Abstract: 3666. Ornstein, G. Feb. 14, 1913, [Convention date]. Liquids, purifying.-In sterilizing water, sewage, &c. by chlorine, a small body of water &c. is mixed in extended form with the gas, and is continuously added to the main body of flowing water &c. Means for determining and regulating the amount of gas supplied are provided. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, water from a tank &c. 16 flows to a packed tower 10 through a shut-off valve 18, a meter 20, preferably indicating the rate of flow, and a regulating-valve 19, and meets a countercurrent of gas which is supplied from a cylinder 11 through a shut-off valve 13, a reducing-valve 14, and 'a regulating-valve 15. The solution, which can be drawn off at a sampling-cock 23, is supplied to the water conduit through a pipe 21. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, the meter 20 and, it may be, the reducing-valve 14, are omitted and the chlorine solution can be supplied to a tank 30 and a second tank 32, in which a constant head is maintained by a float valve 33, and drawn off through a valve 34, which may be graduated, to a flow - equalizing we'l 37 upon the conduit 38. Back-pressure is prevented by an open pipe 39, escape of gas being prevented by a water-supply pipe 40, which also serves to dilute the solution. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 3, the supply of gas only is regulated by means of reducing-valves 50, 51, the former of which may be replaced by a regulating-valve. The amount supplied is determined by means of a pressure gauge 53, the gas passing through a nozzle 52 of known size. Passage of moisture from the tower 10 to the gauge 53 is prevented by an upwardly-extending pipe or coil 56. In a further modification, the gas and water are both supplied to the bottom of a packed vessel, from which the solution overflows, the vessel being situated in a flow-equalizing well. The chlorine may be supplied from an electrolytic cell. The water passed through the tower 10 may be 0À1 to 0À02 per cent of the total amount, and a solution of chlorine containing 1 grm. per litre may be produced.
