Destructive distillation

Abstract

The stills are preferably mounted in pairs with a fireplace between them, the flues from which circulate under the stills. By means of a damper either still can be cut off from communication with the fire. The still is preferably set in a pan or vessel of iron, the space between the bottom of the still and the vessel being filled with sand, water, or other material. The still is provided with a perforated plate or false bottom beneath which is introduced a steam pipe, another steam pipe being led into the upper part of the still. A quantity of Kimmeridge shale or other material is put into one of the stills, the fire is made to act on it, and superheated steam is blown in. The oils and waxy materials pass into the worm in the vessel, which is surrounded by some absorbent material kept wet by water from a tank. While one still is at work the other is being emptied and recharged, so that the evolution of volatile matter is continuous.
