Title: An Improved Process for Reducing Iron Ore
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1906-02-07
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 2988. Newton, P. A., [Westman Process Co.]. Feb. 7. Metallurgical furnaces.-In a process for reducing iron ores to obtain wrought iron, water or steam is mixed with a current of heated air and passed through glowing fuel, the resulting gases, freed if necessary from sulphur and carbonic acid, being passed at a temperature of about 1100‹ C. througb the ore, which may be mixed with a small proportion of carbon. An apparatus for carrying out the process comprises a reducing-furnace A connected by a channel B with a producer D. Air is forced by a blower E into pipes F<1> set in a chamber F, having a combustion chamber I to which heating-gases from the furnace A are led, air being supplied through openings J. The products of combustion are led off through a stack K<1>. Water is sprayed into the pipes F<1> from pipes G, and the air and steam mixture is forced through tuyeres M into the producer D. To free the gas from sulphur, the coke charged to the producer is mixed with 10 per cent of limestone. To free the gas from carbonic acid, the gas is passed through a channel B supplied with coke from a hopper C'. The amount of water supplied from the pipes G is regulated so that the gases leaving the channel B have a temperature of about 1100‹ C. The ore is preferably mixed with about three per cent of carbon and briquetted. The process may be used for reducing ores containing phosphoric acid or titanic acid.

Title: Improved Method of Dressing or Grading China Clay.
Inventor: BATT HENRY JOHN
Filed: 1906-08-15
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 18,294. Batt, H. J., and Bowden, W. Aug. 15. Pottery.-In a method of dressing or grading China-clay, the clay after excavation is broken up and exposed to a constant current of air heated to about 250‹ F., and is agitated to facilitate drying. It is then screened in order to separate out anything above a quarter-inch mesh, and is allowed to fall in a thin wide stream which is subjected to a current of air heated to about 150‹ F. The clay is thus blown over graded screens, preferably rotary tubular screens having sections of different grades of fineness, through which the heavier particles fall into bins. The air blast carries the lighter particles against a series of stationary baffles or screens of increasing fineness of grade, or the particles may be allowed to fall by gravity as the air current becomes spent. The different grades of sand, grit, mica, and clay are thus separately collected. Finally the clay is passed through a grading-reel or centrifugal screen provided with a fine silk or wire mesh.

Abstract: 28,765. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Dec. 17. Pyridones; dyes, artificial.-Condensation products (pyridones) are obtained by treating with alkalies mixtures of alpha-aminoanthraquinones, or derivatives thereof, and ketonic compounds of the type CH3.COR (R = CH3-, C6H5-, -CH2COOH, &c.), or by treating with alkalies the acetyl derivatives of secondary alpha-alkylamino- or arylaminoanthraquinones. In an example, alpha-aminoanthraquinone is condensed with acetone by means of caustic soda; the product has probably the formula.:- In another example, alpha-aminoanthraquinone, acetoacetic ester and sodium methylate are employed ; the carboxylic acid of the above compound is thus obtained as the result of saponification of the ethyl ester which is first produced ; sublimation removes carbon dioxide with production of the above compound. The condensation product from acetone and the potassium salt of the 2 :6-disulphonic acid of 1: 5-diaminoanthraquinone dyes wool brown shades ; the hydrochloride of the base from acetone and 1 :4-diaminoanthraquinone dyes cotton, mordanted with tannin, yellowish-brown shades. The condensation products from 1- aminoanthraquinone-5-sulphonic acid and methylethylketone or acetophenone are also described. The Provisional Specification also describes the condensation product from 1-aminoanthraquinone- 5-sulphonic acid and acetone. The acetylized derivatives of secondary alpha-alkylamino- and arylaminoanthraquinones are obtained by boiling the amines with acetic anhydride ; the following are described : acetyl- 1 - methylaminoanthraquinone, acetyl - 1 - methylamino - 4 - bromanthraquinone, diacetyl - 1 : 5 - dimethyldiaminoanthraquinone, acetyl-l-methylamino-4-nitroanthraquinone, acetyl- 1 - p - tolylaminoanthraquinone, 1 - acetylmethylamino-4 p-tolylaminoanthraquinone, and 1-acetylmetihylamino-4-dimethylaminoanthraquinone. The condensation product obtained by treating with alkali the first-mentioned acetyl derivative has probably the formula :- Treatment of the fourth-mentioned acetyl derivative with sodium and methyl alcohol yields a condensation product in which the nitro group is replaced by a methoxy group. The sulphonic acid of the condensation products from the sixthmentioned acetyl derivative dyes wool bluish-red shades. The condensation products from the other acetyl derivatives above are also described ; the hydrochloride of the product from the last of these dyes unmordanted wool, and cotton mordanted with tannin, reddish-violet shades.

Abstract: 9354. Tudor, H. April 26, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Electric governors.-In governors of the type in which the engine to be governed drives a shuntwound dynamo generating a current in opposition to a battery, the resultant current working the valve or other regulator, the speed at which the engine runs is adjusted by varying the magnetization of the field of the dynamo. In the arrangement shown, the field circuit of the dynamo D is adjusted by a resistance R. The valve or other regulator L is worked by solenoids S placed in shunts to the armature circuit. P and P<1> are unipolar cells to prevent current from flowing in one direction. The field magnets may not be shunt wound and may be excited by a current from any source, or may be permanent magnets. In this case the current from the battery is varied by cutting out or in one or more cells. The resulting current due to variations in the speed of the motor may be employed to adjust a valve or other regulating- device either directly or through a relay or relays.
