SALT HANDLING APPARATUS FOR A HYPOCHLOROUS ACID REACTOR

摘要

Apparatus (20) for the separation of a solid salt by-product from the product gaseous hypohalogenated acid of a reactor (15) is disclosed which is effective to separate particles ranging in size from about 0.5 to about 50 microns. The reactor (15) mixes an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide and a gaseous halogen to produce the hypohalogenated acid product and solid salt by-product which are discharged from the reactor into the separation apparatus (20).
