THE MANUFACTURE OF NITRO-GLYCERINE

The mixed acids, nitric and sulphuric, are brought in the manufacturing building, and discharged by air pressure into an overhead task, whence the liquid gravitates to the nitra. tom. The converter vessel or nitrator is made of thick lend, solidly burned together, Barned into the bottom are coils of air pipes, perforated to admit air, for i. all these dangerous processes stiring is require land air is the most easy and frictionless means of agitating à liquid. The acids having been run int she converter, the glycerine is sprayed by an air inspirator, which divides it into thin panici:s Meantime, air rites from the pipes in the converter bottom, and the temperature is carefully watched. A a safety precaution, the whale room is buili above a deep lank of cold water, and in case of emergency a single movement of a lever will discharge the co tents of the ultrator into this large tank. Temply the nitrator waste acid is run in at the bottom and the nitrated glyer, tide is thus forced to overflow,
