1, WILLIAM HENRY WAYLAND of 10 Little Grove Street, Lisson Grove,
Marylebone, London, S. W: Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved apparatus and process for purifying sugar,
saccarhine, and the like, also applicable to any other liquid which require purifying,
such as oils, alcohol, etc., and has for its object to render such process more simple
and less expensive than the methods at present in use.
In carrying out my invention, I provide a receptacle or cistern, preferably of
glass, fitted with an outlet pipe. In the lower part of the cistern, I place a suitable
quantity of magnetic porous or spongy iron. The sugar, alcohol, or other substance
is then poured into the cistern and the latter closed hermetically. I now force
oxygen, ozone or atmospheric air into the cistern by means of tubes lying on the
bottom or along the lower part which are perforated so as to allow the oxygen to
thoroughly impregnate the iron, the oxygen passing through the latter and through
the substance to be purified. The latter, when the operation is complete is run off
through the outlet pipe.

particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved apparatus and process for purifying sugar
saccharine and the like, also applicable to any other liquids which require
purifying, such as oil alcohol &c. and has for its object to render such process more
simple and less expensive than the methods at present in use. In carrying out
my invention I provide a receptacle or cistern preferably of glass fitted with an
outlet pipe.
In the lower part of this cistern I place a suitable quantity of magnetic porous
or spongy iron or iron in combination with carbon called commercially under the
above names to express a filtering material.
The sugar saccharine or other substance is then poured into the cistern and the
latter closed hermetically. I now force oxygen ozone or atmospheric air into the
cistern by means of tubes lying on the bottom or along the lower part of the cistern
which are perforated, so as to allow the oxygen to thoroughly impregnate the iron,
the oxygen passing through the latter and through the substance to be purified. The
latter when the operation is complete is run off through the outlet pipe.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The purifying sugar saccharine and the like, also applicable to other liquids
which require purifying, such as oil, alcohol &c. by magnetic porous or spongy iron
utilized with oxygen ozone or atmospheric air.
2. The purification of sugar saccharine and the like as herein described and for
the purposes set forth.
