Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ISAAC TYSON, J[t., OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
IMPROVEMENT IN MANUFACTURE OF CHROMATE OF POTASH.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 3,224, dated October 9, 1845.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ISAAC TYSON, Jr., of the city of Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, manufacturing chemist, have made a new and useful Improvement in the Manner of Manufacturing the Salt known under the Name of Ohromate of Potash and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof.
My improvement in this process consists in the use of a large proportionate quantity of wood-ashes as a substitute for its equivalent of the carbonate of potash or other alkaline salt; and this substitution is not made for the mere purpose of lessening the quantity of the alkaline salts of commerce, which it may be necessary to employ, but I have proved by careful experiment that a larger quantity of the chromate is obtained from a given weight of the ore when wood-ashes are thus used than when the whole of the alkali is supplied by the salts of commerce, the foreign matters contained in the wood-ashes manifestly producing this effect. In other respects the process is managed as heretofore-that is to say, the materials are pulverized and then intimately mixed with the wood-ashes. The proportion of the respective ingredients will of course vary with their purity, which the manufacturers must ascertain by the usual modes. The proportions which I have generally found to answer well are one part, by weight, of the chrome ore and of the alkaline salt, and one and a half part, by weight, of the ordinary wood-ashes. I will observe, however, that in my improved process I have found that the heat may be increased with ad vantage.
Having thus fully described the nature of my improvement in the process of manufacturing the salts of chrome, what I claim therein as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The using of wood-ashes in mixture with the chrome ore and with the alkaline salt, for the purpose and in the manner herein fully set forth. I
ISAAC TYSON, JR.
