Complete Specification Accepted, 16th Mar., 1889
I, HENRY WILLIAMS of 71 Blockhouse Street, Canterbury Road, Old Kent Road,
in the County of Surrey, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The object of this invention is to manufacture an artificial fuel of superior quality
and to utilize some of the, in many cases, almost valueless materials arising from the
distillation of coal and the purification gas.
For this purpose I take, by measure, five parts of breeze, two parts of spent lime, as
taken from the gas purifiers, and one part of tar, or the lime and breeze without the
tar. These materials 1 mix together either in a pug-nill, or by other suitable means,
until the whole are thoroughly incorporated. The compound is then compressed either
by hand or appropriate machinery into bricks or blocks, and dried, when a véry
excellent artificial fuel will be found to be the result.
It is important that the lime should be damp, as it leaves the purifiers, when, the
mixture takes place, as the moisture in it greatly assists the thorough incorporation of
the different materials.
The proportion of the different materials is by no means confined to those stated
above, as they may be varied under different circumstances.
In lieu of breeze, small coal, or a mixture of breeze and small coal may be at times
advantageously used with the spent lime and tar.

in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to manufacture an artificial fuel of superior quality

distillation of coal and the purification of gas.
For this purpose I take, by measure, five parts of breeze, two parts of spent lime,

until the whole are thoroughly incorporated. The compound is then compressed either
by hand or appropriate machinery into bricks or blocks, and dried, when a very
excellent artificial fuel will be found to be the result.
It is important that the lime should be damp as it leaves the purifiers, when the
mixture takes place, as the moisture in it greatly assists the thorough incorporation of
the different materials.
The proportion of the different materials is by no means confined to those stated
above, as they may be varied under different circumstances.
In lieu of breeze, small coal, or a mixture of breeze and small coal may be at times
advantageously used with the spent lime and tar.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I claim is,
The preparation and mixing of ingredients herein mentioned for making artificial
fuel in the manner hereinbefore described.
