gas condenser ro, ro communication fifth reactor 15 and exhaust gas condenser 5 fifth, sixth
reaction Ro 16 communicates with a sixth exhaust gas condenser 6, a first condenser, a second
condenser 2, a condenser 3 a third, a fourth condenser 4, the fifth and the sixth reactor condenser
5 16 ro fluid communication respectively with the first reactor via line 11, a first reactor 11,
second reactor 12, a third reactor 13, the fourth reactor 14, the fifth reactor 15 and the sixth
reactor 16 heating means are provided.

[0038] In order to recover Ni carbon dioxide to prevent air pollution, a first condenser, a second
condenser 2, a condenser 3 a third, a fourth condenser 4, a fifth and a sixth condenser condenser
5 6 ro exhaust tank 10 are in communication with the carbon dioxide absorption ni.

[0039] In order to improve the first reactor 11, second reactor 12, a third reactor 13, the fourth
reactor 14, a fifth reactor 15 and the sixth conversion rate and reaction efficiency of the reactor
16, the first reactor 11, second reactor 12, a third reactor

13, the fourth reactor 14, a fifth reactor 15 and the sixth reactor agitator 8 16 are attached.

[0040] The heating means has a plurality of, preferably 7 using a heating mantle, a heating
mantle 7 is mounted on the outer wall of each of reaction vessel, heating mantle, 7 are in
communication via a line with the heat source and the cold water tank.

[0041] In order to achieve automatic control of the PH value of the kettle, the pH value of the
detection of the second reactor 12, a third reactor 13, the fourth reactor 14, are disposed a fifth
reactor 15 and the sixth reactor 16 analyzer 18, a second reactor 12, a third reactor 13, the fourth
reactor 14, a fifth reactor 15 and the sixth reactor via line 16 are communicated with a source of
sodium carbonate solution, each of which are attached to the pipeline flow regulating valve 17,
adjusting the pH value of the flow rate detector 17 in the valve corresponding thereto reactor 18
through a wire communication.
