Assembly of Apparatus For Determination of Carbon Dioxide in Lime

This document describes the assembly of an apparatus for determining the carbon dioxide content of lime. The apparatus consists of a series of U-tubes containing desiccants like calcium chloride and reagents to absorb moisture and carbon dioxide as hydrochloric acid is introduced to react with the lime sample. The U-tubes are connected with rubber tubing and suspended from a cross-bar to allow air to be passed through the system under pressure or suction to measure the carbon dioxide released.

ASSEMBLY OF APPARATUS FOR DETERMINATION OF

CARBON DIOXIDE IN LIME

ASSEMBLY OF APPARATUS FOR DETERMINATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE IN LIME


IS 6932-2(1973) standard ( Part II ) covers ‘method of test for determination of carbon dioxide content of
building lime.

Details
The system consists of a U-tube A with anhydrous granulated calcium chloride and another U-tube B with soda
asbestos, funnel C with a glass stopcock S and a bent inlet glass tube (projecting below the acid level) is used
to introduce hydrochloric acid into the generating flask D .
Condenser E condenses most of the water and hydrochloric acid. The U-tube F contains zinc pallets to react with
residual acid, if any acid to absorb moisture. Bubbler G contains concentrated Sulphuric. The U-tube Hr contains
pumice stone, impregnated with anhydrous copper Sulphate to remove traces of hydrogen Sulphide.
Pumice stone is prepared by crushing it to approximately 5 mm size, shifting it free from dust and then
transferring 60 g of it to a casserole, it is then covered with a concentrated solution of 30 to 35 g of copper
Sulphate and then evaporated to dryness while stirring constantly.
It is then heated for 3 to 4 hours at 150 to 160`C, cooled in a desiccators and preserved in a glass-stopper
bottle. U-tube H contains anhydrous granulated calcium chloride in one limb and anhydrous magnesium
perchlorate in the other to remove the last traces of moisture.
U-tubes J 1 and J contain both soda asbestos and anhydrous magnesium perchlorate in each limb to absorb
carbon dioxide. U-tube X contains anhydrous granulated calcium chloride and anhydrous magnesium perchlorate
in each limb to protect the end of the train against moisture. U-tubes are suspended from a cross bar Jv .
Two retort stands L and M carry the cross bar N . All joints are made of stout-walled rubber tubing with the ends
of the glass tubes touching each other. Means are provided to pass air through the system either under pressure
or by suction. Supplied without chemicals, Electronic Balance and distilled water plant.

Chemical required:(optional)
1.Calcium chloride
2.Soda asbestos
3.Zinc pallets
4.Pumice stone
5.Sulfuric acid
6.Copper sulfate
7.Magnesium percolate
8. Hydrochloric acid
