Title: Improvements in or relating to the purification of rubber
IPC: C08C1/02
Filed: 1937-09-28
Abstract: 501,216. Purifying rubber; proofing permeable materials. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. (Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc.) Sept. 28, 1937, No. 26272. Drawings to Specification. [Class 70] (Also in Group VIII] Water-soluble substances are removed from rubber by drying latex without an added coagulant until an irreversible solid is formed having a large surface area, and immersing the rubber in water. The temperature of drying, and of washing should not exceed 50‹ C., and is preferably between 25 and 40‹ C. Films may be formed in shallow trays or on belts, and dried until the rubber can be handled, e.g. until the water content is 15 per cent or less, when the rubber is passed through a washing bath, or the latex may be sprayed into a drying atmosphere and allowed to fall into a moving stream of water, the washed particles being subsequently sheeted. The washing water may contain alkali to remove some of the proteins in addition to soluble matter. The plasticity of the rubber may be increased by the addition of an oxidation catalyst, such as naphthyl # mercaptan, to the latex before drying. Mastication of the rubber during washing should be avoided. Rubber so treated has good dielectric properties, and a low water absorption, and is suitable for submarine cable insulation, for which purpose it may be substituted for the deproteinized rubber in compositions such as described in Specification 307,966, [Class 70], containing guttapercha, deresinated balata, and hydrocarbon wax. Cables may be covered by coating them with latex to which vulcanizing ingredients have been added, drying, and washing. Fabrics may be similarly treated. Specification 223,644, [Class 70], also is referred to.

Patent GB-681644-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of baking yeast
IPC: C12N1/18
Filed: 1950-10-31
Abstract: In a process for the production by the aerobic process of baking yeast from sugar containing substrates, on completion of the usual multiplication stage, the addition of substrate is continued during the ripening stage whilst at the same time the addition of N compounds and if desired of phosphates is stopped, the supply of air on the other hand being so increased that the greater part of the substrate sugar is converted to CO2. Towards the end of the multiplication stage the temperature may be raised to the limit of toleration of the yeast and maintained during the ripening stage which follows.  During this latter stage the usual sugar containing substrates are wholly or partially replaced by substrates which are poor in or free from growth- or activity-promoting substances, e.g. alcohol-containing liquors such as are for example obtained in a preceding yeast production phase.  In an example 300 kg of pitching or seeding yeast and 1000 kg of molasses with the usual addition of nutrient salts are used and during the first half of the fermentation the temperature is kept at 30 DEG  C.  After the addition of the molasses and nutrient salts is ended 400 kg of molasses or 500 kg of wood-sugar syrup or the residue from the first pitching or seeding yeast stage containing 200 litres alcohol is run in over a period of 4 hours with strong aeration the amount of air used being sufficient to oxidise all the alcohol formed.  The mixture is cooled and the yeast separated from the liquor immediately when 1200-1300 kg are obtained.
