Re:acidchat. I don't do these myself but we put in orders for these every single day in mining.4-acid digest posted:Multi-acid digestion uses a combination of HCl (hydrochloric acid), HNO3 (nitric acid), HF (hydrofluoric acid) and HClO4 (perchloric acid). Because hydrofluoric acid dissolves silicate minerals, these digestions are often referred to as 'near-total digestions'. I guess the difference is that in mining the amount of money is so ridiculous, you can just use an 8-figure machine to do all this stuff for you as opposed to throwing grad students at it.

You need a special hood/ventilation system for the perchloric acid else it builds up in the ductwork and goes boom.

Nerses IV posted:I cracked open a three gallon jug of nitric acid putting my lawnmower back in to the garage on sunday Dude I got questions. That sounds like an absolute shitload of nitric acid to be cracking up. How strong was it? Do you really need that much, at floor height, in something that'll crack from a lawnmower? And hell while we're at it, what is it that you do with it that you can't do with like phosphoric acid? You're not making fertilizer or rocket fuel are you?

The people complaining here don't seem aware that there's literally dozens of nuclear reactors both on and under the ocean in various navies already. Not that I even remotely trust Russian engineering, but it's still a long solved problem.

Speaking of nox, back in chemistry class we were synthesizing a nox that had to be chilled or it would boil off in room temperature creating happy little nox clouds, inside the fume hoods. This was also a bit of a contest starting from equal amounts of reagent, and the team with the sharpest lab skills would win by merit of having the highest yield in the end, in their fume hoods. Then yay someone won, and then everyone had to clean up their glassware, in their fume hoods. These were the instructions: "Your glassware is now covered in nox and therefore has to be cleaned meticulously. This can be done by rinsing it thoroughly in cold water. WARNING: This must be done inside a fume hood. " My friend who is the smartest idiot I know followed these instructions literally line by line and was perplexed when everyone started coughing. He hadn't gotten to the final line yet. E: m-w won't agree with me on this one, but I think this is where the word "noxious" comes from.

In an emergency you dump the core. Once everything calms down you pick it back up, return it to service like nothing happened.

Asimo posted:The people complaining here don't seem aware that there's literally dozens of nuclear reactors both on and under the ocean in various navies already. Yes, but all of the current reactors are able to move under their own power, and presumably avoid major storms. Subs can dive below storms, while surface ships can drive away. This thing can only be towed, and is far more subject to damage because of it. Not that being able to move has kept Russia from putting several nuclear powered subs on the bottom anyways. We've(the US) done it twice, but not in the last 50 years.
