I have been through the library and I guess I realize that my intelligence is highly over rated =) I am not "getting it" when it comes to scrubber design...AT ALL!
I do small scale refining of E-waste, of which I have a LOT to process (think years), but I like to keep things small when recovering. I process maybe an ounce or two, in a run. I am building a fume hood currently and that isn't too big a deal a for me as a former finish carpenter. My exhaust is 10in which will be scaled down to whatever I need. I do MOST of my refining directly in AR as I have learned that kovar capped transistors are just easiest to process this way (thanks Orvi!). They can however erupt in vigorous amounts of fumes which I really would like to at least make less toxic and harmful to the environment. But I also do nitric digestions, and am soon going to employ a sulfuric stripping cell (for a massive amount of RF connectors) as well.
I saw this idea on a thread in the library and I am interested in something like this. But the problem is I can't wrap my head around how do my fumes get through this system ??? and frankly, I am not comprehending the theories about scrubbing in general. But I need something simple, somewhat compact in size, and it just needs to be effective enough for someone like me that may be processing a small amount on the weekends.
Thanks in advance for all of your insights and wisdom and thanks for this great place to share it all!
