MANUFACTURE OF GAS FROM GARBAGE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 6, 1910.
Application filed March i5, 1910. Serial No. 549,496.
To all whom it may concern:
Be 'it known that I, ROBERT THOMAS, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in L'Ianufacture of Gas from Garbage, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of gas from garbage, and
to produce by distillation a gas which is suitable for fuel and illuminating purposes,
and a residue which may afterward be em ploycd for various purposes for which such residue. may be suitable.
My invention consists in the mixing and combination with the garbage ot' a certain proportion of sodium carbonate, sulfate of iron, and chlorid of ammonia, and with a proportion of water, and. the subsequent distillation of the mixture, and the separation ot the gas tlms produced from the remain- ,iug residue.
in the accom )anvin drawiu. l i ure l is 1 b h t" a, part sectional view and part elevation of an apparatus suitable for carrying out my mvention. Fig. 2 1s a side elevation ot the ,revoluble mixer.
,corporattal in a mixer, and afterward are placed in a retort, and heated to a point where tin-gas will be separated out and conveyed through the usual cooling,- washing and separating mechanism.
1 have herein shown an apparatus by which this process may be carricd out, in which Fig. 1 shows a mixcr revoluble upon an axis, and having an opening through which the material may be introduct-d, said opcning bcing at'tcrward hermoticallv closcd and the apparatus revolved until thc mixing is complete. From this oint it is then placed in a retort, as at. 2, and subjcctcd to the heatol' a furnace, the
lbs. of sulfate of iron, 9, of a 1b.,
temperature bciu raised until the gas begins to pass oft tirough the pipe 3. From this it passes through a condenser 4, and thence the pipe discharges into a well 5 in v which the iqnid residue is received, while the gas rising through it, passes out through the pipe (3, thence through the water-seal, and into the gasometer 7, from which it may be withdrawn for use through a pipe as at; The residue from the chamber 5 may pass out through the pipe 9, and into a receiver it). y
it. will be understood thatv this apparatus represents any suitable variation which may be protitably used for the operation.
The action ot the. sodium carbonate, sulfate of iron, and chlor .of ammonia, is such as to destroy the odors.arising from the garbage, and the action of'these ingredients when distilled in the mixture, produces a continuous flow of gas, which is comparatircly pure. and ota high illuminating or heating power. i
llaring tlms described my invention,what. I claim and dcsire to secure by Letters latout is- 1. The herein described improvement in manufacturing gas from garbage, said improvement consisting in first separatin the organic from the inorganic portions o? the garbage, then mixing with said organic substances a proportion of sodium carbonate, sulfate of iron and chlorid of ammonia, and finally distilling the mass in a suitable retort, and separating the gas from residue which distils over with it.
2. The improvement in manufacture of gas from garbage, said improvenient consisting in mixing sodium carbonate, sulfate ol iron, and chlorid of ammonia with the organic matter of the garbage, and a proportion of moisture, subjecting the mass to dcstriwtive distillation in a retort, passing the volatile products through a condenser,- .separating the gases from the remaining residue, passing the gas through a waterscal into a gasomcter, and the residue into a separate rcccptaclc.
in testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing w it tn'sscs.
ROBERT THOMAS.
