in layers, on perforated supports in a vessel containing some ammoniacal liquor, which may alternatively be contained in a separate vessel. The revivified oxide may be again converted into sulphide by treatment with a gas or liquid containing sulphuretted hydrogen. In either case, the lower part of the vessel, or the separate vessel, is charged with ammoniacal liquor; the liquor is then treated with coal or other gas rich in ammonia and sulphuretted hydrogen to produce a strong ammoniacal liquid, which is then sprayed over the sulphur-containing mass, and circulated therethrough until saturated with sulphur, the operation being repeated with fresh liquor if necessary until practically all the free sulphur is removed. The ammonium polysulphide solution is then treated to recover sulphur, for example by heating to drive off ammonia &c. and filtering to remove the sulphur. The ammonia driven off may be re-used, for which purpose it may be supplied to the stream of coal-gas entering the ammoniacal liquor. The gas, rich in ammonia, used for preparing the strong ammoniacal solution may be that leaving the exhauster used for withdrawing coal-gas from gas retorts, or the gas evolved when extracting cyanogen by means of ammonium polysulphide. The remaining material, freed from free sulphur, may be, if necessary, revivified and returned to a gas-purifier for again absorbing sulphuretted hydrogen from gases.
