Definitions
- the present invention also relates to a device for determining the suspension density p s in flowing suspensions according to the method according to one of Claims 1 to 10, which is characterized in that the device has at least two measuring probes and an apparatus which comprises the suspension or parts thereof freed from the solid composition, and at least one measuring probe is arranged in such a way that it determines the characteristic measured variable of the suspension and the second measuring probe is arranged in such a way that it determines the measured variable of the liquid, that is to say the suspension freed from the solid composition.
- the suspension preferably has a flow rate that ensures the most homogeneous possible suspension of the particles of the solid composition within the flow. In this way, a higher measuring accuracy is achieved.
- the minimum necessary flow velocity, which is necessary to achieve a homogeneous suspension of the solid composition can be determined in a simple manner by means of simple experiments.
- the characteristic parameters used differ for the suspension and the liquid component of the suspension.
- the density of the solid composition preferably differs from the density of the liquid by at least 5%, preferably by at least 20%, particularly preferably by at least 50% and very particularly preferably by at least 100%. The greater the difference in density, the greater the accuracy of the specific solids content.
- the density of the solid composition is greater than that of the liquid, but can also be smaller, such as. B. in the case of water.
- a dead zone in which the second measuring probe measures only the characteristic measured variable of the liquid can also be achieved in a suspension line by using internals. If the dead zone z. B. achieved by partial sedimentation or flotation of the particles relative to the liquid, it is ensured that the liquid is still sufficiently mixed and reflects the state of the liquid in the suspension (in terms of temperature and composition) at all times.
- the measurement of the characteristic measurement variables of the suspension and the liquid is carried out in such a way that the temperature difference between suspension and liquid is less than 1 K, preferably Heiner is 0.5 Kelvin. There is particularly preferably no temperature difference in the temperature of the fluids.
- This can e.g. B. can be achieved in that the separation of the solid composition takes place adiabatically or that in the case of a branching, the measurement takes place at approximately the same location of the respective arms of the branching.
- the temperature of the fluids can also, if this should be necessary from the other process control, z. B. brought to the same temperature within the above limits by using heat exchangers directly in front of the measuring probes.
- the characteristic measured variable of the suspension and the characteristic measured variable of the liquid are determined in parallel.
- This embodiment of the method according to the invention is particularly useful when it is not absolutely necessary to separate the solid composition from the suspension, but the solids content should nevertheless be determined.
- the solids content is again calculated according to formula I or ⁇ .
- the entire suspension stream is not separated from the solid composition, but rather only a partial stream.
- the partial streams can be the same size or have a different size.
- the partial stream in which the solids composition is to be separated is preferably of a smaller size, it being necessary to ensure when separating the streams that the suspensions in the partial streams have the same composition despite the division.
- the measured quantity of the suspension is determined in the first partial stream.
- the density is measured as the characteristic measurement variable.
- the density of the solid composition present in the suspension is required in this process, which z. B. can be determined gravimetrically.
- the density of the solid composition should remain substantially constant, and in certain cases it may be acceptable if the density of the solid composition is less than ⁇ 2%, preferably less than ⁇ 0.5% and particularly preferably less than ⁇ 0.01 % of their mean fluctuates.
- the density of the solid composition is multiple, i. H. is determined at regular or irregular intervals.
- This can e.g. B. gravimetrically in a manner known to those skilled in the art (z. B. displacement method).
- the solid composition is separated from the suspension. This can be done by means that are already available for performing the method according to the invention, or in the laboratory with the usual methods, such as. B. Filter Verfschreiben with suction filters and subsequent drying in a drying cabinet.
- the regular intervals can be chosen arbitrarily.
- An at least daily determination has proven useful since it is checked at least once a day whether the density DF used in formula I still corresponds to the true value.
- the accuracy of the method according to the invention can be increased by determining the density DF much more frequently. Is the inventive method part of an overall process in which differently composed suspensions file, such as. B. in discontinuous processes, it goes without saying that the density DF must be redetermined each time the suspension composition changes.
- the method according to the invention is preferably suitable for determining the solids content (suspension density) in suspension crystallization methods, in the treatment of waste water streams which have solids, or in solution / melt crystallization processes.
- the method is particularly preferably suitable for determining the suspension density of suspensions which have a solids composition which either have only one solid or, in the case of a plurality of solids, only have a constant percentage composition.
- the method according to the invention is very particularly preferably suitable for determining the suspension density in suspensions which have only one type of solid, that is to say only one compound, as a solid in the solid composition.
