Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for mixing a bleaching agent into cellulosic pulp, particularly high'consistency pulp having a dry content of, e.g., 8 to 20%.
  • the mixing apparatus of the invention is of the type comprising a casing with an agitating member enclosed therein and provided with vanes or the like, a stationary, radially distributed inlet for the bleaching agent being located near the agitating member.
  • the principal object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for obtaining a uniform mixture of bleaching agent and pulp.
  • a more specific object of the invention is to provide means for mixing by distributing the bleaching agent in a column of pulp fed through the casing, along a continuous helical surface or path.
  • Other objects will also be hereinafter apparent.
  • an apparatus which comprises a casing, agitating means including a rotatable shaft with mixing vanes mounted thereon and positioned within the casing, a stationary, radially positioned inlet for supplying bleaching agent to the casing located adjacent the agitating means, the casing including an end wall transverse to the shaft and having an opening therein for supply of pulp to the casing, the end wall forming a helical surface which extends substantially a complete revolution around the shaft of the agitating means, and a supply conduit connected to the end wall eccentrically to the shaft and communicaiing with the end wall opening, the mixing vanes being positioned to sweep over the opening and carry pulp supplied thcrethrough in a circular path along the helical surface formed by the end wall whereby bleaching agent from the inlet is distributed into the pulp and the latter is advanced axially.
  • FIGURE 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the mixing apparatus
  • FIGURE 2 is a horizontal cross-sectional view taken along the line IlII in FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURES 3 and 4 are corresponding sectional views of a modified embodiment.
  • the'mixing apparatus of the invention is placed at the bottom 11 of a bleach tower (shown in part only) to which cellulosic pulp is supplied through a conduit 13.
  • a conventional bleaching agent meant to react with the pulp in the tower is supplied through a conduit 15 (FIGURE 2).
  • FOGURE 2 the bleaching agent
  • the mixing apparatus comprises a rotary agitating member 17 and a casing enclosing the same and constituting a cylindrical shell 19 which at its upper part merges into the conical bottom part 11 of the bleach tower.
  • An end wall 21 forms the bottom of the casing; In the upward direction, the casing is in completely open communication with the bleach tower.
  • the agitating member 17 is attached to a vertical shaft 23 coaxial to the cylindrical shell 19 of the casing and Patented Nov. 16, 1965 ice - journalled in bearings 25, 27.
  • the shaft extends through connection 13 is located laterally of shaft 23 and forms an orifice 31 of approximately circular configuration which in the radial direction takes up essentially the entire space available between the cylindrical shell 19 and the stuffing box 29.
  • the agitating members 17 comprises a hub 33 attached to the upper end of the shaft 23, a lower series of vanes or blades 35 and an upper series of vanes or blades 37.
  • the vanes 35 are set vertically and in radial planes, whereas the vanes 37 may be inclined or twisted so that they have a certain advancing action upon the pulp in addition to agitating the same.
  • the end wall 21 is provided with concentric annular ledges 39, 41 of a rectangular cross-section rising above the plane bottom surface 43 of the end wall.
  • These ledges have their minimum height at one side of the orifice 31 and rise gradually so that they reach their maximum height at their open ends near the opposite side of the orifice 31.
  • they form inclined planes constituting somewhat less than one complete revolution of a helical surface having the shaft of the agitating memher as its axis and a horizontal line at right angles thereto as its generatrix.
  • the conduit 15 for the supply of the bleaching agent is connected to an outlet nozzle 45 which is approximately radially directed and which is located in the end wall 21 near that edge of the orifice 31 where the ledges 39, 41 have their minimum height.
  • the nozzle 45 extends from the cylindrical shell 19 as far as possiible towards the center and its orifice or outlet aperture is arranged to discharge the bleaching agent in a proportion increasing with the distance from the shaft in order thereby to distribute the bleaching agent evenly over the cross-sectional area of the pulp column moving upwardly in the bleach tower.
  • the vanes of the agitating member are provided in their lower edges with square projections or dents 47 and intermediate recesses 49.
  • the projections 47 extend between the ledges 39, 41 of the end wall of the casing and move closely to its plane surface 43.
  • the recesses 49 run at a varying distance from and above the upper helical surfaces of the ledges.
  • the pulp rising through the orifice 31 is deviated into a circular path by the vanes 35 of the rotary member, the bleaching agent being added to the pulp as the same passes the nozzle 45.
  • the pulp slides upon the evenly rising ledges 39, 41 and is thereby advanced axially upwards, so that when the vanes 35 move above the orifice 31 anew, they will catch a new batch of the pulp.
  • a portion of the pulp will be circulated in sliding contact with the plane parts 43 of the end wall of the casing and will not be advanced axially. Therefore, a displacement in the axial direction will take place between different portions of pulp supplied simultaneously through the orifice 31.
  • due to mingling above the orifice 31 such pulp as has not been axially advanced during its first circular run, will sooner or later be brought above the inclined planes of the ledges and advanced upwardly, too.
  • FIGURES 3 and 4 corresponds closely to the embodiment just described, the same reference numerals being used for corresponding details.
  • the end wall 21 of the casing is made plane and without ledges and, therefore, forms almost a complete turn of a helical surface 44 extending between the sides tically upwards through the casing 19.
  • the mixing between layers on opposite sides of the helical surface is effected by a series of curved blades 38 which are attached to the bottom 11 0f the bleachtower and which extend tangentially and radially inwards, their lower edge being located closely to the surface described by the upper edges 50 of the rotary vanes 35.
  • the mixing apparatus of the invention may also be designed as a separate unit connected to the bleach tower by a tube conduit. Additionally, if desired, the mixing apparatus maybe arranged with its shaft extending horizontally. Other modifications are also contemplated as coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the claims appended hereto wherein:
