Another Kalk reactor

[JohnK]

There is a good sized air space above the output fitting. Are you concerned about precipitate due to the air in the chamber? I designed mine so that the output fitting was on the very top so that there would be minimal air trapped in the chamber.

Not putting down your design, just inquiring into the theroy behind it?

I know if Kalk is exposed to open air there will be precipitate, I'm wondering what if, if there's an air chamber, but it's closed to the atmosphere,

will the o2, co2, or whatever gas reacts with the calk quickly become depleted or will it continue to casue precipitation for an extended period of time?

I was unclear on this so I just designed my reactor so as to only allow a tiny amount of air/gas to remain in the top of the chamber. Does this make sense or is it unnecessary?

I was thinking of building another kalk reactor in the near future and would like to try to get any input I can to idealize the design.

thanks

I hear what your saying, i don't really know the answer to be honest.
