Continuous dissolution of slag and crucibles offers two advantages: capacity increase over the present batch rate and size reduction to criti¬cally safe dimensions.nThe 5-inch ID by 10-foot high dissolver shown schematically in Figure 1continuously dissolved simulated slag and crucibles at a rate of 240.kg per day. The throughput rate was limited by the duration of the vigorous consecutive reactions which dissolved the can containing the slag and crucibles, and the fine solids within the can. The slow dis¬solving crucible chips which settled to an equilibrium heel had no effect on the dissolver capacity.
