摘要:
Process for the manufacture of potassium nitrate in the ion exchange method by reaction of nitric acid with potassium ions of a cation exchanger and recharging of the exchanger bed, characterized in that the water filled exchanger bed is supplied with a series of five feed groups, the third group being composed of the nitric acid process feed, the fifth group being composed of pure water, and wherein from the exchanger bed there is won a series of five withdrawn groups, the third withdrawn group comprising the potassium nitrate product of the ion exchange, the second, fourth, and fifth withdrawn groups being reused as, respectively, said first, second, and fourth feed groups.
摘要:
THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE IS DIRECTED TO AN APPARATUS FOR STORING, FEEDING AND CONVEYING A LIQUID FRACTION WHICH COMPRISES A PLURALITY OF PRESSURE-RESISTANT, GAS-TIGHT STORAGE TANKS, DISTRIBUTOR CHANNEL MEANS DISPOSED ABOVE SAID STORAGE TANKS AND DIVIDED INTO A NUMBER OF COMPARTMENTS CORRESPONDING TO THE NUMBER OF SAID STORAGE TANKS, A DISTRIBUTING SYSTEM CONTAINING A FIRST LIQUID FEED LINE ASSOCIATED THEREWITH FOR INTRODUCING THE LIQUID FRACTION INTO SAID COMPARTMENTS, SECOND LIQUID FEED LINE MEANS FOR PROVIDING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EACH COMPARTMENT AND A STORAGE TANK, RESERVOIR MEANS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORAGE TANKS, EXHAUST LINE MEANS PROVIDING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EACH OF THE STORAGE TANKS AND THE RESERVOIR MEANS, MEASURING MEANS DISPOSED IN THE RESERVOIR MEANS FOR MEASURING A PREDETERMINED MINIMUM LEVEL IN SAID RESERVOIR, GAS FEED LINE MEANS PROVIDING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE STORAGE TANKS AND A SOURCE OF PRESSURIZED GAS, SWITCH MEANS IN OPERATIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE MEASURING
MEANS AND SAID SOURCE OF GAS PRESSURE FOR SUPPLYING A PRESSURIZED GAS THROUGH SAID GAS FEED LINE MEANS TO THE STORAGE TANKS IN RESPONSE TO A SIGNAL RECEIVED FROM SAID MEASURING MEANS SO THAT THE STORAGE TANKS CAN BE FILLED WITH THE LIQUID FRACTION AND/OR DRAINED OF THE LIQUID FRACTION AS NECESSARY, MEANS FOR REMOVING THE LIQUID FRACTION FROM THE RESERVOIR MEANS AND INTRODUCING IT INTO A REACTOR MEANS, AND MEANS FOR REMOVING THE LIQUID FRACTION FROM THE REACTOR AND INTRODUCING IT INTO THE DISTRIBUTING SYSTEM FOR REINTRODUCTION BY SAID FIRST LIQUID FEED LINE MEANS INTO THE DISTRIBUTOR CHANNEL.
