MANUFACTURE OF HYDROCARBON LIQUIDS FOR USE IN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES. i
To all whom it may concern:
Be'it known that'I, CnARLEs F.,W1NoH, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of New York, in the county ofNew York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Manufacture of Hydrocarbon Liquids Suitable for Use in Internal-Combustion Engines, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to obtain hydrocarbon liquid suitable, like gasolen'e, for use in an internal combustion engine.
The special object of my invention is to produce a liquid ofthe character described in an economical 'manner.
In carrying out my invention I heat coal or its equivalent sufliciently only to drive are the smoke producing elements of the coal and expose petroleum to contact with the said volatile gases or vapors thus released to produce the said hydrocarbon liquid, all as hereinafter more particularly described. By thus heating the coal only to the extent elements which, as is well known, are the more volatile products or gases, I leave the coal nearly as valuable for fuel and coking purposes as it was in its original condition and in some respects render it superior It may be then burned or coked without the production of large volumes of smoke.
One way of carrying out my invention is to inclose the coal in a suitable container or retort and apply heat to the same tocause the more highly volatile gases or vapors. to pass therefrom. Said gases or vapors are brought into contact with the petroleum in any suitable way, as .for -instance by causing them to percolate through a body of petroleum in a suitable container, or the petroleum may be sprayed into a container together with the gas or vapor from the coal. 'If desired the process may be carried on bythe use of an agitator agitating the body of petroleum during the combining process. v
- Preferably the petroleiun is kept at a comparatively low temperature during the process of combination. The result of the operation is that more or less of the more volatile gases or vapors derived from the coal are absorbed by the petroleum, thereby converting the same into a hydrocarbon liq- Specificationof Letters Patent.

uid suitable for use like gasolene in an internal combustion engine, while atthe same time leaving the coal with the major portion of its heat producing units so that, as above stated, the coal can be used for'fuel or other purposes afterward with only a-slight loss of value and, in the case of bituminous coal,
will be free from the more volatile gases or vapors which are the smoke producing ele- F different grades or kinds of coal and would have to be ascertained by experiment in each particular case. I
Ordinary bituminous coal may be employed although in general I contemplate the heating of any carbonized product of the vegetable kingdom. It would be possible even to employ the partially carbonized material known as peat, when it is of such character as to readily give ofi' hydrocarbon gases. My
.to' give ofl the said more volatile vapor or gasesand my invention would include the use of internal combustion, steam or other hot vapor applied internally or externally.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown in diagram orv skeleton apparatus typifying apparatus suitable for use in carrying out my invention.
1 indicates the retort or heater in which the coal or other carbonized product of the vegetable kingdom is heated to the desired extent to drive off only'the more volatile gases or vapors therefrom. 2 indicates a container for the hydrocarbon liquid like petroleum, naphtha or keroseneand3 typifies any suitable purifier through which the gas from 1 passes to remove impurities. 4 ndicates the'pipe which introduces the gas into the container 2, said gas being forced through the body of contained liquid or distributed through the same by the use of any' mechanical pressure applying devices desired.
invention is not confined to any par -t1cular method ofapplying heat to the coal or'other carbonized material 'to cause it able means for continually introducing and Withdrawing the liquid from the container 2 during the operation of forcing or introducing gases into said container and for continually supplying the gas; but as these also are well understood in the art they are not here shown. Gases not taken up by the liquid may be carried away from the chamher 2, through pipe 5 and used for any other and distillatesthereof other than the gaso lene of commerce and that are deficient in the qualities of gasolehe rendering the same for particularlysuitable for use as'the fuel internal combustion engines. What I claim as my invention is 1'. The improvement in the manufacture of hydrocarbon liquids consisting in heating a carbonized product of the vegetable kingdom sufiiciently only to expel the lighter gases therefrom and constituting the smoke producing elements and exposing petroleum producing elements to the lighter gases to produhe a hydrocarv bon liquid suitable for use i'ii *internal combustion engines.
2. The improvement in the manufacture of hydrocarbon liquids consisting in heating a carbonized product of the vegetable kingdom sufficiently only, to expel the lighter gases therefrom and constituting the smoke producing elements/and bringing the said lighter gases into contact with petroleum of a comparatively low temperature to produce a hydrocarbon liquid suitable for use in internal combustion engines. v i
3. The improvement in the manufacture of hydrocarbonliquids consisting in heating coal sufliciently only to expel the lighter gases therefrom and constituting the smoke and bringing said lighter gases into contact with petroleum to produce a hydrocarbon liquid suitable for use in' internal combustion engines while leaving the coal with substantially all its heat producing units but free from thesmokeproducing elements.
