Can an enamel tank be used for the chlorate decomposition tank?
Thread Content
Due to the oxidizing nature of the medium, the low pH value, and the high temperature, choosing the appropriate material for constructing the chlorate decomposition tank is a critical issue. Some use titanium, while others use fiberglass. I wonder why chlorate decomposition tanks don’t use enamel-lined tanks If possible, the equipment cost will be **reduced; please have the fellow sailors discuss this.
Yes, it’s possible – the 120,000-ton ion-exchange membrane caustic soda production plant of Asia Star Chemical uses the 12,500-liter enamel-lined chlorination reactor that was discarded from a polyvinyl chloride production plant, and the results are excellent!
Using enamel tanks is a good option, but the following factors must be taken into consideration: 1. Strength: Since the container walls made of enamel are not thick, careful thought must be given to how to support and protect the tank. 2. Cracking: It is necessary to maintain the integrity of the enamel surface; the tank itself, as well as its openings and pipeline connections, need to be secured carefully. 3. Sudden temperature changes should be avoided. 4. Maintenance: Any minor damage detected must be repaired promptly and properly before the tank can be used again
It is said to be possible. I just don’t know how effective it will be.
As for the specific temperature and concentration levels, if they fall within an appropriate range, using glass-lined steel is a good choice
Our company has manufactured many 45,000L glass-lined chloromethane reactors, but they are quite difficult to produce. When using such reactors, one needs to be as careful as someone who cares deeply for their girlfriend
It is also necessary to examine the quality of the enamel and glaze, as well as the sintering process, etc
