摘要:
IN A CONVENTIONAL MERCURY CELL FOR PRODUCING CHLORINE AND SODIUM HYDROXIDE FROM BRINE, THE MERCURY FLOWS THROUGH THE CELL DURING ELECTROLYSIS AND PICKS UP SODIUM TO FORM AN AMALGAM. THE AMALGAM LEAVES THE CELL AND IS PUMPED OR ALLOWED TO FLOW THROUGH A SEAL INTO A DECOMPOSER OR "DENUDER" WHICH IS SEPARATE FROM THE CELL. IN THE PRESENT INVENTION BOTH THE ELECTROLYSIS OF THE BRINE AND THE DECOMPOSING OF THE AMALGAM ARE CARRIED OUT IN THE SAME CELL. THE INVENTION IS BASED UPON THE UTILIZATION OF A STATIONARY FILM OR LAYER OF MERCURY AND A NONAMALGAMABLE, ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE, POROUS MEMBER SUCH AS GRAPHITE WHICH IS IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE MERCURY LAYER.

Process for preparing magnesium nitrate hexahydrate without the need for filtering aids. A process for preparing magnesium nitrate hexahydrate essentially comprises: (a) forming a magnesium oxide or magnesium carbonate suspension in melted magnesium nitrate hexahydrate at a suspension temperature in excess of 90.degree. C.; (b) adding a nitric acid solution to the suspension while stirring thereby forming a reaction mixture containing additional magnesium nitrate hexahydrate; (c) filtering the liquid reaction mixture to obtain a clear magnesium nitrate hexahydrate filtrate; (d) discharging as product a part, corresponding to the amount of magnesium oxide or magnesium carbonate introduced, of the liquid magnesium nitrate hexahydrate obtained as clear filtrate; (e) utilizing the remaining part as liquid medium for the conversion of magnesium oxide or magnesium carbonate with nitric acid. Thermally stabilized ammonium nitrate containing granules may also be prepared containing magnesium nitrate hexahydrate according to the above process.

A METHOD OF RECYCLING ION EXCHANGE REGENERANT CHEMICALS WICH COMPRISES ELECTROLYZING THE REGENERANT CHEMICALS IN A THREE-COMPARTMENT CELL IN A MANNER SUCH THAT THE CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM, AND OTHER IMPURITY METAL IONS ARE PRECIPITATED AND CAN BE REMOVED. THE RESULTING SODIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION IS THEN RECYCLED INTO THE SYSTEM.
