Building a new shed! _fumescrubber_

[ashir]

The neutralized fumes from the compressor exit out thru small hole on the wall, (as shown in the compressor pic), the fumes are not released back into the hood, nor the shed.

I cut a 5" hole on top of the hood, and placed a line, as shown in this pic:

I bought the blower on e-bay. I'll try to find the seller...

P.S.
here is a pic of the 6" exhaust fan:

Hi phil have you find ebay seller for exast fan?
which vaccume pump you use ?any info so i can find locally here is what avail in market

 

[philddreamer]

What sized hood you are using. Where you arrange the lights inside hood. (Many ideas but want copy as you did) wish to see hood's top from inside
Measurment of top bends of hood.

The hood is simply made of 3/4 in. plywood, coated with epoxy paint. It is 24" high x 24" deep x 48" long.
A 5" hole cut on top were the extractor pipe is placed on top. The light plugs into the wall... is a simple 15watt light fixture that starts when there is not enough ambient light.

Hi phil.waiting for your reply about vaccume pump.thnks

 

[philddreamer]

ashir, you may use a baffle if you desire... I don't have one.
That plastic fan is fine! Acid won't attack it so readily...

Thanks alot phil.
I was buying pump and seen all 1/2 Hp pumps have diffrent cfm. While local supplier is unfamilar with cfm. Can you guide which cfm of your pump is?

 

[philddreamer]

I can't find the cfm on this particular compressor...
If I was you, I would buy the 1/2hp compressor with the highest cfm rating.
(The one in your pic is a 2Cubic Feet per Minute)

Thanks phil.out ofthat i find a detailed topic about your pump series 2660C ....

thanks for info .

I have been using a vacuum pump like you posted above for two years as way to vacuum filter various materials. I picked up another one recently in a yard sale for $20 U.S. I like it a bit better but it is (only slightly) less powerful than my old one. It is a medical grade aspirator pump as well, so you may find a used one if you have access to used medical equipment.

Hey phil. Kurtak mentioned your pump at 2.5cfm. Have a look. The whoLe thread was awesome
https://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=23106

 

[Shark]

Not much I can help with on the details besides these pictures. It will pull a vacuum at 22 (by the out side numbers on the gauge) and hold it there. It runs quieter than the one you posted as well. It has a 1200CC vacuum bottle with a cut off float in the small secondary bottle so fluids aren't pulled into the pump.

Thanks shark. These informations are enough to find such a pump.
I already ordered a vaccume pump according to phil. Setup. Now i will find a pump on basis orf your infio as a backup. Thanks alooot

 

[Shark]

The pump Phil uses is great and will last along time with a bit of care. I picked this one because it was cheap and was already (almost) setup with container to neutralize acid fumes (using the 1200CC jar). It is still primarily a back up, but I think it will eventually become a primary for vacuum filter a flask or two at a time when running gold filled.

It is good to see that your still working at refining, so many come and stay a little while and are gone again. hope it works out well for you.

 

[philddreamer]

That compressor is the first of 3 or 4 I bought from etack some 6 years ago, if memory servers my well. :?
The others are in the garage waiting for their turn!

thanks shark. In my local market acid resistance pump have a small container attached. Maximum machines are from china. So its hard to get same as it is or as phil's pump but i can get some and check them. Your knowledge will be more helpfull.

And thanks for compliments. I did start from waste , did mistakes, ask and learn, now i am finishing my refinery and working with ores.one ore with alot testings. Contract with owner and nearly ready to start.every one especially Deano and lino helped alot on every aspect. It was a nice journey and everything thAt i learned was from this forum. Failures are not to stop you! i will post my setup as my flotation cells and furnance reach. I am looking for large scale seiving ideas posted here

So here is what i start
Base for hood.

And here the cabin
Its 46 inch long 48inches high and 25inches deep
5 inch exaust pipe . One inch hole from side for scrubber setup.

I add baffle inside with plastic glass 1 inch faar fom hood walls. The problem was to hang the glass so i use wood pieces .

Tomorrow i will construct sash for hood and scrubber as copy of phil setup.
Anyideas for sash or door for hood?

 

[ashir]

Scrubber is ready have only an issue with refilling setup. I like 4metal idea that he share on phil post to refill the columns. But i am having issue to find caps so that they can be closed.
