Not illustrated. 1901 Excerpt: ...weigh about 90 lbs. per bushel. Mr. Forstall has suggested passing the slaked lime through sieve with 1 inch square mesh set at an angle of 70 with the floor, and the lime should not be wet enough to cling to the sieve. If lime be allowed to become too dry and powdery CO2 will speedily slip, and if too wet the result is not satisfactory; both extremes should be avoided. If cold gas be introduced into a hot material the latter is rendered powdery, and if hot gas is introduced into a cold material it is made too wet. Removal of the Sulphur Compounds. The cost of removing the sulphur compounds may be taken as over Id. per thousand cubic feet, Where oxide of iron is used there should be a large purifying surface and prolonged contact with the purifying material, which should be in one or several layers according to the use or non-use of inert materials. Where revivification is effected in the open air, the material should be heaped up on its removal from the purifiers, and, as soon as it becomes heated, spread in layers from 8 to 12 inches thick. Where continuous revivification is employed the volume of air or oxygen should be injected without interruption and in exact proportion to the make of gas, the material to be kept warm and moist. In the case of purification by lime the material should be divided into several layers and used cold if it is desired to retain more of the sulphide of carbon, otherwise hot. Oxygen should be employed for revivification. Quantity of Sulphur Compounds from Same Coal. If CO2 be allowed to pass into a sulphided lime purifier it will liberate some of the H2S and CS2 already taken up and form carbonate of calcium in its place. If H2S be allowed to pass into a properly sulphided lime purifier it changes the monosulphide to a polysul...
