In the days that followed, everyone's enthusiasm was simply bursting, and their hearts were filled with a strange sense of accomplishment, because they witnessed the magic brought by industrial technology, and at the same time, they were also the creators and practitioners of this technology.
In the process of the experiment, they added a process of baking sodium bicarbonate in the No. 3 operation area, which directly turned sodium bicarbonate into sodium carbonate, which is the real soda ash, and the carbon dioxide generated by thermal decomposition was re-introduced into the No. 3 brine pool for recycling.
This group of people, who have mastered their respective operation processes, has completely burst out with enthusiasm for work. As long as they look at the piles of alkali in the white flowers, which are made out of nothing, their bodies and minds will be surrounded by a great sense of happiness. In fact, they have ignored the original purpose of alkali production, they just have a simple idea: alkali production, alkali production, and re-alkali production! It's like a child who suddenly gets a new big toy, and he won't get tired of playing with it.
In the end, Abu had no choice but to stop them, otherwise they would squander all the salt they had stored and it would be difficult to survive the winter. If you go outside to mix salt on nine cold days, you will encounter a thousand times more difficulties and hardships.
Abu called all the participants together and held a periodic summary meeting. Through the recent run-in, everyone can master their own business proficiently, and at the same time, they have summed up a lot of experience or areas for improvement.
For example, with the precipitation of sodium bicarbonate, the sodium chloride content of the brine pool will decrease, and the speed of adding and stirring salt will not keep up. If necessary, the saturated brine from the backup pool can be directly channeled into the main pool.
Also, when the ammonium chloride crystallizes, it will stick to the wall very thickly, although it can be scraped off with a knife, but it is more troublesome, and you can find a way to improve it in the future.
In addition, if the temperature of the main brine tank in operation area 3 can be reduced, the solubility can be reduced, so that the precipitation rate of alkali can be accelerated. The cooling method can take the form of water cooling or miscanthus refrigeration. This suggestion was made by Liu Yuanlu, and it seems that he has a very deep understanding of the field of chemistry.
The big guys are talking a lot, gossiping, and it's not lively. Abu can only sigh: The wisdom of the people is infinite, and practice brings true knowledge! Aren't the various proposals they put forward a microcosm of the gradual improvement of the industrial system by future generations? He directly asked someone to record all these experiences, suggestions and problems encountered for future improvement.
The end result was piles of coke, quicklime, soda ash, ammonium chloride, asphalt, and several tanks of kerosene. Abu told everyone what needs to be sealed and what needs to be moisture-proof, and store them in different categories. At the same time, Li Baotian had already followed Abu's instructions and led people over there to start making molds. According to the current soda ash reserves, Abu thinks that a batch of glass plates, glass bowls, and glass lamps should be made for everyone first. Let everyone really feel the power of technology.
For the products produced, it goes without saying that coke can be used directly to make a fire for cooking and heating.
Kerosene was the first to be sought after by everyone, and the traditional rhythm of life was the traditional sunrise and sunset. Oil is needed for lighting at night, and the only mutton fat and butter are not enough for cooking. Therefore, everyone's life at night is generally to tell stories to the children and coax them to sleep, and then the old husband and wife do some physical work up and down, and as soon as they close their eyes, it will be the next day.
Now, with the kerosene lamp lighting, the study that should be studied, the spinning that should be spun, and each doing his own thing. Although the taste is a little big and the light flame is a little dark, it doesn't affect everyone's love for it. At the same time, I sighed in my heart, Mr. Abu is too great, hurry up and learn.
No one cared about quicklime at first, but since they saw Mr. Liu Yuanlu's room, they have changed their minds. The cave where they lived was originally left by long-term river erosion and erosion, and the inner wall was very smooth. After everyone came to live here, according to the number of people, the original cave was used as the main body, and the courtyard was divided into different rooms with stones and clay, and it became a rain-proof, leak-proof, durable stone house.
The only fly in the ointment is that the light inside the house is a little dim, but for people who have just returned from struggling to get enough food, this is not a problem. The most important thing is that people can survive first!
But after looking at Mr. Liu's room, I realized that quicklime could be used in this way. Liu Yuanlu used water to powder quicklime into a surface, and into a paste, the inside and outside of the house were all painted white, after drying, the calcium oxide all turned into hard calcium hydroxide, which is clean and tidy, but also strong and durable, and the corners and corners of the house can be seen in the reflection of light.
At this moment, the whole basin was boiling, and Liu Yuanlu's room became a model room in everyone's minds, back and forth, all kinds of onlookers for reference. In the end, everyone decided to beautify the environment together, first dig a big pit, put quicklime in it, and then inject water and wait for the lime to cool slowly.
When working with his hands, Abu reminds everyone that even if the lime has turned into a paste, it is still very corrosive, and try not to touch hands and skin. But there are still a few people who are impatient, and they directly grab the lime paste with their hands and start to apply it, and the result is that they all take off a layer of skin, but fortunately, the result is not very serious. Let everyone laugh at it, don't listen to the gentleman, and suffer in front of you.
In order not to delay the residence, everyone put several more charcoal basins in the house at the same time to speed up the evaporation of water and the hardening of lime plaster.
The visual impact of the whitewashed residential area is extremely strong, with the towering Tianshan Mountains in the distance, the forest decorated with yellow, red and green leaves, the yellow and green grasslands, the red barren mountains on the left, and the residential areas of everyone, inside and out, are all white.
On both sides of the gray gravel road, neat trees are planted, and two white lime lines are scattered on the side of the road. The public toilets were also sprinkled with lime for disinfection, and the entire residential area got rid of the original gray-brown theme and became sober and elegant.
After Abu's suggestion, let Mr. Wang Daoming, who has a good handwriting, write a number at the door of each house, which is considered the house number of each house. So much so that the names of many famous large enterprises all over the mainland were all simple numbers, which were directly related to the house numbers at this time.
The remaining products are ammonium chloride and bitumen. The ammonium chloride has been sealed at this time, waiting for the next spring season to test the effect. The asphalt is not ready to be used for the time being, when the vigorous blower is generated, and it is not too late to make dolomite refractory bricks.
As for the use of soda ash, we can only wait for the manufacturing progress of Li Baotian's mold.
