Linde-Frank-Caro process

Where hydrogen is wanted for commercial purposes, two types of process will generally be found most useful. the electrolytic, where not more than looo cubic feet of hydrogen are required per hour and conditions are such that the oxygen produced can be either advantageously used or sold locally the Iron Contact process, the Linde-Frank-Caro process, or the Badische Anilin Catalytic process, where yields of 3000 and more cubic feet are required per hour. However, local conditions and the requirements of a particular trade may make some of the other processes the more desirable. 

The Linde-Frank-Caro process, the manufacture of water gas will be described. 

Linde-Frank- Caro Process.—The most important ethod of producing hydrogen, in which chemical and lysical methods are employed, is one in which the emical process results in the production of blue water 5, and the physical in the separation of the chemical mpounds (chiefly carbon monoxide) from the hydrogen liquefaction. 

In the Linde-Frank-Caro process the blue water gas is compressed to 20 atmospheres, and under pressure it is passed through water, which removes...
