BENCH SCALE APPARATUS FOR THE STUDY OF SLAG FORMATION AND SLAG REMOVAL. PART I. APPARATUS AND OPERATION

Abstract

A bench scale apparatus for the study of slag formation and slag removal has been developed at this Laboratory. The apparatus consists of a rectangular firebox heated by electrical resistance panels and a collecting tube heated by a glass blower's blast lamp. Temperatures in the firebox approximate very closely those found in shipboard boiler operation. Synthetic slags of varying compositions are fed into the furnace and deposited on the collecting tube. When the furnace is operated as described, the deposited slag, both before and after removal from the collecting tube, had the appearance of slag from a full size ship's boiler.
