Between here and nearby iron mining areas, I’ve identified 18 NG and dynamite producing Company’s �Fireclay nitroglycerin reaction vessel Circa 1890 ‘s – Houghton County, Michigan �Circa 1890 ‘s – Houghton County, Michigan This vessel meets the criteria as described in Mowbray’s book entitled TRI-NITROGLYCERIN. As shown in Mowbray’s sketch the large siphon bottles on the shelves above and behind each reactor crock would contain 17 pounds of mixed acid (2:1 ratio of Sulphuric : Nitric). A small glass jar (above) held 2 pounds of 98% glycerin. An exhaust tube not shown in Mowbray’s sketch was manifolded from each reactor to withdraw nitrous oxide and dioxide fumes. One of the small ports was fitted with a long-stem thermometer, the other with the glass siphon feed tubes. Reactants were manually monitored to flow at a rate consistent with the cooling water troughs ability to maintain less than 5◦F. A ¼ inch glass tube supplied air (bubbler) from a 2¼ inch iron pipe. (later design iterations used a spinning disc for agitation) The entire reactor gallery was immersed in a wooden tub of flowing water and allowed to react for 1½ to 2 hours before being plunged via a bottom vessel valve (underwater) into a series of five tanks, two containing “soda water”[1] and three of rinse water; all part of Mowbray’s meticulous neutralization technique. several hundred-gallon vat of cold water below deck in the basement. Downstairs the mixture of nitroglycerine and any residual waste acid were neutralized with sodium bicarbonate and allowed to separate; the nitroglycerin again sinking to the bottom. [1] Soda water was for neutralization of residual acids. It’s undetermined whether it was sodium carbonate or bi-carbonate solution. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
