Description

GEORGE W. HERBEIN, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.
ARTIFICIAL FUEL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 1, 1908.
Application filed. November 29, 1907. Serial No. 40 1, i52.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Gnonen WV. HERBEIN, citizen of the Seattle, in the county of King and State of Washington,
have invented certain new and United States, residing atl useful lmprovements in Artificial Fuel, of I A further object of the invention is to prol vide a fuel containing a relatively large amount of petroleum; and to overcome the disintegrating tendency of a surplus of oil by the combined effects of a chemical reaction upon the oil and the mechanical bond afforded by the employment of an animal proteid, as glue, blood, or wastes from slaughter houses.
The fuelconsists essentially of petroleum oil; a combustible absorbent, such as peat, or saw-dust; an alkaline salt, such as sal soda; and a binder, such as common glue.
The manner in which the fuel is prepared is as follows-The petroleum is heated and the alkaline salts added uponwhich ebullition and partial saponification ensues. The absorbent material is then added and followed by the glue in a finely divided condition with sufficient water to promote the cohesive character of the glue. After a thorough mixture is attained the mass while still hot may be molded into briquets and subjected to combined heat and pressure for a considerable length of time whereupon the product will be an exceedingly efficient form of fuel.
The proportions of the specific ingredients aforementioned would desirably be as follows; though the proportions can be considlowing the erably varied to' afford different grades of fuel: petroleum, twenty per cent; peat, seventy-five per cent. glue, fourper cent; and sal soda, one per cent.
. The glue serves as a binder and hardens under heat and pressure, cementing the product to a condition to withstand the effects of moisture and shipment. Although of small amount in the proportions given, by finely powdering and thoroughly mixing it with the mass it becomes exceedingly efficient for the functions it is desired to perform.
The sal soda having an affinity for the oil, reacts upon the latter which results in a partial loss of its greasy characteristics and aluse of a larger proportional amount of this high grade combustible in the fuel without danger of disintegration.
Having described my invention, what I claim, is
1. An artificial fuel comprising in combination with petroleum, a combustible absorbent, and an alkaline salt, of a binding agent therefor consisting of glue in a finely divided state, and water.
2. An artificial fuel comprising a mixture of petroleum, peat, sal soda and glue in substantially the following proportions: petroleum, twenty per cent; peat,seventy-five per cent; sal soda, one per cent; and glue, four per cent.
3. An artificial fuel comprising a mixture of petroleum, peat, sal soda and a binding agent therefor consisting of comminuted glue and water.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE \V. HERBEIN.
