摘要:
An absorption tower for absorbing sulphur trioxide in sulphuric acid having a spray chamber wherein a major portion of sulphur trioxide is absorbed by a sulphuric acid spray and a packed absorption zone wherein remaining sulphur trioxide is absorbed into sulphuric acid. The spray chamber is optionally provided externally of the tower. Tower provides improved heat transfer and reduced corrosion within the tower.

A water-in-wax emulsion explosive composition is provided wherein the continuous carbonaceous fuel phase comprises paraffin wax together with a minor amount of a rheology modifier and stabilizer combination comprising an ethylene-containing polymer and a low molecular weight hydrocarbon liquid. The resulting explosive composition exhibits properties of viscosity and stability comparable to similar compositions containing highly refined microcrystalline wax fuels.

A method and apparatus is provided for cartridging viscous explosives mixtures, such as emulsion explosives, in convohety wound paper tubes. The method comprises winding a section of paper film on a rotating hollow mandrel, closing one end of the wound paper tube, injecting the explosives mixture through the hollow mandrel into the paper tube upon the mandrel, removing the filled tube from the mandrel and closing the tube open end. The method replaces higher cost plastic chub packages with low cost paper and allows the efficient and economic production of sensitive small-diameter cartridges wherein the occluded air or gas is not dissipated cartridging.

摘要:
Apparatus for concentrating an aqueous, corrosive electrically conductive liquid, characterised inthat it comprises: (a) an evaporator vessel adapted to contain said liquid at a selected level, (b) a thermosyphon loop connected to said evaporator vessel, said loop having first and second legs each having a top and bottom separated by a substantial vertical distance, the top of said first leg being connected to said vessel below said level, the top of said second leg being connected to said vessel slightly above, approximately at or below said level, the bottom of said first leg being connected to the bottom of said second leg, (c) at least two spaced electrode structures located in ' said second leg and each electrode structure containing an I electrode of substantially inert material adapted to receive ' electric power from a power supply, each electrode being adapted to contact the liquid in said second leg, said elec-I trode structures being spaced substantially below said level, (d) means for supplying electric power to said electrodes at a rate such as to cause boiling of said liquid entirely above said electrodes, (e) and means connected to said second leg for supplying a gas thereto at a pressure and flow sufficient to ensure circulation of -said liquid in said loop when said electric power is supplied to said electrodes and to stabilize said circulation, and process for electrothermally concentrating a corrosive electrically conductive liquid located in an evaporator vessel by boiling said liquid characterised by circulating said liquid downwardly from said vessel and then upwardly back to said vessel in a thermosyphon loop having a first leg for downwardly flowing liquid and a second leg for upwardly flowing liquid, electrically heating the liquid in said second leg of said loop by passing current into said liquid in said second leg from electrodes located in said second leg below the level of said liquid in said vessel, regulating the heating of said liquid to cause boiling to occur only above the level of said electrodes, and injecting gas into said second leg to ensure circulation of said liquid in said thermosyphon loop and to stabilize said circulation.
