I plan to get TCCA Pool tablets for making chlorine gas one day, but they only come in large expensive buckets, so until then I have to make do with
the HCL + bleach generator.
My problem is: I can't figure out a way to separate the chlorine gas from the HCl + bleach liquid mixture at the bottom of the container. The reason
is because I want colloids that form from chlorine reactions such as FeCl3 to settle to the bottom in anhydrous form. Since chlorine is heavy and
sinks, any attempt to pour the liquid out makes the chlorine escape too. I was thinking of an apparatus with a small jar that generates chlorine, with
a tube on top of it leading to another empty jar where the chlorine will displace the air. Since I live in texas, I need to do this without
professional glassware. What tube material is safe for this, preferably something flexible that won't react with chlorine to make carcinogenic
organochlorides such as vinyl chloride. Vinyl tubing is safe? |
