degree of fire protection available are the prime factors determining rates. Structural design is secondary. Boiler and machine underwriters, who often insure process equipment against rup­ ture, consider each tank or vessel in­ dividually for coverage. While they are prone to check closely the design calculations for a noncode vessel, standard rates apply if the design of the vessel is approved by the under­ writers. Appendix R will supplement Stand­ ard 620 by recommending materials of construction for several ranges of design metal temperatures from - 6 0 ° F. to 40° F. It details impact test requirements for primary tank components, describes additional welding rules, and discusses test pro­ cedures beyond those for nonrefrigerated tanks. It covers both single-wall and double-wall designs. AS Μ Ε Code. Though the new por­ tion being developed for the ASME code has been tagged Section VIII Di­ vision 2, it hasn't been decided whether it will in fact be part of Sec­ tion VIII or a new code section in it­ self. The special committee, which has been working on this addition for about two years, was created in 1955 to review the entire code. Its first task—by popular demand—was to in­ corporate the most advanced design concepts in current use into a stand­ ard for vessels in nuclear service. This was accomplished in 1962 with the issue of Code Section III. The special committee is now at­ tempting to extend this thinking to large industrial vessels. One member of the code committee characterizes the work as a completely new ap­ proach to pressure vessel design. No extensive rewriting of present Section VIII is involved. The new provisions won't cover production line vessels such as air receiver tanks and similar vessels. The committee may take a look at extending Section VIII coverage be­ yond 3000 p.s.i.g. design pressure—its present limit. This has been consid­ ered and rejected several times in re­ cent years, however, since so few in­ dustrial vessels are built for such pressure. There is also some reluc­ tance to freeze specifications while ultrahigh-pressure technology is in a pe­ riod of rapid growth. As one commit­ tee member puts it, it is important to gain some experience with the new materials and designs now available before ASME says "thou shalt."

New Chemicals Pattern for Kraft Pulpers Could cut cost of kraft pulping and bleaching by as much as a quarter to a third No need to buy chlorine, caustic soda, or salt cake. This is the prospect held out to kraft pulpers—and to sup­ pliers of the chemicals—by a new chemical supply system for pulping and bleaching. Only sodium chlo­ rate, sodium chloride, and sulfuric acid, in addition to the usual lime, are required. The system, which its developers believe could cut bleaching costs by as much as a quarter to a third, is now in mill trials at the Crofton, B.C., mill of British Columbia Forest Products. If it proves out, it could be a shot in the arm for the so-called R2 process developed several years ago by Dr. W. Howard Rapson, professor of chemical engineering at the Univer­ sity of Toronto, along with Electric Reduction Co. of Canada (ERCO) and Hooker Chemical. Originally developed to produce chlorine dioxide for bleaching, the R2 process involves reactions of sodium chlorate, sodium chloride, and sulfuric acid. Besides chlorine dioxide and chlorine, however, sodium sulfate is also produced. Success had hinged on a method for crystallizing sodium sulfate from solution as Glauber's salt (sodium sulfate decahydrate) and evaporating and recycling sulfuric acid. It's this R2 process that's now the basis for the new chemical supply con­ cept. The concept was described by Dr. Rapson at the 50th Annual Meet­ ing of the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry, in New York. Even as he was speaking, ERCO engineers were starting up a new pilot plant on a revised R2 proc­ ess—a simpler one, with lower capital cost. The revised process is designed to produce anhydrous sodium sulfate and a more concentrated chlorine. Integrates. The new concept inte­ grates and changes somewhat the chemical flow patterns in pulping and bleaching. In a typical kraft pulp plant, pulp is digested with white liq­ uor, the fresh cooking liquor made up primarily of sodium sulfide and so­ dium hydroxide. After cooking, spent (black) liquor washed from the pulp goes to chemical recovery.

Pulp to be bleached then goes to a chlorination stage in the bleaching op­ eration. Chlorinated alkali lignin, however, is almost insoluble in acid solution; so chlorination is followed by caustic extraction with sodium hy­ droxide. The pulp is then further bleached with sodium hypochlorite or chlorine dioxide. Another caustic ex­ traction follows. Back in the pulping operation, black liquor that has entered the chemical recovery system is evapo­ rated (and tall oil skimmed off) and sent to a combustion furnace. There it burns to a molten mixture of pri­ marily sodium carbonate and sodium sulfide. The melt discharges to a quench tank to form green liquor, which is then causticized with lime to convert the sodium carbonate to so­ dium hydroxide. The calcium carbon­ ate that forms in this step is filtered and burned to calcium oxide, availa­ ble again for causticizing. The re­ maining solution, white liquor, is ready for feeding to the digesters. To make up sodium sulfide losses in the pulping process, salt cake (crude sodium sulfate) is added to the solu­ tion entering the furnace. It is re­ duced in a furnace to sodium sulfide. Thus a kraft mill generally buys salt cake for makeup, chlorine for bleaching, and sodium hydroxide for caustic extraction and for making so­ dium hypochlorite. It also buys so­ dium chlorate, sulfuric acid, and ei­ ther sulfur dioxide, methanol, or sodium chloride for reducing sodium chlorate to chlorine dioxide. Added to these is calcium carbonate or lime for recausticizing. All told, Dr. Rapson says, chemicals used to make bleached kraft pulp range on an aver­ age from $13 to $17 per ton of pulp. Change Supply. Two factors ac­ count for the R2 process being able to change this supply picture. First, the process makes both chlorine and chlorine dioxide, and it can be ad­ justed to give these in whatever pro­ portion is needed. Second, labora­ tory experiments and mill operation have shown that it's perfectly feasible to use white liquor instead of sodium hydroxide for caustic extraction. MAR.

Two reactions take place in the R2 generator, Dr. Rapson explains. In the first, one mole each of sodium chlorate, sodium chloride, and sul­ furic acid react to give one mole each of chlorine dioxide, sodium sulfate, and water, along with a half mole of chlorine. In the other, one mole of the chlorate, five of the chloride, and three of sulfuric acid give three moles each of chlorine, sodium sulfate, and water. Any ratio of one reaction to the other can be produced, Dr. Rapson says, by varying the ratio of sodium chlorate to sodium chloride in the feed and by maintaining acidity by adding sulfuric acid when necessary. This means that the chlorine-to-chlo­ rine dioxide ratio can be varied over a wide range, and, further, by varying this ratio, more or less salt cake can be produced. In this way, enough salt cake can be made to meet white liquor require­ ments for both pulping and caustic extraction. However, Dr. Rapson points out, the cost of chemicals to the mill will be closer to a minimum, the closer the generator can be operated to the first reaction and still meet bleaching and salt cake needs. A limited amount of water dissolves preferentially about 40% of the chlo­ rine dioxide in the chlorine/chlorine

dioxide mixture from the process. This is used for the latter stages of bleaching. The remaining chlorine dioxide and most of the chlorine are dissolved in a larger amount of water for use in the chlorination stage. As an additional way of cutting costs, a sizable amount of sodium salts can be recovered from the first caustic extraction stage. Putting this back into the system would reduce the sodium sulfate production needs from the R2 process and thus allow the process to be operated closer to the preferred first reaction. The best place to put the caustic extraction filtrate back into the system is as part of the water supplied for making green liquor. This, however, could pose a poten­ tial problem and is one of the points being studied in the mill tests. The problem arises because some of the chlorine from chlorination shows up in the caustic extraction as chlorides. As extraction filtrate recycles, chlo­ rides will build up in the system. Dr. Rapson says that opinions vary as to whether there is a corrosion or explosion hazard caused by a high chloride content in the system. He points out, though, that high chloride concentrations are found normally in white liquor in coastal mills using logs floated in sea water.

Treated Salt Removes Snow While Reducing Auto Corrosion If snow on some highways in the up­ per Midwest has an unusual char­ treuse tinge next winter it will not be due to the whim of a highway engi­ neer with a keen sense of the aes­ thetic. It will be due to Carguard, the new treated salt made by Cargill, Inc., the Minnesota grain handler, for removing ice and snow from high­ ways. Cargill has been testing the new salt for three years and claims that it cuts the rusting of autos by as much as 84% compared to regular salt. The color is incidental—caused by ad­ ditives in the product. Salt currently used on highways is not generally treated by the compa­ nies that produce it to cut corrosion. Salt companies have been working on treated salts for some years, but have shied away from putting them on the market, mainly because of cost. Also, the effectiveness of these treated salts in reducing auto rusting has not been fully established under field condi­ tions. Cargill now thinks that it has over­ come these problems by developing a salt with good anticorrosion proper­ ties at a price that can still attract customers. Delivered price of un­ treated highway salt is about $8.00 to $15 per ton, depending on transpor­ tation costs. Carguard will be about $4.00 per ton more. Additives. The new product con­ sists of rock salt plus five additives. Four of these are to inhibit rust. The fifth, sodium ferrocyanide, is an anticaking agent commonly used in high­ way salts. These additives total less than 1 % by weight of the product. Carguard inhibits rust by hamper­ ing the electrochemical reaction that is the key to the corrosion of iron. In the presence of moisture, cathodic and anodic areas are set up on the surface of the metal. These trigger corrosion. The additives in Carguard protect these areas separately—the cathodic areas with a film, the anodic areas by a catalytic reaction. The metallic salt of a long-chain or­ ganic compound protects the cathodic areas. It forms a film when the posi­ tive (metallic) ends of the molecules attach themselves to these negatively charged areas. As a result the longchain ends stand out like the fibers on a carpet. The film slows corrosion of these areas by electrically insulating

CORROSION PITS. Young Joo Lee, Cargill chemist, measures depth of corrosion pits in auto body metal exposed to salt. Cargill's Carguard contains a rust inhibitor to reduce these pits caused by deicing salt

them. It also keeps oxygen from them. However, the most severe corrosion takes place at the anodic areas. Here iron is first converted to ferrous hydroxide. When chlorides are present, this hydroxide forms ferrous and ferric chlorides. Because these iron chlorides are very soluble, they are easily washed away. This leaves sites for continued corrosion. Carguard inhibits this anodic corrosion by catalyzing the conversion of the ferrous hydroxide to gamma ferric oxide. This iron oxide forms a dense film that adheres to the metal surface, preventing further rusting. Cargill will not name this catalytic additive nor will it talk about the third and fourth anticorrosion additives. But Dr. Russell Eversole and Young Joo Lee, the chemists who developed Carguard, say that these two are minor components that aid the function of the film forming and catalytic additives. Tests. Cargill started testing treated salts in the winter of 1962-63 at about the same time as the company became a basic salt producer with its Belle Isle, La., rock salt mine. 72

The first year's tests were encouraging but very limited. A more ambitious testing program for 1963-64 was frustrated by a lack of snow. But this winter Cargill feels that it has been successful in showing the performance of the new salt. A field test is being run at Davenport, Iowa, where three areas in a city park have been set aside. One of these areas is treated with Carguard, one with regular salt, and the other is not treated. Test autos are driven over these areas for about 60 min. per day. Steel test panels are attached under the fenders of these autos. Every two weeks a few are removed, examined, cleaned, and weighed. Some of the panels are flat, others have a V-notch in them. After 10 weeks, the flat panels exposed to Carguard have lost only 16% as much weight as have the panels exposed to regular salt, according to Cargill. Dr. Eversole expresses this result as 84% protection for the Carguard panel. The corresponding notched panels show 57% protection. And the Carguard panels have lost less weight than have the panels exposed to unsalted snow. These tests

will run for a total of 12 weeks. However, Dr. Eversole points out that previous tests indicate that the last two weeks will not change these 10week results significantly. These results are of the same order as those obtained by a research foundation, according to Cargill. In those tests metal panels were exposed to Carguard, regular salt, or water under laboratory conditions that simulated 12 weeks of commuter driving during a rigorous snow season. The flat panels exposed to Carguard showed 78% protection and the notched panels 57% protection compared to regular salt. Furthermore, Carguard panels showed 2 1 % protection compared with those panels exposed to moisture only. Cargill is encouraged by these results. It feels that this corrosion protection will attract highway engineers in spite of the premium cost. Cargill already has plans beyond Carguard. Evan Williams, sales official of the company's salt department, says that Cargill may offer the additives in Carguard as a package which can be blended into either salt or calcium chloride. Cargill also may license other companies to make a treated salt just like Carguard. C 34

Epoxy Cures in Thin Film At Low Temperatures An epoxy resin system that will cure in thin films at temperatures as low as 0° F. has been developed by Adhesive Engineering Co., of San Carlos, Calif. The system can be used to make a series of epoxy products that cure at normal temperatures with speeds not attainable before. Concressive Series 1200 is available in four formulations—two liquids and two pastes, with a flexible and rigid form for each. Epoxies of this group will cure within two to five hours in thin films compared to the usual cure time of five to seven days for conventional products with the same working life in a large mass. Most of the epoxy products developed from this line will cure in 30 hr. at 0° F . and from 30 min. to one hour at room temperature (60° to 80° F.). The effective pot life of these epoxies runs from 20 min. to one hour. However, one special epoxy formulation in the group will cure in about five minutes but has an effective pot life of only one to two minutes.

Adhesive Engineering says that the epoxies can be used in aerospace and construction industries. They can also be used in electrical equipment manufacture, light metal assembly, and laminating. Highway patching and bridge sealing at low tempera­ ture are also possible. C 35

BRIEFS Chemical resistance properties of commercially available carbon and graphite can be upgraded by a process developed by General Electric Co.'s Metallurgical Products department at Detroit, Mich. The process consists of impregnating commercial carbons and graphites with pyrolytic graphite by vapor deposition. According to the company, the impregnation proc­ ess increases bulk density, thermal conductivity, and flexural, tensile, and compression strengths. At the same time, fluid permeability, bulk resistiv­ ity, and chemical reactivity are re­ duced, GE says.
