THOMAS MATIIIESON TI-IOM, OF WOODLANDS, HUGSII UNT, ENGLAND, ASSIGNOR TO THE BRIT- ISH STONE AND MARBLE COMPANY LIMITED, OF LONDON, ENGLAND, A CORPORATION OF GREAT BRITAIN.
MANUFACTURE OF LITHOGRAPHIC STONE ARTIFIGIALLY.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS bIA'lHIIGSON Tnoai', a subject of the King of Great Britain, and resident of Voodlands, Cheshunt, in the county of I'Iertiord, England, lithographer, have invented new and. useful Improvements in the lvIaiuifacture of Lithographic Stone Artificially, of which the tollowing is a specification.
Lithographic stones such as are usually employed for printing are natural products derived from certain special quarries and when large and of good quality are very expensive. It has been proposed to make litho graphic stones artilicially by taking the waste chips and debris from the quarries and stone yards, where such stones are hewn and grinding up the same into line powder, mixing the same with lime, slaking the mixture and molding it into slabs which when dry, are hardened by means of carbonic acid gas. These reconstructed lithographic. stones, when properly made are found admirable. I have now discovered that excellent lithographic stones can be made from the waste material known as slag in a somewhat similar way, with or without the addi tion of natural stone. This material (slag) has already been ground up and used in making cement, tiles, bricks and as an ingredient in a variety of articles which contain slaked lime and are hardened by carbon dioxid, but has not been used in the manufacture of lithographic stone, the properties of which are peculiar and have not hitherto been satisfactorily reproduced or imitated except by the reconstruction oi the debris of the natural stone as above mentioned.
In manufacturing lithographic stone according to my present invention I take blast furnace or granulated slag and reduce the same to a condition of powder, by means of any suitable grinding apparatus. The pow dered slag is mixed with a suitable proportion of lime and the mixture is slaked with Water. While in a plastic state the mixture of slag powder and lime is molded in dies under considerable compression into slabs of Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 12, 1908.
Patented July 13, 1909.
Serial No. 438,206.
a suitable size and tlllclfllOSS to form lithographic stones. \Vlien taken from the dies the slabs are dried and introduced into closed vessels into which carbonic acid gas is admitted or forced gradually until the lime is converted into carbonate and will absorb no more gas. Slabs thus produced "from slag it'ultil every requirement of lithographic stones and in many respects they are superior to the natural article.
I may remark that to the ground slag may be added powdered natural stone, dolomite, silica, alumina, or marble obtained from the quarries or yards if desired.
The carbonatin g of the slabs may be etllected by any of the known methods, by means of which the thorough iinluration ot' the same is insured, for instance, the slabs having been molded and dried and placed in a closed .'essel, the air is exhausted from the latter and carbonic acid gas is allowed to enter. The carbonic acid gas is gradually absorbed by the slabs and fresh gas is from time to time supplied but for a time not in sullicient quantity to reach atmospheric pressure, subsequently however for completing the carbonation actual pressure is necessary which will rary according to the thickness and density of the stone. For the largest stones used, pressure amounting to some 300-l00 lbs. to the square inch may be required.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
The process of maniiitacturing lithographic slone consisting in powdering slag, mixing it with lime, molding the mixture into slabs and submitting the molded slabs to the action of carbonic acid gas gradually admitted thereto until the entire mass is hardened.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
