The Iron Age A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. Published every Thursday Morning by Davip Witttams, No. 83 Reade Street, New York. Duryer’s Petroleum Furnace. [ron making with petroleum has lately attracted considerable attention,. and we have, in a recent issue, given a brief account of the process as conducted by the Pough- keepsie Iron and Steel Company, New York. We illustrate this week Mr. Duryee’s petroleum furnace, from the engravings of which it will be seen that the petroleum is blown into the furnace, in the form of spray, by a current of air. It is ignited by the fire in the furnace 5, and the intense heat which results is utilized in reducing the ores. The weight of the furnace here shown is about 100 tons, its length being 120 feet and its inclination 5 feet. It is capable of reducing about 4 tons of ore per hour. In our engrav- ings, A is a longitudinal section ; B is a sec- tion along the line A’ B’, showing the furnace door and the nozzle through which the air blast is forced (see Fig. 3, page 3); and C is atop view. The revolving cupola is desig- nated by number 1. while 2 and 3 repre-' O Vol. XXIX: No. 6. friction rollers, 20; the upper or reducing chamber of the cupola is supported in a simi- lar manner. The fuel furnace 5 is supported by rails, 32, resting on columns some 7 feet above the ground. The manner of operating is as follows: A coal fire started on the grate in the fuel furnace 5, is continued until the furnace is white hot ; coal dust is then intro- duced freely through 7, while petroleum is allowed to enter through the pipe 17. The valves 25, 26 and 27 are next opened, and a compound oxyhydrogen blow-pipe flame, from 20 to 40 feet long, enters the cupola through the nozzle 4. The flame is deflected upward by the bridge 4, thus protecting the blooms from the action of the oxidizing flame. The iron ore, introduced through the funnel 23, should be mixed with a proper proportion of burned lime, or preferably 2 per cent. feldspar. About 250 pounds of coal dust should be used per ton of ore introduced The great length of the furnace is the secret of its success in reducing ores, and since the intense heat produces a 19 sent the puddling hearths, feet wide and about 8 feet long current, together with the petrole through the furnace 5° an inclined nozzle 4 into the cupola. furnace is supplied with coal dust for reduc- ing ores by means of the feeding arrange- ment 7, the supply oane regulated by a valve, 8, provided with a lever and sliding weight, 11. This lever is so connected with the revolving cupola that, for each revolution, the valve 8 is opened, admitting a certain quantity of fuel. The blooms of iron may be removed through the door 13, which, when required, is closed by a sliding door, 14, made of fire-clay and working against a water jacket, 15, water being supplied by the pipe 15’. The flue 19, besides carrying away the products of com- bustion, serves to heat the air passing | jin through the pipe 18. The blast is pregeees by a blower capable of delivering about four tons of air per hour, and the air currents eater the furnace through the pipes 9, 10 and 16; 25, 26 and 27 are valves in the air-blast pipes.

[he iron can be produced by this process. in one instanee, the estimated heat required: about 4000° F., ora flame 70 feet in length. The lining of the | upper part of Mr. Duryee’s furnace consists of fire-brick, while the puddling cylinder is lined with plumbago, with a facing of titan- iferous ore, resisting a temperature of nearly 5000° F. Probably the largest bloomery in the world, aoudion to use Mr. Duryee’s furnace, is now being established in Mon- treal, Canada, the capital amounting to nearly $1,000,000, According to Mr. Duryee, the success of the furnace largely Copeate upon ite length, and he states that the latter will ly be 200 feet at no distant date. Mr, ee has also demonstrated that all yeneaa metals are volatile, and one of his urnaces in Colorado is now distilling metels from their ores. The process of condensa- tion, though novel, is said to be successful. In the report of the expert who tested the furnace for Montreal capitalists it is said : ‘In the run of 4 tons of mixed ores and fluxes the reduction was complete, as shown The produc- blooms were found to contain .06 per cent. | tion of about fifteen hundred pounds of carbon and .o15 per cent. of phosphorus.

Muct as we may deplore such consequences, it indeed they are truly depicted we have son to call in question the bungling diplom by which it was sought to avert them a that there is no possibility of a loss. The heat when required is so quickly produced and can be so entirely kept under control that the present evils and expenses attached to blooming out blast furnaces are quite done away with.” The purity of the iron pro- duced by Mr. Duryee’s process renders it specially desirable for boiler plates. The satisfactory results derived from experiments conducted with the furnace confirm the success of using petroleum in iron-making, and iron- masters will undoubtedly look forward to further developments with increased interest. Working drawings of the furnace may be seen at Mr. Duryee’s office, 176 Broadway, New York. Cable Road in Chieago.—The eb! road on State street, Chicago, was put in operation January 28.

Mr. Wood, after re- ferring to the enormous quantities of slag annually produced, and after passing in review other slags produced in many metal- | described the nature of and detailed the uses for which it has and is still, largely employed. It was used for road making for a number of years, and, lately, the construc- tion of breakwaters has exhausted large quantities. In the manufacture of slag cast ings there has been one successful exception to the numerous failures, and by acompound process it may be converted into glass for | bottle making. A chemical analysis of the chief slags produced in Great Britain was given, the analysis showing that the three most important component parts of these slags were silica, alumina and lime, which formed about go per cent. of the whole. The | sil latter of these, however, chiefly exist as | silicates If to these caustic lime be added, the silicates are acted upon, and if the material be kept damp and exposed to the air, hardening is carried on for months. If caustic lime be added to slags poor in lime, so as to bring this element up to 55 or 60 per cent., it would be seen at once how closely it resembled the analysis of Portland lurgical operations, blast-furna ce slag, been, cement, the composition of which is: Lime, 60 per cent. ; silica, 24 per cent. ; alumina, 8 per cent. ; oxide of iron, 4 per cent. It ap- peared an absolute necessity for obtaining good results that the ferruginous material roasted, be calcined or the effect of which Duryee’s Petroleum Furnace.—Fig. 3.—Sec- tion through A’ B’, Fig. 2. was to drive off the carbonic acid and water ; and the reabsorption of the water, which united in chemical combination with the material, afterward assisted in hardening. The speaker proceeded to say that the most important production, and the one which consumed by far the greatest quantity of slag, were bricks—known in the market as slag bricks—made from the sand produced by tbe slag-sand machine which he described. The bricks produced (by the pro- cess described) were very tough, would not split when a nail was driven into them, were easily cut, would not break in transit, and were impervious to frost. According to a certificate received from Kirkaldy’s testing works, some of these bricks, taken from stock three years old, carried a pressure of twenty-one tons before crushing, while others only four months old were crushed with nine tony pressure, showing not only great tough- but also that they greatly improved by The weight of these bricks was about ent. lighter than ordinary red ones— x 2% inches—weighing only 2 { tons per thousand. Another interesting feature was the economy in manufacture. The pro- cess of brickmaking, as now carried on, was extremely simple and inexpensive. The next product mentioned was that of slag cement. The word cement had sometimes been ob- jected to in connection with this material, because it was generally manufactured in a wet state, and had to be used within a few hours of its being made. Upon this point he expressed no opinion, simply mentioning the fact that in point of strength he found little difference whether the materials were ground together in a dry or in a wet state. The cost of production, however, was, as nearly as possible, four to one in favor of the wet state. It was made by grinding under edge runners for about an hour (the finer the better) 70 per cent. of slag sand, 15 per cent. of common lime, and 15 per cent. of iron oxides, calcined ironstone, or spent pyrites. It required longer to set than Port- land cement, and was, perhaps, not quite so hard ; but there was a remarkable toughness which had surprised all those who had used it, and this toughness made it valuable for heavy machinery foundations, &0.; and when made in proximity to the furnaces the cost of the cement did not exceed 6/ per ton, while concrete made of this cement and slag shingle cost only 5/6 per cubic yard. These prices were absolute figures of cost, and he knew of no material at a similar price which could compete with it. Slags from the fur naces making Bessemer iron were better adapted for this cement even than those from the Cleveland ores. Mortar for build- ing purposes was also an ther material sup- concrete hess, age 30 perc 9x 4% plied at the Cleveland Slag Works. It was simply made by grinding the slag sand with about 6 per cent. of slaked lime in an ordinary mortar mill, and (if ground fine made a far better mortar than was generally employed by builders. As with the other slag products, its remarkable strength and cheapness combined made it much liked b y those who, in close proximity to the works, obtain it freshiy made. One other manufacture from slag was car- ried on at the Cleveland Slag Works, which, although it did not consume much, was still of interest, viz. , artificial stone. It is molded into chimey pieces, window heads and sills, wall coping and other ornamental work for builders. The stone is composed of two and one-half parts of Portland cement, and two and one-half parts of finely pulverized slag. The mixture is runinto molds and the articles are ready for market in five or six days. A material containing so much lime, silica, Voeleker reported that the result f his « i amination showed that it may be usefully e: i vu | ployed upon moorland and peat, ag {\ i) its application as a fertilizer for some kinds of land.
