CARL eUsTAF-RJoRKMAN, or GHRISTIANIA, NORWAY, AssIeNoR OF ALL HIS RIGHT TO oHARLEs DE LACY, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN EXPL'OSIVE COMPOUNDS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,988, dated May '30, 1876; application filed May 23, 1876. v
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CARL GUSTAF BJo K- MAN, of Ghristiania, in the Kingdom of Norway, have invented an Explosive Compound, to be used for blasting and other purposes in the arts as a substitute for gunpowder and likecompositions of matter, of which the following is a specification:
It consists in a composition formed by mixing twenty parts nitrate of potash; twenty parts chlorate of potash ten parts cellulosa; ten parts pea-meal; ten parts sawdust; thirty parts nitroline. v
Gellulosa,-as understood here, is made as follows Twenty parts nitric acid, (N0 1.50 specific weight, is mixed with forty parts sulphuric acid, ($0 1.845 specific weight. This mixture is left untouched for at least forty-eight hours, after which twelve parts well-ground pea-meal is added, and the compound is stirred round until its temperature has fallen 6 Fahrenheit from that which it stood when the pea-meal was added. It is then left standing for-two hours, when the compound is poured into a vessel containing .water in quantity at least five times its weight,
and left thus for ten minutes, after which the water is poured 0E and a fresh supply, thoroughly impregnated with soda, is poured on while the compound is kept stirred. It is then left standing until the cellulosa has sunk to the bottom, when the water is poured ofl' and the compound is placed in a room with a temperature of 63 Fahrenheit, where it is kept stirred up for twelve hours, and is then ready for use.
Nitroline is: made as follows: Eighty parts nitric acid, (N0 1.50 specific weight, are mixed with one hundred and seventy parts sulphuric acid, (80 1.845 specific weight. This mixture is left standing until its temperature has fallen 10 Fahrenheit, whereupon fifteen. parts raw stearic oil and fifteen parts sirup are slowly dropped into the acids, which are-kept stirred. The time for this process is about six hours, after which it is left standing for about four hours, during which the raw nitroline will rise to the surface, from which it is carefully skimmed and deposited in a vessel containing water at least five times the .weight'of thecompound, and left therein for twoor three minutes, and thereafter charged into fresh water, after which water containing ten per cent. soda and four times the weight of the compound is poured on under continued stirring. It is then left standin g for a short time, when the nitroline is taken out and placed in a room with a temperature of 40 Fahrenheit, and is ready for use.
The nitrate of potash and chlorate of pot-' ash are thoroughly mixed, whereupon the nitroline is added and the compound is stirred round with great care. The other ingredients, as above described, after having been mixed together beforehand, are'added, and the whole is stirred until it becomes a'smooth and even mass.
Manner of exploding the compound: The compound is deposited in a paper cover by the aid of a piece of wood conically shaped. The cartridge is placed in ahole bored in the rock, pushed well down to 'the bottom, covered with half an inch of powder, in which a fuse is inserted. It is then covered with clay or sand, the fuse is ignited, and when lows. I
What I claim as my invention is- Anexplosive compound composed of nitrate of potash, chlorateof potash, cellulosa, peameal, sawdust, and nitroline, in about the proportions aud substantially in the manner specified. v
The above'specification signed by me this the fire reaches the powder the explosion fol 7th day of January, 1876.
