INDEX TO READING MATTER, PAGE 2%. in Account of a Chemical Laboratory “ prected at Wyandotte, Mich., in the year 1863.* BY W. F. DURFEE, In the year 1862 the author of this paper -as called upon to design and superintend ‘he erection and working of the machinery fan experimental works for the production * steel by a process discovered by Mr. Wil- 2 These works were located at Wyandotte, Mich. Mr. Kelley’s invention was, as is now well understood by all who are familiar with metallurgical matters, ‘jentical in principle with that which is now now n all over the world as the ‘‘ Bessemer xocess.” Wery soon after entering upon the ‘tudy of the theory of the process (for prac- ‘ioe at that date in this country there was none) it became evident to me that an accu- rate knowledge of the chemical constituents ¢ the metals and other materials employed was essential to its successful conduct. I -easoned that as all pig irons did not form the basis of equally good wrought irons, so there was no probability of uniformly good steel being produced from miscellaneous pig metal; and, further, that while in the then state of our knowledge it would be impossi- ble to predict from chemical analysis just what was the best iron for the new process, it would be possible, after having demon- strated by experimental working that certain irons were and others were not suited for our purpose, to make an analytical compari- son of them, the result of which would bea permanent guide for future operations, en- abling us to determine by analysis and com- parison whether any offered brand of iron was of suitable quality, thus saving a large outlay for direct experiment in the ‘ con- verter,” and serving as a check upon the running of the blast furnace, as well as a guide in the purchase of metal and other materials. These considerations, and others of an administrative character, determined the construction of a chemical laboratory as an adjunct to the works. The importance of athorough knowledge of the chemistry of the new process, and the necessity for a laboratory in close promixity to the proposed works to facilitate the attainment of such knowledge, was promptly recognized, and the construction of the laboratory cordially approved by the late Z. S. Durfee, who was acting as secretary of the parties in interest (of whom he was one), and in the spring of the year 1863 he secured the services of Mr. Emile Schalk, a native of Germany, and a graduate of the Ecole Centrale of Paris, as chemist. Mr. Schalk purchased a stock of chemicals, together with necessary glass- ware and other apparatus for use in the aboratory, but as the building was not com- pleted when he reached Wyandotte, he, at the request of the late Capt. E. B. Ward, assisted in the organization of an exploring party, which he accompanied to Northern Wisconsin ; the result ot this expedition was the discovery of a number of deposits of iron ve. On Mr. Schalk’s return in October 1863), the laboratory being finished, he at once proceeded to analyze the samples of the ores he had discovered. I am able to give his analysis of four of these samples. Sample 1. Sample 3. f liam Kelley.

Mr. Schalk’s abilities I had the highest stimation, and I very much regretted his arture from Wyandotte. Having de- ribed the inception and initial work of the vandotte Laboratory, I will now call your ittention to its arrangement, and also to| wrought iron, 1e of the apparatus employed. As shown the plan (Fig. 1), the main building was mt 24 feet square; it was divided by a irtition into two rooms, A and B, of equal e, which communicated by adoorat Z. At rear of this building was a lean-to shed, which was entered from without by the wd, and from within by the door x, com- inicating with the room A, at the opposite 1 of which was placed the entrance door y. Che room A was used for genera! analyt- il work ; it was provided with three work les, the requisite shelving for reagents d apparatus, a large pair of balances, a nd-bath furnace having a hot-water reser- ir attached, a small assay furnace, a sink, abundant supply of water and an oxy- drogen blow-pipe, the gas holders of which ere located at OO H. The room B was pro- led with a stove, a desk, assay balances, lving for specimens of minerals and etals, a work table having a case of shelves ove it, at the end of which, at P, was * Read at the Troy meeting (October, 1883) of the nerican Institute of Mining Engineers. New placed an apparatus by which permanganate of potassa was used for determining the amount of metallic iron in a solution of its protochloride by titration. Of the construc- the details. The rooms A and B were about 18 feet in hight and were amply lighted by the windows W. In the corner of the lean-to shed C was placed a ‘‘ melting hole” receive a pot containing 70 pounds of melted metal. For convenience the top of this melt- ing hole was placed on a level with the floor of the shed, and blast was supplied from the blowing engines of a neighboring furnace by means of an underground pipe. In the room C was kept a stock of crucibles, the tongs and other tools used for working the melting hole, an anvil, hammers of several sizes, an iron mortar and pestle, and sundry supplies, such as clay, sand, charcoal, &c. BLAST PIPE Fig. 2.—Side Elevation of Sand Bath Furnace. Fig. 3.—End Elevation, Fig CHEMICAL The sand-bath furnace was located in one corner of the room A (Fig. 1). Its construe tion is illustrated in Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The basin S for holding the sand was made of % inch in thickness. The water in the copper reservoir R was kept at or near the boiling point by the waste heat from the fire at F. The reservoir was pro- vided with a cock, K, for drawing off its con- tents. Twodrying ovens, O, of copper were imbedded in the brickwork. The inclosed space above the sand bath was provided with weighted sashes on its front and right- hand end, and was ventilated at its top by an opening into the chimney flue. This construction of sand bath was found to be very convenient. The permanganate of potassa apparatus is illustrated in Fig. 7. Though the same in principle, it is not of the precise construction as that used at Wyandotte, but contains some improvements, the result of experience, which render it more substantial and con venient. The apparatus consists of a large two-necked bottle, A, for holding the per manganate solution, to the left-hand neck | of which is adapted a glass tube, T, which extends nearly to the bottom of the bottle, | its upper end being tapered and curved so tion of this apparatus I shall presently give | large enough to | LABORATORY | the ‘*burette ” in a stream whose flow is easily | | ter of the upper end of the graduated ‘* burette” B. This ‘‘ burette” is supported by the clamps C, C, from which it can readily be removed for cleaning ; its lower end is provided with a pinch-cock, K, having |a glass adjutage, J. When the apparatus is | not in use there is a piece of plate glass, G, | interposed between the top of the ‘‘ burette’’ | B and the outer end of the tube T; this effectually prevents dust from entering either the ‘‘burette” or the tube. To ihe | right-hand neck of the bottle A is fitted a | tube, U, whose inner end communicates with the space above the solution in the bottle, and after passing through the cork, and curving through an angle of 180’, it de- |scends perpendicularly, and passes through | the cork in the left-hand neck of the small two-necked bottle S, into the space above the concentrated sulphurie acid, with which the bottle is nearly filled.

From the “ burette ” ride of iron contained in the beaker V, rapidly or slowly, as the rate of oxidation requires. The apparatus described, when once arranged and provided with a properly standardized solution, is more available and convenient than any other within my knowl edge intended for a similar purpose. At the time of which I am speaking, among the many practical questions that were presented for solution, that relative to the material for lining the converting vessel was a most difficult and important one. The requisites for a good lining appeared to me to be these : 1. It should at the outset be of a plastic or semi-plastic nature, to facilitate its solid compression between the brickwork in the converter and a removable core. 8.—Elevation of Gas-Holders, WATER SUPPLY ).—Top View of Gas-Holders, MICH., IN 1863. 2. Its composition should be such as to admit of its being baked in place into a solid mass 3. This mass should have sufficient cohe- | sion to resist the mechanical erasive action of the air pump P, which is supported by a| couple of screw-eyes, e e, At such a distance from the wainscoting as to admit of the When we wish to fill the ‘‘ burette ” with the permanganate solution we proceed as | follows: The glass plate G is removed, and the air pump P is worked, thus forcing air, by way of the tube «, into and through the concentrated sulphuric acid in the bottle S; this acid arrests all the moisture and organic matter in the air, which then passes through the tube U into the space above the per- manganate solution in the bottle A; as the pressure increases the permanganate rises in tube T, and finally runs into the controlled by the more or less rapid work- ing of the air pump P;; in fact, as the level | of the solution in the ‘‘ burette” approaches the zero of its graduation, the stream can be made to resolve itself into a series of rapidly succeeding drops, which can be that its extremity is directly above the cen- | promptly arrested by stopping the action of of the verter. 4.

It should oppose a maximum resistance tothe fluxing action of the highly heated me tallic oxides and other impurities in the con verter. Experimenting in the converter with ma terials for linings I was sure would be very expensive, and, in the event of frequent failures, discouraging ; it was, therefore, desirable to have as little of this as possible, and, with a view of throwing all obtainable light upon the question, I determined to in stitute a series of experiments on materials for converter linings in the laboratory. It was clearly possible to bake in a melting pot or a reverberatory furnace small bricks or balls of any combination of refractory ma terials, and these could be compared “as to their friability and fusibility. It was evi dent that, in order to correctly compare the fusibility of the | the permanganate solution can be drawn by the pinch-cock K into the solution of protochlo- various combinations, it \ INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS, | PAGE 35. 84.50 a Year, Including Fostage.

The difficulty of se- curing a uniform temperature by the use of any kind of solid fuel appeared to be in- surmountable, and I therefore decided to use some form of gas blow-pipe; but, there not being any gas works in the town, it became necessary to select some form of gaseous fuel that could be readily produced of uniform quality in the laboratory. I could think of | no combustible gas that could be generated {in a state of uniform purity by the means at my command as easily as hydrogen, but in order to get the highest temperature attain- | able by its use it was necessary to employ j}oxygen in connection with it. In short, I was naturally led by the character of the | proposed investigations and the nature of my environment to the employment of the oxy-hydrogen blow-pipe.” But the oxy- hydrogen blow-pipe as to that date con- structed was, for my purposes, defective in }one particular, viz.: No form of it with which I was acquainted had any certain pro- vision by which the two gases employed could be sent to the point of combustion in exactly their combining proportions—two volumes of hydrogen with one volume of oxygen—and unless that result was attained the temperature of the blow-pipe flame would necessarily be variable, and no two experi- ments could be fairly compared. This consideration caused me to devise what I believe to be a novel method of as- suring the proper combination of the two gases, end it is to this feature, as well as to the general character of the apparatus for holding them, that I now ask your attention. The two gas-holders, H, O (Fig. 8), intended respectively for hydrogen and oxygen, were made of galvanized iron. They were each strengthened by two circumferential bands of the same metal, and additional strength was given the hydrogen holder by a bolt which united the centers of its ends. The two gas-holders were of the same hight, but their respective diameters were such that the area of a cross-section of H was twice that of a similar section of O. The gas-holders stand upon the cover of a shallow cistern, C, which, when the appa- ratus is in use, is filled with water. The gas-holders were supplied with water from an elevated reservoir by pipes, P, P’, which, passing air-tight through their tops, extended nearly to their bottoms. The rate of admis- sion of the water to each gas-holder was ad- justed by the valves I, I’; its function was to expel the gas from the holders through the small rubber tubes H', O' attached tothe regulating valves X, X'. Each of the gas- holders was provided with a glass water- gauge tube, T, T', having valves, a, a’, b, b', by closing which communication between each tube and the interior of the gas-holder to which it was attached could be cut off. Near the bottom of the gas-holders were lo- eated two cocks, V, V' and Y, Y', each of the latter having attached short pieces of tubing, which extended nearly to the bottom of the water in the cistern C before named. This cistern is provided with a tubular overflow plug Z, which, when in place, determined the maximum depth of water in the cistern, and by the removal of which the cistern could be emptied. Before describing the operation of the ap- paratus I will explain the method by which the holders were filled with gas, and for that purpose will ask you to suppose that we are about to fill the holder H with hydrogen. We first uncouple the rubber tube H' from the valve x, which we then open, as also the valves a and b, and make sure that the cocks V and Y are closed ; we then open the valve I and allow the water to fill the gas-holder, the air in which being expelled at the open valve x’, but as soon as the water manifests itself at that valve it is closed, as also the valve I. The air having thus been expelled |} and the gas-holder filled with water, we now | couple to the cock V one end of an iron | pipe, whose other end is connected with the apparatus for generating the gas, care being | taken that some point in this pipe is consid- erably higher than the top of the gas holder. All the connections being properly made and the generator at work, we open the cocks V and Y, and as the gas enters the holder it displaces the water therein, which finds an exit through the cock Y into the cistern C, and finally over the top of the tubular plug Z into the drain-pipe, in which the plug is inserted ; thus a certain depth of water is maintained in the cistern C, and as the pipe attached to the cock Y extends nearly to the | bottom of this water, all air is prevented from entering the gas-holder during the pro cess of filling it with gas. The rate at which the gas enters the holder is indicated by the descent of the water in the glass tube T, and the final completion of the filling process by bubbles of gas rising through the water in the from the lower end of the tubular extension of the cock Y ; when these bubb'es make their appearance the cocks V and Y are closed, the iron-pipe connection to cistern C, the gas generator disconnected, and after coupling the rubber tube H' to the valve x the gas-holder H is ready for use. The gase holder O 1s tilled in the same manner with oxyvyven. When this apparatus is used we proceed as follows; The valves I I’ are opened to their fullest extent in order to equalize the press (Continued on Page 5.) rr : PP THE IRON AGE5. ‘The Plume &Atwood | ANSONIA BRASS & COPPER CO., No. 19 Cliff Street, NEW YORK, Mfg.
