本発明は、石膏等のスラリーを含む溶液中に設

生は顕著である。(Prior art) When performing oxidation, stirring, etc. of a slurry solution (processing liquid) by jetting compressed air with an aeration nozzle, a conventional general nozzle may not be able to In some cases, scale adheres to and grows on the inner wall of the nozzle tip, and the scale eventually blocks the nozzle, eventually rendering it inoperable. Especially gypsum (CaSO 4 2H 2 O),
Calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), slaked lime (Ca(OH) 2 )
The occurrence of this clogging phenomenon is remarkable in a solution containing a slurry such as.

ルを閉塞せしめるためである。 The cause of this blockage of the aeration nozzle is that when air is ejected into the slurry liquid by the aeration nozzle, the slurry liquid flows into areas with low air pressure due to the effects of air flow, changes in dynamic pressure, changes in static pressure due to changes in the liquid level, etc. The slurry liquid flies in and adheres to the inner wall of the nozzle, but this adhered slurry liquid is instantly dried by air and becomes a solid substance. This is because the slurry liquid is further deposited on top of this solid material, repeating dry and wet conditions, and scale grows, eventually clogging the nozzle.

れている。 An example of a conventional aeration device is shown in Fig. 1. In the figure, 1 is a cylindrical storage tank main body, and a compressed air supply pipe 2 is vertically installed from above the center of the storage tank main body 1. 2 is connected to a header pipe 4 located near the center of the tank body 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a plurality of branch pipes that branch radially downward from the header pipe 4, and an aeration nozzle 6 is connected to each tip of the branch pipe 5, which serves as a compressed air outlet. . Reference numeral 7 denotes an inner cylinder disposed concentrically within the tank body 1, and is supported by the tank body 1 by a support plate 8.

塞するに至る。 Due to the air lift effect of air particles of compressed air ejected from each aeration nozzle 6 of the aeration device configured as above, the processing liquid (slurry liquid) inside the inner cylinder 7 becomes a gas-liquid two-phase flow. The processing liquid 9 in the upper part moves down outside the inner cylinder 7, and the slurry solution is circulated, stirred, and processed. In such an aeration device, as mentioned earlier, the scale 10 is deposited on the tip of the nozzle 6 as shown in FIG. 2, and the scale 10 grows until finally, as shown in FIG. As shown, the nozzle 6 is blocked.

目詰りを防止するように構成されている。 As a method for preventing such clogging of an aeration nozzle, there is a method for preventing clogging of an aeration diffuser pipe described in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-27749. This clogging prevention method includes disposing at least one small floating body made of glass or metal in an aeration pipe that exhausts air into an aeration tank, and causing the floating body to move inside the aeration pipe, and
It is configured to constantly inject water into the air diffuser pipe to prevent clogging of the discharge hole of the air diffuser pipe.

Since small floating bodies are placed in the air diffuser pipe and the impact force and fluid pressure are used to remove scale, there are problems such as the need for large amounts of air and water.

の閉塞が防げる。(Function) The water supplied from the water injection pipe is always at the tip of the aeration nozzle, and the inner wall surface of the tip of the nozzle is always kept moist. Therefore, Ca scale components such as gypsum near the inner wall surface will be diluted by the moist water, and no scale will precipitate. Furthermore, even if scale were to precipitate, the inner wall surface at the tip of the nozzle is always in a moist state, so the scale will not adhere to the inner wall surface and will flow out due to the water that is continuously or intermittently supplied. Therefore, clogging of the nozzle can be prevented.

4 indicates a compressed air supply pipe, 4 indicates a header pipe, 5 indicates a branch pipe, 6 indicates an aeration nozzle, 7 indicates an inner cylinder, and 8 indicates a support plate. The components of the conventional aeration system are almost the same as those of the above-mentioned conventional aeration system, except that a water injection pipe 3 is connected to the supply pipe 2 via a T-shaped joint pipe 2a, and water can be injected from the water injection pipe 3 into the compressed air supply pipe 2. The same is true. (Equivalent parts are given the same reference numerals.) In an example of an aeration system implementing the present invention, a water injection pipe 3 is connected to the compressed air supply pipe 2 as described above, and a small amount of water is supplied through the water injection pipe 3. The water 12 is configured to be continuously or intermittently injected into the compressed air supply pipe 2.

ズル6の閉塞現象は発生しない。 Now, when the device starts operating, the compressed air from the compressed air supply pipe 2 is ejected from each aeration nozzle 6, producing the same aeration effect as the conventional device. becomes a mist in the compressed air in the compressed air supply pipe 2,
As a result, the inner wall surfaces of the compressed air supply pipe 2 and each aeration nozzle 6 are constantly kept wet. Therefore, the adhesion of scale to the inner wall surface of each aeration nozzle 6 is reduced, and the scale is pushed out by the compressed air flow and no longer adheres. As a result, the phenomenon of clogging of each aeration nozzle 6 does not occur.
なお、注水配管より供給する水は、ノズル先端
