A Process for Utilizing the Solid Refuse of Breweries, Distilleries,
Starch, Sugar, Poudrette Factories, and the like.
I, ALBERT WEICKMANN, of Bereiteranger 3A, Munich, in the Empire of Germany,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
-
The refuse which is produced in these factories, has hitherto only been used for
purposes of feeding cattle and of mauuring. By means of the hereafter described
process this waste receives a greater value since when dried and formed into a
workable mass by decomposing and working this mass can be used for various
objects for instance, lists, panels, wall-coverings, decorations, fillings, floorings,
articles of industry, of any kind and the like.
After having carefully dried and separated the organically unclean substances
(with deodorisation if needed) such refuse as malt or distillery residuum, molasses,
turnip-chips, starch, hops, foeces, etc., are treated with soda-lye, in order to remove
the still existing fatty substances and to destroy brittle substances and decompose.
the whole cells. There results then a thick pulp, to which are added different
kinds of resin in parts as fine as possible, which saponify in the paste or pulp.
formed by the soda-lye and enter into a thorough combination with the refuse.
After the double purpose of decomposing and of impregnating has been obtained by
the lye, water is added in successive portions and the lye is thus washed out. After
the lye has been taken out the remaining water is pressed out, in order that also
unclean substances soluble in water can be thus removed which would injure the
good appearance of the product.
In order to augment the adhering capacity and the lustre of the product one
can add glucose, syrup and the like in fine parts; the mass is then thoroughly.
mixed, put in thin layers on plates and treated in a vacuum-drying-apparatus.
Here any still remaining dampness is removed and the mass, after having been
sufficiently pulverized, is now completely adapted to be made up in forms and
pressed. The plastic mass is placed into appropriate moulds and pressed under
strong pressure while it is simultaneously warmed.
Objects produced in this manner are similar to wood and have great solidity
and a good appearance.

page_text: same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
The refuse which is produced in these factories has hitherto only been used for
purposes of feeding cattle or for manure. By means of this process this waste
receives a greater value since when dried and formed into a workable mass by
decomposing and working, this mass can be used for various objects for instance
laths, panels, wall coverings, decorations, fillings, floorings, articles of industry
of any kind and the like. After having carefully dried the matter and separated
sand, earth stones or other like substances such refuse as malt or distillery residuum,
molasses, turnip chips, starch, hops, foeces, etc., are treated with soda lye in order
to remove the still existing fatty substances from the cells. This results in the
formation of a thick pulp, to which are added different kinds of resin in parts as
fine as possible, which saponify in the paste or pulp formed by the soda lye and
enter into a thorough combination with the refuse. After the double purpose of
decomposing and of impregnating has been obtained by the lye, water is added
in successive portions and the lye is thus washed out." After the lye has been
removed the remaining water is pressed out, in order that also unclean substances
soluble in water can be thus removed which would injure the good appearance of
the product.
In order to augment the adhering capacity and the lustre of the product one can
add glucose, syrup and the like in a fine state of division, the mass is then
thoroughly mixed, put in thin layers on plates and treated in a vacuum drying
apparatus.
.1.
Here any still remaining dampness is removed and the mass after having been
sufficiently pulverized, is now completely adapted to be made up in forms and
pressed. The plastic mass is placed in appropriate moulds and pressed under
strong pressure while it is simultaneously warmed.
Objects produced in this manner are similar to wood and have great solidity and
a good appearance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
Process for utilizing the solid refuse of breweries, distilleries, starch, sugar,
poudrette factories or the like, consisting in treating this refuse with lye and
mixing with it fine pulverized resins, whereupon after the lye has been washed
out with water and the latter has been pressed out, the mass is dried and then
pressed into forms under a corresponding pressure and simultaneously warmed.
