Machines for separating liquids from solids by density; drums. - In a continuous-action centrifugal machine for separating solids from liquids, the supplying-means and the outlets from the separating-chamber are so arranged that a vacuous space exists in the chamber near the axis in order to prevent the escape of liquid from the outlet for the solids. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, a number of chambers 10 are arranged about a central hollow shaft 1 and are fed by pipes 11, the supply of the material to be treated being controlled by a valve 38 on a float 41, and a throttle - valve 42. The solids outlet 12 is turned inwards and upwards into the pipe 14 and is thus sealed. The liquid outlet pipe 28 passes upwards and outwards to a seal 31 and open trap 30 so that atmospheric pressure exists in the chamber 10 at about the region a a<1>. The liquid is delivered by a pipe 33 into a trough 34. The solid in the pipe 14 is removed by a worm 16 driven by gearing 18, 19, 21, 22 into a chamber 25. Any liquid separated in the pipe 14 is taken back into the chamber 10 by a pipe 45. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, a single annular chamber 10<a> is employed. The material is delivered by pipes 11<a> into a trap 9<a>, a filter 50 being interposed between the chamber 10<a> and the clear liquid side. The pressure within the chamber is adjusted automatically by a piston or diaphragm controlled throttle-valve 38<a> arranged as shown, which controls the clear-liquid outlet 28<a>. The liquid is collected in a trough 34<a>. The separated solids pass around a sealing-bend 12<a>, and over a surface 14<a> to a filter 51, and are then delivered to a rotary trough 37<a> from which a stationary scraper 64 removes them. A pipe 53 removes liquid separated at the filter 51. A differentially rotating sleeve 20<a> carries scrapers 24<a>, 16<a>, and a brush 52 for facilitating the removal of deposited solids, and also a brush for cleaning the filter 50.

Filed: 1913-04-30
Granted: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 10,208. Rosen, J. April 30. Hydrocarbon oils and tars, distilling.-Hydrocarbons such as coal tar, petroleum residues, &c. are oxidized by treatment with an oxidizing-gas without using any external heat. By means of a partial vacuum, and utilizing the latent heat of evaporation only, dehydration of the tar and distillation of the benzene is effected. The material is caused to flow through cylindrical receivers in one direction while air, or air containing ozone or oxygen, is forced through the material in the opposite direction, both the material and the air being cold at the commencement of the operation. The oxidation takes place in stages corresponding with the number of receivers used, the current of gases from one receiver passing into the next and conveying with it heat generated by the reaction taking place. The temperature in each receiver is regulated by admitting a proportion of fresh gases with the spent gas from the preceding receiver. The heat of reaction is conserved by covering the receivers with insulating-material, and in some cases arranging them in close proximity. Condensable substances carried away by the gases may be passed into cold tar or into condensing-vessels immersed in the cold tar that is used for supplying the apparatus. Specifications 16,182/05, 28,689/06, and 8712/12, [Class 55(ii), Gas manufacture &c.], are referred to.

Abstract: 14,592. Genter, A. L. June 24. Bag filters; filters, cleansing; filters, air supply for.-A number of filter frames 13 are supported by a carrier 12, which runs on rails within a closed and preferably inclined filter tank A, and is rigidly connected to the head A<1> of the tank. Each frame has a separate outlet 25 from which the filtrate is discharged through a cock 27 to a transverse collecting-pipe 29 or through a cock 28 to an open trough 30. To close the filter tank, the head A' is pressed against a packing-ring by radial levers P, which are hinged at the centre to a piece D and have their outer ends engaging in the loops of U-shaped bolts O. To put pressure on the levers, the piece D is moved along a shaft B by means of an hydraulic piston or of a hand-lever, a shaft H, and toggle levers F, G. When cakes have formed on the filter bags. the carrier is brought out of the tank A to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, wheels 15 attached to the head A' travelling on the supporting frame 18. Counterweights 23 are connected to the axles of the wheels 15 by cables 19 passing round pulleys 21, one of which is provided with a crank power arm. The cakes are discharged from the elements by compressed air or steam supplied to the pipe 29, and the bags may be cleansed afterwards by the injection of acid, alkali, or other solvent with the air or steam. An alternative method of cleansing is to fill the tank with washing liquid through a pipe 48 or a pipe 46 and supply steam and compressed air for heating and agitating purposes through valves 35, 37, respectively, and the check valve 49. To prevent the premature displacement of the filter cakes by the formation of a vacuum outside the elements when unfiltered liquid or wash liquid is drained off, a special air-supply arrangement is provided, such arrangement comprising a cylinder 41, a float 42 connected to a valve 40, a three-way valve 39, a pressure reducing air-supply valve 38, and a blow-off valve 44. The inner end of the carrier 12 is provided with a scraper 17 to remove sediment from the bottom of the tank. A metal cap or shield placed over and extending the full length of each filter element prevents the adherence of the cakes at this position when the rest is dislodged.
