Title: Improvements in or relating to Dyeing Fibres, Yarns and Fabrics.
Inventor: CAUX GASTON
Filed: 1903-01-01
Granted: 1903-04-30
Abstract: 1. Caux, G. Jan. 1. Dyeing.-Fast colours, such as red, rose, lilac, and blue, are produced on fibres, yarns, and fabrics of vegetable or animal origin, or on mixed goods, by first treating the goods with oils, fats, or similar bodies, dissolved in suitable solvents, then submitting them to the action of an oxidizing-agent, and finally dyeing with mordant dyes, such as alizarin, or with dyes such as indigo, indanthrene, and the like. The oils, fats, &c. may be of vegetable, animal, or mineral origin, including such substances as aniline oil and the like. and the solvents for them may be alcohols or hydrocarbons of the fatty or aromatic series, or other organic or inorganic bodies. In dyeing alizarin red, for example, the goods are first treated with a solution of palm oil, oleic acid, olive oil, or tallow, in ordinary alcohol, or in benzene, toluene, or xylene, or a mixture thereof. They are then dried in a hot chamber and superoxidized in an atmosphere of ozonized air, or in a bath capable of generating oxygen, such as an electrolytic bath or a solution of a hypochlorite. After these operations, they are treated with a known dye-mordant, which is fixed in a tepid alkaline bath, and dyed in the ordinary way. A fast blue colour may be obtained by first treating the goods with aniline oil, dissolved in alcohol, benzene, or the like, then oxidizing with dilute chromic acid, and afterwards dyeing in a bath containing indanthrene and hydrosulphite or other suitable reducing-agent. The process may be completed by a super-oxidation, if necessary, and by a final treatment in an alkaline or soap bath. In the production of blues according to this example, the order of the oxidizing and reducing operations may be reversed.

Granted: 1905-08-29
Abstract: 18,660. Bavay, A. J. F. de. Aug. 29. Treating ores; washing zinc ores.-In a process for separating zinc blende particles from ores, tailings, and concentrates, they are first freed from carbonates and other impurities which cover them by submitting the ore, contained in a vessel with stirrers, gas pipes, &c., to the action of a half to ten per cent. solution of ammonium carbonate, or sodium or potassium bicarbonate ; or carbonic acid is passed through the pulverized wet ore. Any. other reagent which will bring about the separation of the coating may be used, means such as trituration or friction and washing out also being employed. The strength of solution, sufficiency of washing &c. are found by trial, the combined action of trituration and carbonic-acid gas being very effective. The ore is then mixed with water and passed down an inclined surface into a trough of water where particles of zinc sulphide float off, the gangue sinking. The apparatus described in Specification No. 25,858, A.D. 1904, is well adapted for carrying out the process. The method of preparing the ore is applicable in the presence of sulphides of iron, lead, and silver, and where the separation is effected by the use of vanners or tables.
