Chapter 136 Production and Accidents

After dividing them into three shifts and twelve groups, Xia Lin held a detailed production meeting for these 38 people. Regardless of whether they could understand or not, he first explained the production principle of this production line, and then arranged for each person one by one. Responsible position, tell them in detail what they need to do in this position.

Then Xia Lin asked them to put on thick and simple insulating clothing soaked with resin for insulation, put on gloves and masks, and began to practice and familiarize themselves with the production process.

After seven drills using water as the basic raw material, and everyone became familiar with the operating procedures, Xia Lin announced the official start of trial production with this chlor-alkali production line.

"Feeding!"

Under Xia Lin's command, the worker in charge of putting raw materials into the salt pond immediately poured white sugar and crude refined salt produced by the refined salt factory into it.

"add water!"

An employee connected the waterwheel and the water inlet channel of the caustic soda plant through a trigger mechanism, and the continuous river water flowed into the salt tank along the height difference, and then the two began to stir it with wooden sticks.

"Start the rune disk and open the No. [-] valve!"

The dissolved brine flowed into the long tank, and under the action of the purification rune disk, it began to stratify.

Seeing no specific changes in the phenomenon, Xia Lin asked the team leader in charge of opening the No. [-] valve to taste the middle half of the solution. After confirming that it was saline, he opened the No. [-] valve.

The purified salt water flowed into the 15-meter-long spiral heating channel. After observing fine sodium chloride crystals at the end, Xia Lin finally announced to open the No. [-] valve leading into the electrolytic cell.

The fully concentrated saturated salt water slowly flowed into the three electrolytic tanks through three channels. When they were almost full, Xia Lin ordered people to close the wooden lids of the electrolytic tanks and activate the arc spell rune disk.

This step is the most critical step. Through the transparent crystal observation slot specially processed on the pipeline, Xia Lin saw the yellow-green chlorine gas slowly flowing through the pipeline, which proved that the chlorine gas had successfully entered the anode pipeline, so he let it go Come on.

After a while, the small wooden fan blades in another pipeline connected to the cathode also suddenly rotated, which is proof of the generation of hydrogen.

"Boss Xia Lin! That gas leaked out!!"

Just as Xia Lin was counting the time nervously, waiting for the electrolysis to be almost complete and the caustic soda solution could be released, a team leader in charge of the combustion reactor suddenly shouted.

"what!"

Xia Lin was startled. Looking along the long pipe, he did find a light yellow smoke slowly emerging from the joint of a stone pipe. He immediately shouted solemnly:

"Stop trial production! Follow the plan I taught you! The fourth team leaves the combustion reactor quickly!"

Seeing the true appearance of the terrible gas described by Xia Lin, the group hurriedly disconnected the arc rune disk from the magic stone according to the measures during the exercise, and the same was true for the purification rune disk.

Then they quickly pulled up the wet towels around their necks, squinted their eyes and ran out of the factory building.

Xia Lin also immediately led the second team in charge of the electrolytic cell to quickly evacuate the factory from the vicinity of the electrolytic cell, and ran to an open space more than 20 meters away from the factory before Xia Lin stopped.

Seeing that everyone was happy to survive the catastrophe, Xia Lin immediately counted the number of people and asked cautiously:
"Is everyone all right? Has anyone been exposed to that gas and feels unwell? Tell us quickly, especially the fourth group!"

"It's okay, Boss Xia Lin! We're running fast!"

"Yeah! We're all fine!"

"Fortunately, Team Leader Taot looked carefully and found the gas!"

The employees of the caustic soda plant all talked in one go.

"It's fine, Taut, you did a great job this time! Wheeler, give Taut an extra five silver mal bonuses this week!"

Seeing that a terrible crisis was resolved invisible because of the vigilance of the staff, Xia Lin let out a long sigh of relief, patted the shoulder of the leader of the fourth group and said approvingly.

"This is what I should do!"

Taut Graner replied with a smile on his face when he heard that he could still receive an extra bonus of five silver marrs after he yelled.

The surrounding employees also showed envious expressions. Five silver Maars are half the salary even for regular employees. This bonus is not small.

Xia Lin wants to achieve such an effect, using the reward and punishment system to stimulate the production enthusiasm of employees and keep them in a state of high concentration at all times, so as to detect the signs of accidents in advance and minimize losses as much as possible.

Seeing that the employees were all fine, Xia Lin nodded in relief, then covered her nose and mouth with a wet towel and went to the caustic soda plant, casting a one-ring gust of wind inside.

Long before the trial production started, the employees followed Xia Lin's instructions and opened all the doors and windows of the caustic soda plant that could be opened.

Xia Lin manipulated this gust of wind to blow into the factory, and the faint chlorine gas quickly escaped along the fast-flowing air, and the concentration of chlorine gas in the factory also quickly decreased to a harmless level.

"Sure enough, the error of the pottery pipe is still a bit big!"

After a while, after confirming that the chlorine gas generated in the electrolytic cell had completely dissipated, Xia Lin led people into the factory again and checked the air leak on one side. Xia Lin soon discovered that there was such an air leak. s reason.

That's the problem with pottery pipe specifications.

Although Xia Lin carefully stipulated the dimensions and specifications of these reaction vessels, the firing level of the pottery workshop was not high. And the cotton rope didn't fully take effect, and a tiny gap was broken under the scouring of chlorine gas.

But this is not a big problem. Xia Lin had someone seal it up again, comforted everyone, and promised that if the trial production was successfully completed, everyone would get a bonus of five silver Mal. Trial production started once.

Saltification, purification, electrolysis, this time with experience, there is no problem with the previous steps.

About 2 minutes after the hydrogen gas was injected into the combustion reactor, Xia Lin asked someone to activate the flame spell rune disk.

Xia Lin's use of the rune plate is no longer as rough as the previous electric arc furnace smelting, but a contact switch made of a spring mechanism and magic stone, which can be turned on and off by pressing the rune plate.

After the open flame generated by the flame spell rune disk enters the reactor along the small channel inside the reactor to ignite the hydrogen, Xia Lin then asks someone to turn the chlorine valve to two directions, so that the chlorine gas generated by the anode will simultaneously flow into the combustion reactor and be absorbed by the slaked lime. tower.

This step is extremely critical. If the concentration of chlorine gas is too high, the combustion reactor will not burn, but will explode. For this reason, Xia Lin used five mage armor scrolls to surround the combustion reactor to prevent it from exploding and causing personnel damage. casualties.

However, after opening the valve for more than ten seconds, Xia Lin did not see any signs of explosion in the combustion reactor, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone opened the valves of the electrolytic cell and the chlorine gas absorption cylinder, and Xia Lin finally obtained two important products of the chlor-alkali industry-caustic soda solution mixed with sodium chloride and dilute hydrochloric acid solution mixed with hypochlorous acid.

Looking around at the employees of the caustic soda factory who were ignorantly looking at these transparent solutions, Xia Lin raised her hand and announced:

"Everyone, our production has succeeded! From now on, caustic soda and hydrochloric acid will no longer be obstacles to the development of our industrial park!"

"Huh! It's finally finished!"

Hearing Xia Lin's words, they first looked at each other in blank dismay, and then all the surrounding employees breathed a sigh of relief, looking relieved.
