COMPLETE SPECIFICATION Improvements in Adjustable Sieves 1, ERNEST MARE, of 902, S A Fire House, Corner of Marshall and Harrison Streets, Johannesburg, Transvaal Province, Union of South Africa, a South African Citizen, do hereby declare the invention, for which I pray that a patent may be granted to me, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: - This invention relates to screens for size separation of solid particles or the removal of discrete particles of small size carried in a gaseous current It is particularly applicable to the screening of particles from air and the 1 S invention will be described when used for such a purpose. In woven screens such as cloth screens the open area is limited to that unoccupied by the crossed filaments woven to form a mesh. Such screens are easily clogged and not easily cleaned particularly when screening particles of very small size To avoid this loss in area and assist in cleaning a screen has been made, known as the Heller screen, consisting of steel wires laid parallel and without cross wires This type of screen is, however, not suitable for screening very small particles and it is the object of the invention to provide a

screen suitable for removing very small particles, 50 microns or less from an air stream. According to this invention there is provided a screen consisting of smooth flexible tensioned filaments substantially uniform in diameter, assembled parallel to one another in one fiat plane with the widths of the spaces between the filaments in said plane being less than 50 microns, said filaments extending between supports allowing individual vibration of said filaments. According to a further feature of this invention the efective width of the spaces netween the filaments is varied either by vibrating them and at varying amplitudes, or by varying their cross sectional area by stretching them or by stretching the members of the F Plie frame on which they are wound. According to still further features of the invention the filaments may be made of ferro-magnetic material, and the vibration 50 effected by an oscillating magnetic field; it is also provided that the screen may be made double by vwinding the filaments over the outside of the frame, the distance between the two screens depending on the thickness of 35 the two sides of the frame over which the filaments are wound, and that the filaments may be thickened by heating or they may be given a covering by wetting them. For the purpose of description the accom 60 panying drawings illustrate diagrammatically the invention in which: Fig 1 is a front elevation of a portion of the screen. Fig 2 is an end elevation of the screen 65 Fig 3 illustrates one means for vibrating the screen. Fig 4 illustrates a means for cleaning the screen. Figs 5 and 6, show details described here 70 inafter. In the drawings 10 represents the frame of the screen, which may consist of the two end members 11, 11 These end members 11, 11 are joined by rods 12 threaded through lugs 7 13, 13 fixed at the ends of members 11, 11. The members 11, 11 may be made of metal. wood, hard rubber, plastic or like material. The rods 12 are screw threaded and provided with nuts 14, 14, which are made to 80 butt against the lugs 13, 13, to keep the members 11, 11, apart and so put a tension on the filaments making up the screen. In the form of the screen shown the fiia ments making up the screen are wound 85 around the frame members 11 so that the strands are close together and form practically a continuous surface. Considering in the first case that the filament is a ferro magnetic wire, an electro 9 g magnet 16 (Fig 3) may be placed in the frame between the filaments, and, when activated by a pulsating current, will vibrate them The extent of the vibrations will be a measure of

the spaces between thie filaments and consequently the coarseness or the sieve At the same time tie amplitucie of the vibrations will dnepernd on the eiion of the filaments 15 which may be regulated by the nuts 14, or by the intensity of tle cur rent passing through the electro magnet 165. i O It will be obvious that the wire or other filaiment used in the construc ion of the screen should be selected from those gauges which are obviously practical for such use, that is gauges which provide sufficient L Ehi Ck1 S ness to withstand the tensioning contemplated by the invention yet sufienly fileible to vibrate readily -It will be further understood that since tie screen is required to remove particles of 50 microns or less under dry screening conditions the spaces between the filaments when they are in one fiat plane swill be appreciably less than 50 microns as during -vibration of the filaments the spaces between will increase to an extent depending on their degree of tensioning Under wet screening conditions if the spaces are less than 50 microns apart when the filaments are in one flat plane in spite of the spaces increasing during vibration they will still screen particles of under 50 microns diameter due to the films of water which form on the filaments increasing the effective diameter of the latter and thus decreasing the effective widths of the spaces between them The filaments must also be smooth and of uniform diameter, as would be the case with normal metal wires, to avoid variation in the effectiveness of different parts of the screen which would result from non-uniforra or irregularly shaped wires. In screening dust laden air, water sprays from a duct 17 may be directed onto the screen as shown in Figure 4 Due to the small width of the spaces between the filaments and the surface tension of the water the latter appears largely to fill the spaces between the filaments and entrap the dust particles The water then flows in a turbulent manner down the downstream side of the screen with the entrapped dust particles and into a reservoir leaving the air substantially free of both dust and water particles. The filament made, as already described, or if formed of glass or similar fibre may be thickened by heating or by a coatinu of liquid If the filament is a conductor the heating may be effected by the passage of an electric current as shown in Fig 5, where 18 represents the ends of the wound filament which may be connected to an electric current supply If a coating of liquid is used, a supply may be furnished from perforated pipes 19,20 19 is placed on the outside and 20 on the inside of the double screen.

In practice the two factors affecting the eflective coarseness of the screen namely the cross sectional area of the strands and the amplitude of vibration will be, to a greater or 90 lesser degree, interdependent depending on the type of material used for the filaments since both factors depend on the tension of the filaments. The invention has been described and 95 shown as a sieve with a double screen but a single layer of filaments may be used This may be done by securing the strands at one end to the frame and clamping the opposite ends between a pair of bars which are rota 100 ted about fixed centres so that the strands are wound up on then Alternatively the bars may be drawn towards or allowed to move away from a fixed end of the frame of the screen by means of nuts 14 on rods 12 10 or like -means. In both cases the strands may be brought around a strip of rubber or like flexible material attached to the side of one of the members 11 which will act to equalise the 110 tension in the strands. To make up a sieve with a single screen the filament may be wound round the frame 11, 11, and then strips 21, Fig 6 securely fastened to the strands 15 by soldering or 115 otherwise afterwards they are cut between the strips 21 to provide two lots of strands which may be mounted to form a screen in any suitable manner. Iti will be seen, wiih a screen according to 120 this invention, that it is possible to obtain the minute variations in she effec Live width of the spaces beta en the filaments which are necessary when dealing with particles of very small size It ill also be seen that the 125 screen iv self cleaning o, may be easily cleaned by brushin or by a hio-w; ol a aas or liquid theretlhroualh or by heating the wires, if tale material on the screen is combustible and the filarnents incombustible 130 785,343 wherein an electromagnet is used to vibrate the filaments.

Improvements in or relating to Production of Vanadium Metal. 56)344 We, UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY, London, a British Authority, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- This invention relates to the production of vanadium metal and it is concerned with the hydrogen reduction of the trichloride of vanadium to produce vanadium metal. In the course of the hydrogen reduction of vanadium trichloride a degree of dispro.

portionation to the tetra and di-chlorides 1,5 inevitably occurs and this disproportionation represents a loss in reduction efficiency due to the escape of the very volatile tetrachloride of vanadium. According to the present invention vanadium trichloride is reduced by hydrogen in two stages, the first stage comprising a reduction at a temperature in the range 400-500 O C and preferably at about 450 C and the second stage a reduction at 25) a temperature in excess of 950 C. The following is an example of one way of carrying the invention into effect. EXAMPLE. A silica tube furnace having an inlet at one end for admission of hydrogen gas, and an outlet at the other end which was connected to a silicone oil trap and an extractor Hydrogen was supplied to the inlet by way of a flowmeter, a magnesium perchlorate drying tower, a column packed with uranium turnings held at 750 C and finally an evacuating T-joint Vanadium trichloride was filled into a molybdenum boat, the operation being carried out in an lPrice 3 s 6 d l atmosphere of pure argon and the transfer of the boat to the furnace being under counter current of hydrogen. The temperature of the furnace was raised to 4500 C and hydrogen was allowed to flow into the furnace at a rate of 50 litres per hour for a period of 24 hours The temperature of the furnace was then raised to 10000 C and hydrogen flow was continued for a further 24 hours A yield of 80 per cent of the theoretical was obtained. Experimentation has shown that the speed of reduction is increased with increased flow rate and improved gas-solid contact The economies of the reduction could be improved by using a fluidized bed of vanadium tn-chloride through which is passed hydrogen in a closed cycle at a fast rate with a small make-up feed.

New monoazo dyestuffs of the benzene-azo-naphthalene series and metalcomplexes thereof




PATENT SPECIFICATION 785,345 Date of Application and filing Complete Specification: June 28, 1955. No 18670155. Application made in Switzerland on June 29, 1954. Complete Specification Published: Oct 23, 1957. Index at acceptance:-Class 2 ( 4), P 1 (A 2 A 2: D 2: F 1: Fib F 6), P 8 (A 1 A: A-IC: B 1: Cl C 2: C 3: E), P 9 A 4 B. International Classification:-CO 9 b. COMPLETE SPECIFICATION New Monoazo Dyestuffs of the Benzene-Azo=Naphthanene Series and Metal Complexes thereof We, SAN Doz LTD, of Basle, Switzerland, a Body Corporate organised according to the laws of Switzerland, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: - The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of monoazo dyestuffs and their metal complex compounds The process consists in coupling 1 mol of the diazo compound derived from a 2-amino-1-hydroxy or -methoxy-benzene with 1 mol of a 1-hydroxyacylamino 7 hydroxynaphthalene of the is formula A'/-d x -a>/yknyee -06 ' O wherein x denotes a simple linkage or -OCH 2- A preferred coupling component is 1-hydroxyacetylamino 7-hydroxynaphthalene The monoazo compounds obtained can be treated with metal-yielding agents in substance or on the fibre. The new dyestuffs in the metal-free state have the general formula Uf O wherein x has the above defined significance and R denotes a residue of the benzene series which contains a hydroxy or methoxy-group in the

ortho position to the azo linkage. For the preparation of the diazo compounds the following amines for example can be used, lPrice 3 s 6 d l 2-amino 1 hydroxybenzene, 2 amino-lhydroxy-halogenbenzenes, 2-amino-1-hydroxynitrobenzenes, 2-amino-l-hydroxy-halogennitrobenzenes, 2-amino-1-hydroxy-acylaminohalogenbenzenes, 2-amino 1-hydrox-y-acylamino-nitrobenzenes, also the large series of 2amino-l-hydroxybenzenesulphonamides, their derivatives further substituted on the nitrogen atom of the sulphonamide group by alkyl, halogenalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, aralkyl, carbocyclic and heterocyclic residues, 2-aminoponding 2-amino-1-methoxy compounds. Specially valuable are 2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-4-sulphonamide, 2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-4-sulphonmethylamide, 2-amino-1hydroxybenzene-4-sulphonic acid-( 21-hydroxy) ethylamide, 2-amino 1-hydroxybenzene-4sulphonic acid-( 31-methoxy)-propylamide, 2amino-l-hydroxybenzene 4 sulphonbenzylamide, 2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-4-sulphoncyclohexylamide and 2 amino-l-hydroxybenzene-4-sulphonphenylamide which can be further substituted on the phenylamide residue e.g by a carboxyl, acylamino, sulphonamide, sulphonmethylamide and sulphondimethylamide group united to the nucleus, and also 2-amino-1-hydroxy-4-methylsulphonylbenzene. The most important 1-hydroxyacylamino-7hydroxynaphthalenes as herein defined are 1hydroxyacetylamino-7-hydroxynaphthalene and 1-carbo-( 21-hydroxy)-ethoxyamino-7-hydroxynaphthalene They are obtained from the corresponding chloracylamino compounds by heating to high temperatures such as 160 C. in formamide. The coupling takes place advantageously in an alkaline medium; the working up and isolation of the products obtained takes place in the usual way. Wool can be treated with the metal-free monoazo dyestuffs and by an after-metallising or single-bath-metallising process gives shades which are fast to washing, milling and light. In this way blue-grey and grey to olive shades are obtained with chromium-yielding agents and blue to grey shades are obtained with cobalt-yielding agents. For the conversion of the metal-free dyestuffs into the metal-complex compounds, chromium-yielding and cobalt-yielding agents come particularly into consideration Agents of this kind are for example, salts of chromium, e g chromium fluoride, chromium sulphate, chromium formate, chromium acetate, potassium or ammonium chromium sulphate, and sodium or potassium chromate or bichromate and the salts of cobalt, e g cobalt acetate, cobalt formate and cobalt sulphate The metallisation takes place advantageously in aqueous suspension or

solution, or in an organic medium, as for example formamide or in the melt of an alkali metal salt of a lower molecular aliphatic monocarboxylic acid In the latter case, insoluble heavy metal compounds can also be used as for example cobalt hydroxide and cobalt carbonate Metallisation in aqueous caustic alkaline medium is particularly advantageous, whereby the metal salts are added in the presence of such compounds as have the property of keeping chromium and cobalt in the dissolved form in a caustic alkaline medium, as e g tartaric acid, citric acid, and lactic acid If the monoazo dyestuffs contain an ortho-hydroxy-orthol-methoxy-azo grouping, then the metalisation takes place with splitting off of the methoxy group This is carried out by heating the dyestuff to a higher temperature in an organic medium, as for example in a glycol (e g ethylene glycol, butylene glycol, ethylenepolyglycol) The metallisation of the monoazo compounds takes place in all cases in such a way that for 1 mol of the monoazo compound less than one atom of the metal is taken up In this way there are formed for example the so-called 1:2 complexes which for 2 mols of the monoazo compound contain approximately one atom of metal. The metal-containing azo dyestuffs produced are separated from the aqueous medium by addition of salt, when necessary, after pouring the organic metallising solution into water and are thereupon filtered off, washed if desired and then dried They possess an outstanding power of exhaustion for wool from neutral baths; they dye wool even from a neutral bath, and silk and Tursore from weakly acid baths in blue-grey and grey to olive shades of very good fastness to washing, milling and light. They are also suitable for dyeing leather and are suitable very especially for dyeing artificial nitrogenous fibres such as polyamide fibres W O (e g Nylon and Perlon) Their ready solubility in polar solvents such as acetone, dimethylformamide and tetrahydrofurane furthermore enables them to be used for the dyeing of artificial fibres which are spun from organic solvents (e g acetate rayon or polyester fibres). In many cases mixed metal complex compounds obtained from the metallisation of mixtures of 2 or more monoazo dyestuffs as defined in this invention surpass the single metal complex compounds in their dyeing properties 70 Mixed metal complex compounds of this kind form a further object of the present invention. The following examples illustrate the invention without limiting it Therein the parts denote parts by weight, the percentages, per 75 centages by weight and the temperatures are given in degrees Centigrade. EXAMPLE 1.

20.2 parts of 2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-4sulphonmethylamide are diazotised in a mix 80 ture of 20 parts 30 % hydrochloric acid and 100 parts of water at 0-5 with a solution of 6 9 parts of sodium nitrite in 30 parts of water. The diazo suspension is coupled at 0-5 with a solution of 22 parts of 1-hydroxyacetyl 85 amino-7-hydroxynaphthalene in 6 parts of sodium hydroxide, 20 parts anhydrous sodium carbonate, 350 parts of water and 10 parts of a technical mixture of pyridine bases The product is vigorously stirred for some hours at 90 0-5 At the end of this period the coupling is completed and the monoazo dyestuff which has separated out almost completely is isolated in the known manner In the dry and ground state it is a dark violet powder which dissolves 95 in water with a violet colour and in a concentrated sulphuric acid with a Bordeaux red colour Its dyeings on wool by the after-chroming process or the single-bath chroming process are grey and show a very good fastness to 100 washing, milling and light. The new coupling component used for the preparation of the monoazo dyestuff in this example can be obtained by heating 1-chloracetylamino-7-hydroxynaphthalene in form 105 amide for several hours at 160-180 .

EXAMPLE 3. 43 parts of the monoazo dyestuff obtained according to Example 1 are dissolved in 1,500 120 parts of water The solution is treated with 16 parts of sodium bichromate and is boiled under a reflux condenser until complex formation is ended which requires several hours The chromium-containing azo dyestuff after 125 separating out, filtering off and drying is a dark powder which dissolves in water with a blue colour and in concentrated sulphuric acid with a red colour It dyes wool, silk and synthetic polyamide fibres in blue-grey shades 130 785,345 according to Example 1 are dissolved in 800 parts of warm water, the solution is treated with a mixture of 28 2 parts of cobaltous sulphate, 7 6 parts tartaric acid, 35 parts of % sodium hydroxide solution and 350 parts of water The complex formation ensues immediately The cobalt-containing azo dyestuff is separated off, filtered off and dried It dyes wool, silk and synthetic polyamide fibres in reddish-grey shades of very good fastness properties.

EXAMPLE 7. 21.5 parts of the monoazo dyestuff obtained according to Example 1 and 23 parts of that obtained according to Example 2 are dissolved in 1,000 parts of water at 900 with the help of 30 parts of 30 % sodium hydroxide solution. The solution is treated with 80 parts of hot % aqueous cobaltous sulphate solution After complex formation is completed, the cobalt containing azo dyestuff is separated off, filtered off and dried It dyes wool, silk and synthetic polyamide fibres in blue-grey shades of excellent fastness to washing, milling and light.

The reaction proceeds readily in the presence of water and the rate of reaction and the yield of the hydrazide is influenced by the amount of water contained in the reaction mixture Relatively large amounts slow down the reaction and also result in reduced yields of the desired product It is therefore advantageous to operate in the presence of sufficient water to produce a homogeneous mixture at the temperature at D which the reaction is carried out Suitably, a quantity of water equal to the weight of the isonicotinamide charged can be used or the amount contained in concentrated commercially available hydrazine hydrate. The isonicotinamide used as starting material for the present process

may be obtained from 4-cyanopyridine with good efficiencies by treating cyanopyridine in an aqueous medium with the oxide, hydroxide or carbonate of magnesium at elevated temV. peratures as described in our co-pending Application No 8698/55, Serial No. 776,313. Instead of using the isolated isonicotinamide for the process of the invention, it is 4 possible to use the crude reaction mixture resulting from the hydrolysis of 4-cyanopyridine, as mentioned above, and containing besides isonicotinamide, ammonium isonicotinate The hydrazine is charged 54 advantageously in the form of its hydrate and it is preferred to use a slight excess, say of 10 %, over the molecular quantity required by theory. During the reaction, ammonia is liberated 5 a and the reaction is complete when the liberation of ammonia ceases. Isonicotinyl hydrazide is recovered from the reaction mixture by subjecting the mixture to distillation, preferably under 6 reduced pressure, whereby water and any free hydrazine are distilled off The pure hydrazide may be recovered from the solid residue by crystallisation, for instance from the solution in methanol or ethanol 6 The following examples illustrate the manner in which the process of the invention is carried out in practice. EXAMPLE 1. 12.2 parts of isonicotinamide ( 0 1 mole) 7 and 5 parts of 90 % solution of hydrazine hydrate ( 0 11 mole) were heated under reflux at 1000 C for seven hours, with occasional agitation After this time, the reaction mixture was distilled at 15 mm Hg 7 to remove excess of hydrazine The residue, a pale yellow solid, consisted of crude hydrazide and melted between 1630 and 1660 C. The yield was 96 5 % based on the isonicotinamide After crystallisation from 8 C785,346 1785,346 methanol, the pure hydrazide was obtained in white crystals, m p 171 -173 C Analysis by the method given in the British Pharmaceutical Codex, 1954, gave a purity of 99-100 %. When the same Quantities of isonicotinamide and hydrazine hydrate were heated under reflux with 60 parts of water under otherwise identical conditions, the hydrazide if was obtained in only 50 % yield based on the isonicotinamide and its purity was only 82 c. EXAMPLE 2. Crude isonicotinamide obtained from hydrolysis of 4-cyanopyridine with an aqueous suspension of magnesium oxide and containing 88 0 % isonicotinamide and 3 8 % ammonium isonicotinate was converted to the hydrazide in the manner shown in 2 ' Example 1 10 parts of the crude amide and parts of a 90 % aqueous solution of hydrazine hydrate were

heated under reflux with one part of water for eight hours Water and hydrazine were then removed as before, furnishing a yellow solid, m p 150-163 C, containing 85 % of hydrazide by analysis. The calculated yield of hydrazide on the amide used was thus 100 % Crystallisation from methanol furnished a product with a 98 %' purity and a melting point of 171 ' C.

International Classification: -1 BO 4 b F 26 b. COMPLETE SPECIFICATION Installation for the Dehydration of Sludges We, VEREINIGTE ALUMINIUM WERICE AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, a Body Corporate organised under the Laws of Germany, of Am Nordbahnhof, Bonn-on-the-Rhine, Germany, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: - This invention relates to an installation for the dehydration in

stages of cryolite sludges or similar fine sludges. In the production of cryolite, cryolite is precipitated from the aqueous phase, for example by the combination of sodium ana aluminium salt solutions, possibly with the addition of acids or lyes Only under certain conditions which cannot always be applied, such as elevated pressure, is it possible to precipitate the cryolite with a large grain size in a readily filterable form In general it is not always possible to work under such conditions, in view of practical considerations in operation, so that in most processes used at present, a fine crystalline cryolite sludge is obtained which does not very readily settle and which is difficult to filter The dehydration of these fine sludges and, in particular, of those cryolite sludges which originate from the working up of tar-containing gas scrubbing lyes from the electrolysis of aluminium, presents great difficulties At present these lyes, which have a solids content of about 2 to 4 % are concentrated by sedimentation of the cryolite in large containers to a content of about 10 % of solids In order to concentrate the cryolite suspension to this content in a container having a capacity of cubic metres, however, 4 to 8 days are needed The filtration of this concentrate also causes further difficulties inasmuch as the filter cake rapidly becomes impermeable to water and the application of vacuum or pressure also rapidly terminates filtration It is therefore possible to work only with very small filter cake layers and correspondingly large filter surfaces, but even in that case a thick P 1 ice 3 s 6 d l 1 've 4 si 21 sludge still containing 50 to 70 u/, of moisture, and therefore only 50 to 30 % of solids, is obtained When working in this way, a large 50 container space is therefore required, while the dehydration of the cryolite proceeds extremely slowly, requiring a great deal of manual work and large filter surfaces, and nevertheless in the end yields a cryolite sludge 55 having a high water content In addition, a cryolite sludge having this high moisture content still contains a considerable amount of salts, particularly sulphates dissolved in the residual lye which then pollute the dried cryo 60 lite in an undesirable manner and greatly reduce its value Only by very complicated final washing is it possible when working in the afore-described manner to reduce the amount of these impurities contained in the 65 sludge. The present inevntion provides an installation for the dehydration in stages of very fine sludge, especially cryolite sludges comprising a container for the sludge to be dehyd 70 rated, a continuously operating centrifuge containing a stack of liner plates, means for conveying concentrated sludge from said centrifuge to a batch operating centrifuge from which sludge is adapted to be intermittently 75 discharged by means of a knife or scraper, a drying furnace and

means for transferring sludge separated by said batch operating centrifuge to said drying furnace. A continuously operating centrifuge having 80 a nozzle outlet and a sludge worm can advantageously be used in the first stage. The batch operating centrifuge to be used in the second stage consists essentially of a drum into which the incoming sludge is intro 85 duced with the aid of a lateral tube For the purpose of withdrawing the liquid from this centrifuge use is made of a paring tube and a paring knife is used to discharge the residue the paring tube and paring knife being moved 90 along the wall of the drum by means of an oil hydraulic system A centrifuge having sieve walls can advantageously be used, that is to say, a centrifuge the drum walls of which consist of a sieve bed over which a filter cloth is stretched so that a filtration effect is obtained together with the separation of the sludge. If, for example, the starting material is a cryolite sludge containing 2 to 5 % of solids, it is possible to concentrate the centent of solids in the first stage to about 20 to 3 G%, while after the second stage solid contents of to 70 %O are obtained Since the amount of soluble impurities remaining with the isesidual moisture is also reduced at the same time, it is possible in this way to produce a substantially purer cryolite, particularly one having a lower sulphate content. It has been found particularly advantageous to deliver the sludge discharged from the batch-operating centrifuge to the drying oven mechanically by means of a pump, for example a pump known under the Registered Trade Mark "Mono," This pump consists of a pipe having a single worm thread, in which a rotor constructed as a two-threaded worm rotates excentrically. The sludge is supplied by means of this pump to a drying apparatus, fox which purpose a rotating drum having simultaneous concurrent flow and counterfiow firing and sprinkling inserts has given particularly good results. It is well known that when cryolite is dried by direct heating, a certain amount of cryolite is lost with the outgoing gas in the form of flue dust. In a further development of the invention, the dust and hydrogen fluoride passing out with the outgoing gas from the furnace can be separated and recycled by using a suction fan with the injection of water or lye, followed by a wet cyclone In the case of high dust contents in the outgoing gas, previous dry removal of dust, for example, in a cyclone, has been found convenient. One embodiment of an arrangement m accordance with the present invention is illustrated diagrammatically and by way of example in the

accompanying drawing. Freshly precipitated cryolite sludge 2, having a solid content of about 3 to 5 %, for example, is contained in a container 1 The cryolite sludge 2 passes through a pipe 3 and pump 4 to a continuously operating centrifuge 5 containing a stack of liner plates and which is indicated only diagrammatically in the drawing The cryolite lye, free from solids, accruing in the centrifuge 5 is discharged through a pipe 6, while the sludge separated, having a solid content of for example 20 to 30 %, is passed by way of a pipe 7 and pump 8 to a batch-operating centrifuge 9 from which sludge is intermittently discharged by means of a knife or scraper When treating sludges having a uniform concentration of solids, the non-continuous centrifuge 9 can also be entirely automatically controlled, so that in practice for the operation of the entire plant, including the drying furnace only one or two men per shift is or are required with a monthly throughput of for example 250 tons of cryolite. In the batch-operating centrifuge, which as shown, has imperforate walls, three layers 70 are normally found, the cryolite sludge lying directly on the walis of the drum and having a solid content of about 60 to 70 (% Directly therein lies a turbid lye merging therewithn, while the clear lye follows in the next layer 75 T 1 he turbid lye can be drawn off separately and returned through a pipe 10 to the container 1 The clear lye, on the other hand, is withdrawn through a pipe 11 The cryolite sludge is discharged by means of a paring 80 knife and delivered to a small bunker 12 which is situated directly in front of the centrifuge and from which the paste-like cryolite sludge is pumped to a drying oven 14 by means of a thick sludge pump 13 85 The drying furnace, as previously mentioned, has at its inlet end 15 concurrent flow heating and at its outlet end 16 counterflow heating, these flows referring to the path of the cryolite sludge The cryolite discharged 90 at the outlet end 16 contains less than 0 5 % of water The outgoing gas is drawn off by a blower 18 through a pipe 17 and subjected to dry removal of dust in a cyclone 19, while the remaining dust and hydrogen fluoride are 95 recovered by the injection of water into the blower 18 followed by separation in a wet cyclone 20 This lye containing solids is returned to the container 1 through a pipe 21. This mode of operation has the following 100, advantages: 1) The sludge obtained has a substantially lower water content than hitherto. 2) In the drying of the sludge there can thus be a considerable saving of heating power 105 3) It is possible to work with a very small container space. 4) Losses of solids occur neither during the concentration of the sludge nor during the drying 110 5.) There is a saving of filter surface, power, and operating labour.

6) The resulting cryolite has a higher degree of purity and in particular is less contaminated by water-soluble sulphates 115
