Chapter 1 Soil method of sulfuric acid refining
Six years of the Apocalypse.
Changyi County, Yanchi Village.
A teenager dressed in a coarse cloth and straw sandals stands on a beachside beach near Yanchi Village.
There are many stone salt troughs on the tidal flats.
It is shaped like an inkstone.
The young man's name is Wang Youzhen, and he has been a salt of salt for generations.
Since he accidentally drowned in the sea a few months ago and woke up from a coma, he has completely changed as a person.
Since then, he has not said a word, and often comes to wander around the salt pond.
Wang Youzhen looked at a special salt trough covered with a black boulder: "After the explosion in the laboratory of the 221 Institute, I didn't expect to return to Daming. ”
"That's fine, then start the industrial revolution in the last Han dynasty in China, and bombard the Western country with strong ships and cannons."
"Forcing Western countries to sign countless unequal conditions, so that those Westerners can taste the taste of Westerners and dogs not being allowed to enter."
To start the industrial revolution in Daming and establish a series of industrial systems, what is most needed is a large amount of silver.
Wang Youzhen, as a poor and white child of the Yanding family, couldn't even eat enough, and there was no silver at all to start the industrial revolution.
In the past few months, he has not said a word, but he is familiar with the ancient dialects and customs of this era.
Until today, it has been thoroughly mastered and there are no flaws to be seen.
Wang Youzhen didn't care about it, and began to think about the first pot of gold that opened the industrial revolution.
This first pot of gold came from the only salt trough in front of me pressed with black stones.
The salt trough belonged to a household surnamed Sun, and because he was obsessed with "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he followed Zhang Fei's example to press a boulder at the wellhead and an iron grinding disc on the salt trough.
A hundred taels of silver were placed at the bottom of the salt trough, and if anyone could remove an iron grinding disc weighing more than a thousand pounds, the bottom of the hundred taels of silver belonged to that man.
The salters are not Li Yuanba in the drama interpretation, where can they move more than a thousand catties of iron grinding plates.
The iron grinding disc had been sitting for more than three years, and no one of the salters could move the grinding disc and take away the hundred taels of silver below.
Wang Youzhen also couldn't move the iron grinding plate, but he had another power to take away the one hundred taels of silver inside.
Science.
After watching it for a few days in a row, I basically understood the situation around me, and I checked and filled in the gaps over and over again in my heart and planned the plan for more than a month.
Wang Youzhen stepped on the soft tidal flats and walked home.
Yanchi is not far from Yanchi Village, where the Yanding people live, and it only takes half a pillar of incense to see a dilapidated earthen house.
Pushing open a dilapidated wood door, Wang Youzhen walked to the corner of the wall not far away.
Just after the rainy season, families are busy selecting seeds to prepare for the beginning of summer.
In the corner of the earthen wall, there is a pot of rice seeds soaked in water.
Not far from the wooden basin is the simple chemical laboratory built by Wang Youzhen.
Wang Youzhen first added branches to the makeshift earthen stove, sat on it with a small clay pot, and looked at another large clay pot in the corner.
Take a turquoise stone from it, put it in a small clay pot and start the fire.
Wang Youzhen stared at the small crockpot seriously, and continued to think about the plan in his heart.
Dilute sulphuric acid can neutralize iron and melt it into water and gas.
As long as there is a certain amount of dilute sulfuric acid, a large hole can be made in the iron grinding disc and the silver inside can be taken out.
The preparation of sulfuric acid requires a strong chemical foundation, and a series of chemical machinery such as transformation gas desulfurization towers, absorption towers, and debenzene towers are built.
In the Ming Dynasty, where Wang Youzhen is located, there is not even a steam engine, let alone a chemical industry system.
Fortunately, Wang Youzhen has a lot of industrial knowledge, and he has found a simple method of preparing sulfuric acid.
Saponica dry distillation.
With the method of preparing sulfuric acid, the next step is to find raw materials.
Wang Youzhen searched back and forth for several months, and finally found out that on a hill dozens of miles west of Yanchi Village, there were stones similar to soap alum.
Then he found the third uncle and asked the third uncle to bring back a few large pieces of soap alum from the hill.
A few days ago, the soap alum stone was sent over, and Wang Youzhen began to dry distill sulfuric acid, implementing the plan that had been planned for a long time.
The production of sulfuric acid is preceded by an important precondition for the storage of sulfuric acid.
Generally, glassware with good sealing is used, and now it is the Ming Dynasty that has no industrial foundation at all, and Wang Youzhen can only continue to use the local method because of the ugliness.
Use a crockpot that won't be corroded by strong acids, and get some lacquer to apply to the lid.
It was continuously dry distilled for several days.
After preparing a small half jar of sulfuric acid, Wang Youzhen stood up from the corner of the wall and moved his body and began to prepare dilute sulfuric acid.
Wang Youzhen picked up the water scoop that had been prepared next to him and poured distilled water into the crockpot.
Due to its proximity to the sea, the well water has a certain alkalineness, so it can only be prepared by pouring clean distilled water.
Until the jar of sulfuric acid is filled, the dilute sulfuric acid is basically successfully prepared.
Wang Youzhen put the dilute sulfuric acid on the wooden shelf next to him, and a smile appeared on his tired face: "In Daming, which does not have any industrial base, the world's first chemical product was produced. ”
"I've made history."
Not only has history been created, it is not an exaggeration to say that the father of the chemical industry is the last sentence.
However, Wang Youzhen looked down on a father of the chemical industry.
He wants to be the father of industry in the Ming Dynasty.
