Patent GB-190718135-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Certain Alkaline Effluents.
Inventor: RADCLIFFE JOHN
Filed: 1907-08-10
Granted: 1908-08-10
Abstract: 18,135. Radcliffe, J. Aug. 10. Foul waters, treating; reagents.-Alkaline effluents, particularly those containing lime, scouring liquors, and the like, are neutralized in a manner similar to that described in Specification No. 10,075, A.D. 1905. The effluent and acid are passed under constant pressure through adjustable holes, preferably of agate or other non-wearing material, or are supplied by means of pumps working on the same shaft or at fixed rates. Sulphurous acid, obtained at or from a by-product of the operation that produced the effluent, may be used. Thus sulphurous acid obtained from sulphuretted hydrogen is used for ammoniacal liquor. When sulphur dioxide obtained by burning a sulphide, for example iron pyrites or brassy coal, or from iron oxide that has been employed for arresting sulphuretted hydrogen, is used, the gas may be injected into the liquid or mingled therewith in a tower. The proper amount of gas may be regulated by delivering the solid to be burned by a worm or like mechanical means. Or a regulated flow of liquid may be used to dissolve the dioxide, any excess of the gas being absorbed by moist calcium oxide or carbonate. When the acid is obtained from sulphuretted hydrogen, the amount may be regulated by a cock on the pipe supplying that gas. A minimum amount of acid is used. When the effluents contain lime, bisulphite is sometimes obtained.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Gas-governor and Street-pressure Changer.
Inventor: YANKEE ANTON ALBERT
Filed: 1908-02-10
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 2951. Yankee, A. A. Feb. 9, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Pressure-regulating valves.-A gas governor and street-pressure changer has two sets of regulating- valves, one actuated by an inverted bell regulator 2 to reduce the pressure of the incoming gas at 9 to a fixed datum pressure at 6, and the other actuated by a second regulator 7 the load on which is varied automatically according to the demand so as to give a high pressure when the demand is great and a low pressure when the demand is small. For this purpose the bell 7 carries two mercury boxes 20, 21 connected by flexible tubes to two mercury boxes 22, 23, slidably mounted on vertical rods and supported on springs 28, 29. With a large consumption, the bell lowers, so that mercury passes from the box 22 to the box 21, and subsequently from the box 23 to the box 20. As the mercury leaves the boxes 22, 23, the reduction of weight allows the springs 28, 29, to lift them higher so that the mercury passes quickly and effects a rapid change of pressure. When the demand falls again, the bell 7 rises and the mercury flows back again quickly into the boxes 22, 23, thereby effecting a reduction of the outer gas pressure.
