Definitions

  • My invention is intended to provide an improved furnace for chloridizing silver-ores preparatory to amalgamation.
  • This furnace is constructed with a shaft, the fall of the ore through which is retarded by the upward motion of the heated air and chloridizinggases combined with a fire-place, opening into a canal4l below the flue.
  • Ane at the top of the shaft allows the gases to pass into a series of dust-chambers, connected with a chimney.
  • B represents the perpendicular shaft of the furnace, covered at the top with the iron plate E, through the slits a a a, in which the pulp or pulverized ore and salt are continuously fed by rollers.
  • C is the fire-place, nearthe lower end of the shaft, from which the flame and gases pass up the shaft B, and through lthe flue D and H', into the dustchambers I I.
  • J is the small fire-place, at the upper end of the shaft, opening below the tlue D, into its continuation H', which may be constructed
  • the ore is chloridized which is too fme and light to fall down the shaft B.
  • the ore is fed, in continuous streams, through the slits a a a in the iron plate E.
  • the roasted ore is allowed to accumulate in the bottom of the shaft nearly up to the fire-bridge of the fire-place G. This is very important, as a great amount of chlorine, h vdrochlorine acid, and volatile chlorides emanates from the charge, and acts upon the falling ore in the shaft. If the ore accumulates too much, a. part is discharged through the doorm, but so as to allow no cold air to enter the shaft.
