Show I PLANS TO UTILIZE I THE SMELTER FUMES Charles S. Vadner Granted Patent on Acid Smelter Fume Filter. H WORKS MECHANICALLY Inventor Explains How De-sired De-sired Result Is Effected by His Invention. Charles F. Vadner was recently grant-oil grant-oil :t United States patent on an acid smaller fume liltcr. The object of the fittur : to purify the smelter fumes or ti.elr mechanical Impurities, and to re-cover re-cover Hie Impurities for further treatment 1 If desired. At the cmne time the puri- lied fumes are to be further treated for the recovery of the combustible gases and othwr values contained therein. Tin Invenror In oxplulning It and show-In- Its application to smelter fumes In general, says: T ie fumes coming from the smelter tine are led through the Intake flue Into tho recovery tower. Said reeov-crv reeov-crv tower has a sloping bottom, slop-In- awav from the Intake flue, and ,iiiovi. tho entrance of the intake flue there is a grate made of chemical bricks, with suitable apertures entlre-U entlre-U aeros tho base of the recovery tower. Resting upon the said grates are a number of spherical bodies, of .suitable size and character. The opening of the grate and the upper grate, are smaller than the diameter of the bodies. In the center of tho BBV l'ocovcry iowt" In a rotary stirrer. l aving Stirring arms at suitable in-tervals in-tervals and provided with a pulley or other suitable means for the op-I'm op-I'm ilon of the - same outride of the J recovery tower. These suitable sphor- BH h a I bodies completely till paid re- AV livery tower, and arc prevented from falling into the outlet by the grate, which la composed of chemical bricks. An insoluble In acids, set at suitable In- tcrvals across the opening in the out-AV out-AV let The fumes percolating upward AV through the Irregular apertures bc- BBV l ween the spherical bodies, lose all their mechanical Impurities, which become disposed In the Interstices AV between tho spherical bodies. The AV rotary stir is rotated by the means. Baj provided, at the proper speed, and As by agitating the spherical bodies tho mechanical Impurities consisting of gold, silver and other valuable met-Ab met-Ab als are permitted to fall down through Aa the spaces In the brick grate to the sloping floor, thence thev niav bo Af drawn off Uirough the manhole! and returned to the smelter for the ro-covory ro-covory of their valuable constltu- j By this apparatus, all their mochan- Av leal impurities arc illtercd from the An fumes, preparatory to their passage AV onward through tho outlet Into other As gas treatment apparatus, where any. combustible gases contained therein Af. and other values are to be recovered. k The Inventor Ln this case Is going one stop farther than anv other ln- Aj ventor.
