I believe 4metals posted construction details of one and if he did then you can take it to the bank.

the pump is the most important aspect, you must buy a pump rated for caustic liquids. the proper high surface area scrubber media is inexpensive, if you can find someone to sell you less than a cubic yard of it.

You can use something like this:



Metal + acids in flask #1

Dry trap (to prevent suck back) flask #2

~10% NaOH solution in flask #3

But still use this in a fume hood or outside

Are these bottles a bigger is better type thing? Also must these be glass, or could a stainless steel vessel be used, also would a bubbler be a good addition?

Sorry if this is a dumb question first post still going through information on here.

I wouldn't use any metal "vessels"... PVC would also work just fine!

Take care!
