Combined chlorine may be used in the form of hydrogen chloride, ammonium chloride, or the chloride of a Group I or II element. The examples relate to (a) the introduction of chlorine gas into the offtake tube between shaft and condenser, and (b) the charging of sodium chloride briquettes to the shaft.</p> |
