Mike:
I can describe to you tube furnaces based on a design I used at the USGS
and improved upon when I was at the University of Vermont. The furnaces
were designed to be used either for off-line combustion of sulfide and
sulfate minerals, or in the heating of nickel reaction vessels of a
conventional silicate fluorination line. They may be used horizontally or
vertically and the temperature may be varied from ambient to 1200°C. They
are are probably larger and more expensive than the ones Henry Schwarcz
describes, but they should last longer. E-mail me directly if interested.
