Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0945168A1] The mixing of difficult-to-mix materials, e.g. water and polyacrylamide suspension, comprises injecting air into both components and providing variable mixing stream profiles in a static mixer. When components are difficult to mix, e.g. water and polyacrylamide suspension, air is injected into both components as they enter a mixing chamber. The gas enters through a nozzle (3) at the top and water is fed into the base. Air connections (6,7) enter the nozzle, and a water bath through an aerator (10). The water passes upward through a floor (11) to be put into rotation by a fixed vane (12). An indirect level sensor (2) and the position of the vane, whose level is variable, automatically control the profile of the rotating water. The gas/air mixture passes through a water-free zone (1) and, when mixed, passes through a perforated floor (13) to an outlet (9). The process can be carried out at elevated pressure or partial vacuum. The capacity of the smallest mixer is about 1 liter and the mixing time is measured in seconds.
