  • Salt reclamation system
    Patent number: 4109897
    Abstract: A salt reclamation system especially for use with molten salt baths used for treating articles by immersion of the articles in the bath and then withdrawal thereof, with resultant drag-out of salt. The salt removed from the bath on the surface of the articles is washed from the articles and the salt-laden wash water is returned to the surface of the molten salt bath, with consequent volatilization of the water, which is withdrawn or dissipated as steam, thereby returning the drag-out salt to the bath.
