Granted: 1912-11-25
Abstract: 21,059. Armstrong, J. T., and Mordan, J. Sept. 23. Solidified oils. - Petroleum and other hydrocarbon oils are solidified by bringing them in a finely divided state, for example, in thin layers or spray, into intimate contact with glue or other binder in a liquid or plastic condition and also in a finely divided state, and afterwards collecting the resulting emulsion and hardening it by drying or cooling or by means of a reagent such as iron sulphate. Solid substances, such as coal dust, sawdust, or husks of seeds, may also be incorporated. In one form of apparatus, oil from a tank A passes in a thin film down inclined tables C, D, on to which fall showers of glue, coal dust, and iron sulphate from tanks E, J, N respectively. The product collects in a tank R, which may be fitted with a mixer P and a cooling-jacket, and is delivered therefrom into moulds. The tanks A, E are fitted with floatfeeds to preserve a constant head. Sliding or rotary perforated plates a, e, j, n, registering with perforations in the walls of the tanks A, E, J, N, are provided for the control of the proportions of the ingredients. Strikers j<1>, n<1>, o<1> facilitate the movement of the materials. A succession of treatments with glue and coal-dust may be effected by the use of a number of tanks E, J, arranged alternately. In another form of apparatus, the ingredients are mixed in the form of spray or powder by means of converging nozzles.

Abstract: 6948. Milne, S. March 19. Travelling - band type. - In apparatus for squeezing and washing paper pulp, the pulp is alternately squeezed, drained, and washed, the washing - liquor progressing in the reverse direction to the movement of the pulp ; in this way the pulp, after digestion, is washed with a minimum quantity of water, reducing the total quantity of liquor to be treated for the recovery of alkali. The pulp passes from a box e on to the lower of a pair of wire cloth aprons a, b, which pass around .perforated rolls c, d; the pulp is squeezed while passing between these rolls, a large proportion of the liquor and non-cellulose matter being expressed and caught in a trough j. The aprons a, b, with the pulp between them, next pass between a series of press rollers f, after which the pulp is finally discharged into a receptacle. Below each pair of rollers f is a trough g, from which the expressed liquid is pumped on to the pulp in front of the preceding pair of rollers f, fresh water being supplied in front of the last pair. Vacuum boxes may be used instead of the press rollers, or in conjunction therewith. Sprays i wash the aprons after delivery of the pulp.
