RE: NEXT bitchin’ technique  ????????

Here’s my next gambit for your review and debunking if needed.

Air is blown through aqueous, 30%.

The air and entrained NH3/H2O goes into a DRYING TUBE (and more)

filled with dry NaOH:

The transit of which absorbs the water and releases the NH3

Which THEN goes through the super cooler and condensate collector:

The exit from the condensate collector is RE FED into the air pump for recycling if needed. .

Whaddaya think??

Dwarfer

Advantages unless i missed an obvious item which is definitely possible:

No fumes

Self acting : turn it on and come back a few hours later.

Should work even with 3%, although it would take a lot of NaOH.

THANKS

the general scheme sounds workable, but how much drying material would you need to ensure 100% absorption of the H2O vapors? why not just set up an ammonia generator from ammonium carbonate/heat?

dwarfer:
50 lb bags of essentially naOH are available for $60.

I figger what I'm trying to do would gobble up $$$$ of dryrite.

(Plus I wanna prove something to whats his name??  Oh yeah OSMOID the GREAT.[secret leader of the hive...} :) )

However, I'm going to try to freeze the water out of vapour phase in a dry ice cold tube first: this one will be my next attempt at a closed system recycle

Air pumps are under $10 from an aquarium, and  should work for this low vol applicaiton.

obituary:
so you're just looking at producing maybe a couple hundred ml's to a liter at a time?    and the whole unit would take up how much space?  a cubic yard max?

dwarfer:
yeb.
Maybe 1/2 cu yrd at the most: lots less space than the fertilizer deal: but I ain't crowing till the chickens come home..... (For a welcome change...)
