first off, I hope this is the right area to post this in... as it could probably belong in a number of areas.
second, please offer any thoughts you might have about this idea... I would like to have ideas BEFORE i try it instead of trial by error
bit of back ground info:
i built this prototype fume scrubber from some left over PVC I had laying around... this is intended to to be used as a dry scrubber for AP method only. My objective is to scrub out the Cl2 and acid vapors coming off the solution in the bucket by forcing air through a activated charcoal bed. although it is not built into the lid yet, my thought is to have an air bubbler line feed through the top of the lid leading into the AP solution, thus providing O2 for the solution and the pressure to force the vapors through the charcoal bed on top of the bucket. I also need to build in a safety valve of some sorts (which is one area where i need ideas)
so please, take a look at the pics, and let me know any thoughts, concerns, advice you have. Once again, this is for ONLY acid-peroxide method fume scrubbing... no nitric acid, no sulfuric as those can produce byproducts that wont be scrubbed with the activated charcoal.
Thanks!
Mike
