Process for producing the effect of the glover tower in the manufacture of sulphuric acid, without the use of glover towers

摘要

In an ordinary lead-chamber system, the Glover tower is replaced by a mechanical apparatus by means of which the gases containing sulphur dioxide are brought into intimate contact with finely divided nitrosyl sulphuric acid or sulphuric acid containing nitric acid. The apparatus, which is made of acid proof material consists of a box-like reaction chamber in which rotate one or more rollers, such as are described in Specification 149,647, [Class 55 (ii), Gas manufacture &c.]. The usual Glover reactions are effected whether the gases are hot or cold. Specification 149,648 also is referred to.
