Abstract: This invention relates to the substantial reduction of emission of noxious gases into the atmosphere. More specifically, this invention relates to a system for saturating mist eliminators in conjunction with the sulfuric acid plant to remove SO.sub.3 gas during an upset condition upstream of the mist eliminators. The system involves the spraying of sulfuric acid onto conventional mist eliminators to substantially saturate the same so that when contact is made with the mist eliminators by the SO.sub.3 gas the same will be absorbed and be removed and will be prevented from being emitted to the atmosphere.

Abstract: A process of manufacturing liquid fertilizer from ortho phosphoric acid is described herein. Specifically, the process involves extracting ortho phosphoric acid from phosphate rock using sulfuric acid in the usual manner. The ortho phosphoric acid is then concentrated to a P.sub.2 O.sub.5 content of 30-58% by weight. The wet process ortho phosphoric acid is then ammoniated at a carefully controlled pH in a range of about 3.0 to 5.5. Water and commercial clays are added to the ammoniated phosphoric acid during ammoniation or after ammoniation. A stable non-gelling suspension fertilizer results.

Abstract: A system for collecting dust during drilling operations in a mine with a roof drill machine is described herein. The system consists of a mobile roof drilling machine having a conical shaped dust-collecting bowl adjacent to the surface being drilled. It is provided with annular space between the drill and the conical dust-collecting system to allow the drill to be injected into the roof of the mine. The system has a strong suction mechanism tangentially associated on each side of the dust-collecting system so as to provide a swirling motion of the falling dust particles.
