advice on fume scrubber _fumescrubber_

[gregory-d]

get the 1" size, it will give you more CFM.

Cool thanks.

Easy enough to put a vacuum guage on it, like I said this will be the most important piece of equipment I will ever have, safety first, the other thing I am studying at the moment is safely dealing with the waste, when I am confident of that only then will I start refining

delboy9891, I could suggest a vacuum valve, you need a vacuum however a slight reduction in vacuum may slow the velocity of the fume going through your system. In my situation, we are installing Column Scrubbers with Glass Barrel media to slow down and diffuse the fume.

you can neutralize any waste to pH of 7

Yes after having dropped most of the Hydroxides.

Those are nice columns, how tall are they? As suggested a vacuum valve to slow down the airflow to better match the flow generated by the eductor with the size of the column. Remember the retention time for the fume in the column is what makes this work. And all glass gives the advantage of seeing the color of the fume to determine when you need new chemistry.

Glassware is where it's at. It can be done a lot of ways once you have the basic assembly. Everything begins small, as you find success growth begins in the size of your capabilities. I deal with ores exclusively, I'm no longer dealing with refining as it's too competitive to get the gold to refine.
All ores must start with Pre-treatment, no pre-treatment and you'll never see the gold. He's a few basic starters in Pre-treatment roasts, but there are many others. Breaking complexes is what I do. There isn't any New Chemistry, what I do is apply different applications to existing technology. No Hocus-Pocus, just analytical chemistry.

If you need any more info, just ask...

Hi Peter, could you please provide some information on the eductor you are using with that pump in the video please. I am in the process of setting up a scrubber and love the simplicity of yours. I have a pump on the way with very similar specs to the one you have used. Im thinking of ordering one of these https://www.spaparts.com.au/waterway-gunite-venturi-jet-with-extension-nozzle im just not sure if the 40mm pipe size will matter! i am also going to purchase some variations in the nozzle sizes. 1/4, 5/16 and 7/16.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards
Geoff

Welcome

Thank you, i have hung around here for quite some time and read lots of really interesting and insightful things. I have just never felt like i had done enough reading to post questions.
