Title: Manufacture or Production of New Anthracene Derivatives.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1901-04-10
Granted: 1902-02-13
Abstract: 7398. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. April 10. Acridine derivatives; dyes, artificial.-New acridine derivatives of the anthracene series are produced by acting upon alpha-alphylamidoanthraquinones or derivatives thereof with dehydrating-agents, such as zinc chloride, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, cr sulphuric acid. The reaction is explained in the case of alpha-monoanilidoanthraquinone as follows :- Examples are given in which alpha-p-toluidoanthraquinone and alpha1alpha3- di p-toluidoanthraquinone are heated with sulphuric acid of 70 per cent. strength to about 150‹ C., and the mixture is then poured . into water, whereby the sulphate of the new base is precipitated. The free bases are obtained by acting on the sulphate with ammonia or caustic soda lye. When alpha1alpha3-di-p-toluidoanthraquinone is similarly heated with sulphuric acid to about 150‹-160‹ C., a base of the constitutionis produced. The same compound is obtained when the alpha1alpha3-di-p-toluidoanthraquinone is heated to boiling with glacial acetic acid and zinc chloride. In another example the condensation product from dibromo-alpha-amidoanthraquinone and p-toluidine, described in Specification No. 19,531, A.D. 1899, is heated with sulphuric acid. alpha-p-toluidoanthraquinone sulphonic acid yields a dye which dyes unmordanted wool yellow shades. The use of alpha1 #1- dioxy-alpha3alpha4- di -p - toluidoanthraquinone and brominated alpha1alpha3- dianilidoanthraquinone is also referred to.

Abstract: 7672. Maginn, r. April 15. Making boxes.-In covering fancy boxes of cardboard, wood, and the like with paper or other covering, the latter, which is preferably fed from a roll d carried on the table a is passed through a folder e, the guide-channel h of which gradually changes, as shown in Figs. 6, 7, and 8, until ultimately one limb of the guide is at right-angles to the other. When the strip thus folded emerges from the guide and passes over the pasting-roller c, only the lower flange is pasted. In a modification, the strip is folded in a corrugated tube, so that the adhesive will be applied in strips along the raised parts of the corrugations. When applied to the box, the covering will adhere only in the pasted parts, and the unattached portion may be used to serve as flies &c.
Patent GB-190109084-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Carbonic Anhydride Refrigerating Machines.
Inventor: WINDHAUSEN FRANZ
Filed: 1901-05-02
Granted: 1902-04-24
Abstract: 9084. Windhausen, F., and Windhausen, F. May 2. Vapour engines.-Relates to carbonic anhydride refrigerating machines and consists in means for cooling and utilizing the liquefied gas, and in the expanding and compressing cylinders. The liquefied gas, after leaving the condenser A, is passed through a coil or other countercurrent cooler on its way to the evaporator C. It may also be received in an intermediate vessel B, where part is evaporated to cool the remainder. This vessel may be jacketed and water or brine circulated through it, and cooled brine &c. being subsequently used for cooling purposes. A separator C is attached to this vessel B for drying the issuing gas on its way to the compressor E which returns it with gas drawn by the compressor D from the evaporator C to the condenser A. Or the liquefied gas from the condenser may be led through a water-jacketed pipe, and part of it expanded in a motor cylinder F which assists in driving the compressor D ; the expanded gas is utilized with the remainder of the liquefied gas in the evaporator. Cocks are placed on the various pipes as indicated to regulate the circulation. A number of arrangements of the compressor and vapour engine arrangements are also described in the Specification. According to Fig. 1, separate compressors are used for gas from the condenser and intermediate vessel, but one double-acting cylinder may be used, gas from each source being compressed on its own side, or the gas from the evaporator may be compressed on one side and then further compressed together with the gas from the intermediate vessel on the other side, as shown in Fig. 3. The expansion cylinder may be separate from or combined with the compressor, and may be single or double acting. It may also be jacketed for cooling by circulation of the liquefied or expanded gas. The gas may also circulate in either end of the cylinder and expand in the other as shown in Fig. 6. Figs. 9 and 10 show a combined expander and compressor. Passage of heat from one end to the other is prevented by using a long or double piston between the parts of which cooling medium may circulate, or one piston may work on an inner cylinder around which cooling circulation takes place. The expansion cylinder is placed below the condenser so that liquefied gas flows to it under gravity. Reference is made to Specification No. 2742, A.D. 1901.

Filed: 1902-08-14
Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 17,912. Spreckels, C. A., and Kern, C. A. Aug. 14. Refining sugar; purifying saccharine liquids.- Sugar crystals are purified in such a manner that the soluble impurities are removed, but not the insoluble or solid impurities. The crystals are first mixed with a defecating or cleansing liquid which does not dissolve sugar, preferably the sulphonated or sulpho-oleaginous compound de- scribed in Specification No. 24,569, A.D. 1901, and the mixture is subjected to centrifugal action to remove the defecating-liquid together with the absorbed impurities, such as invert sugar and salts. The crystalline sugar mass is then purified from the traces of defecating-liquid which it contains by mixing it with a liquid that does not dissolve sugar, preferably a cold fully-saturated solution of sugar. The mass is again treated in a centrifugal machine to remove the sugar solution carrying the traces of defecating-liquid. In order to recover the defecating-liquid for re-use, the impurities are separated from it by subjecting it to mechanical action, preferably in a centrifugal cream separator, the impurities having a higher specific gravity than the defecating-liquid. Any traces of defecating-liquid may be removed from the separated impurities by admixture with water and settling. Traces of defecating-liquid may also be recovered from the solution of sugar employed in the second part of the process by treatment in a cream separator.
