General

Exhaust System is one neutralizing absorption waste gas absorption device for environment protection.
It is designed to neutralize acid fume and other harmful waste gases are generated from digestion.
Three-level absorption: gas scrubbing with liquid, absorption with neutralization solution (soda lime), absorption and drying with active carbon. The corrosion-resistant pump with high suction force equipped is able to produce strong suction of waste gas.
Operating principle: negative pressure is produced in the waste absorption piping by strong suction force generated by pump, and the waste gas produced by the digestor is accordingly pumped to the Exhaust System. First, most acid fume is cooled and recycled by the gas Exhaust System device. Then the waste gas travels through the tank filled with neutralizer or soda lime for neutralization and absorption. Afterwards the waste gas passes through the tank filled with active carbon for complete absorption and drying. Finally, the treated gas is exhausted by pump to the air.
Application: It is applied to food industry, pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, forestry, environmental protection, chemical industry, ecology as well as institutions and scientific research departments for absorption of acid fume generated during the chemical reaction in chemical analysis of soil, forage, plants, seeds, and ores.

Special notes:

1. The washing tank shall be filled with distilled water or NaOH solution with 10% concentration. The formulated NaOH solution shall be used after it is cooled to room temperature.
2. The liquid volume in the washing tank shall not exceed the scale mark.
3. The neutralizer in the neutralizing tank shall be NaOH solution with 10%-30% concentration.
4. The soda lime in the soda lime neutralization tank and the active carbon in the active carbon tank shall not exceed the scale mark in the inner respective tank.
5. Replacement shall be carried out in time as long as the acidity is shown by the indicator in the neutralizer or the soda lime turned pale yellow.
6. The active carbon in the tank shall be taken out and dried for reuse after every one or two experiments.
7. The solution in the washing tank and neutralization tank shall be replaced at the same time.

Operation of the Instrument

5.1 Sample Preparation
5.1.1. Preparation of the NaOH solution
The concentration of NaOH solution shall be 10 % – 30 %.
Na2CO3 solution can be used as a substitute for NaOH solution and formulated in two ways:

• Dilute 600 g Na2CO3 with 3 L warm distilled water.
• Dilute 1.7 kg Na2CO3·10H2O with 3 L warm distilled water.

5.1.2 Add pH indicator to NaOH solution:
Indicator shall be added to the NaOH solution. Normally 100 mg bromothymol blue shall be added to per 3 L NaOH solution. As a pH indicator, bromothymol blue is insoluble in water. It is freely soluble in ethyl alcohol, taking on sandy beige and freely soluble in diluted alkaline solution, taking on blue. The color ranges from yellow, via green to blue, with the pH value ranging from 6.0 to 7.6.
Other pH indicator can be used on condition that meets the requirements.
5.1.3 The three tanks shall be cleaned and dry if they will not be put to use for a long time after the experiment.
5.1.4 Soda lime is made of no reusable particles. Thus it shall be replaced for new one after complete reaction.
5.1.5 The active carbon in the tank shall be replaced for dry one, and the replaced active carbon may be put into drying oven for reuse.
5.1.6 When the knob is turned to the maximum position and the indication from the flowmeter is below 1m 3 /h, please screw off the filter cap in the active carbon tank. Then put it under the running water tap for 5 minutes for washing in order that the filter cap is not blocked with solid particles. (Be sure not to hold tightly the filter section in the cap in case it is damaged.)
5.2 Operating procedure of the instrument
5.2.1 First, connect the gas inlet of Exhaust System to the gas outlet of the digestion waste discharge system properly.
5.2.2 Fill the inner tank with soda lime and active carbon until they reach the scale. Shake the tank while filling in order that the soda lime and active carbon is tamped.
5.2.3 Check every tank cover for leakproofness and the piping connection for accuracy. (The tank cover may be put into the neck in the case and screwed tight for leakproofness after tightening.)
5.2.4 Turn on the main switch for the Exhaust System to enable the pump.
5.2.5 Turn the knob on the front and bottom side of the instrument until the required pumping speed is achieved.
5.2.6 Put the digestor into operation and the sample digestion starts.
5.2.7 Shut down the digestor and leave the Exhaust System running in non-load condition for 10 minutes after completion of the sample digestion, which serves as protection for the pump.
5.2.8 Switch off the power and Exhaust System stops running.
Notice: Two ways of filling the neutralizing tank:

1. Pour the NaOH solution with the indicator into the neutralizing tank directly.
2. Fill the inner tank with soda lime and then put it into the outer tank.
