T h e flow d i a g r a m s h o w s a t y p i c a l use o f Fansteel-built Tantalum Absorption plants in converting by-product hydrogen chloride gas from a chlorinating operation into marketable hydrochloric acid. The diagram also shows a tantalum sparger tube for introducing chlorine into the reaction kettle and a tantalum reflux condenser to recover the chlorinated product. The overall economy of tantalum HC1 absorbers is (1) complete freedom from corrosion, ( 2 ) freedom from thermal shock, (3) l o w
consumption of cooling water, (4) no contamination o f product a c i d , (5) p r e c i s e c o n t r o l and immediate response to adjustment, (6) conservation of space, (7) simple installation and operation, (8) low maintenance. Fansteel Absorption Plants, each built for its particular service, are performing splendidly all over the world. We will w e l c o m e a consultation on your requirements—for better service at lower cost. Fansteel Metallurgical Corporation, North Chicago, Illinois.
