Definitions
- the present invention is directed to an improved mixing device, more specifically, to a mixing device intended for use in situations in which precise control of the ratio of liquids is required and wherein turbulent flow is not feasible.
- Jet mixers for mixing of two or more liquid phases have been known in the art. However, they all suffer from certain very important deficiencies.
- Orifice and whirl mixers are also known in the art. These devices contain various inserts in the mixing tube which cause repeated deflection or velocity change of the liquids flowing. By virtue of causing these changes, the desired mixing is obtained. However, these devices often form stagnant zones wherein no appreciable mixing takes place. Furthermore, their capacity is quite limited due to the necessity to have certain fixed flow cross sections.
- injector mixers also known in the art
- the second liquid component or feed liquid is drawn into the main process liquid stream by passing it through a plurality of feed nozzles. These nozzles cause jet stream and develop the desired mixing.
- only a slight mixing effect is obtained as the orifices tend to clog and cleaning is difiicult. Furthermore, where viscous liquids are being used, the amount of actual mixing is minimized.
- a mechanical continuous mixer In an attempt to overcome these problems, a mechanical continuous mixer has been devised.
- the feed liquid is introduced into the process liquid stream through a fairly wide opening.
- a mechanical mixer such as a propeller
- This type of device suffers from the same deficiencies as the orifices and whirl mixers. These devices operate on fixed flow cross sections and consequently if the ratio of feed liquid to process liquid is to vary then the mixing effect will vary with the relative velocities.
- the purity of the lactam is indicated by the melting point, the permanganate index (PZ), the volatile base index (FBZ) and the so-called APHA index.
- P2 is the time in seconds required to decolor 1 ml. of an n/ KMnO, solution, admixed to 100 ml. of a 1 percent aqueous lactam solution, to the hue of an equal quantity of reference solution.
- the reference solution is produced by dissolving 3 g. of CoCl 6H O and 2 g. of CuSO 5H O in l l. of water.
- the FBZ is determined by distilling from a solution of 20 g. of lactam in 200 ml. of In NaOH, 100 ml.
- n/lO acid determined by back titration and equivalent to the bases distilled over, in milliliter, represents the volatile base index.
- the APHA index is determined by comparison of a 40 percent aqueous lactam solution with the dilution series of a standard solution.
- the standard solution contains 1.245 g. of chlorplatinate K PtCl and l g. of cobalt chloride in l l. of water and corresponds to 500 APHA units.
- the single FIGURE is a cross section device.
- Pipe 1 is provided with bore 2 through which the process liquid flows. As shown in the Figure, the flow is fromright to left. Bore 2 is provided with a downstream portion 12 which flares out at a first angle B with the axis of the bore. In addition, in the preferred form of the invention the upstream side of the bore also flares providing a Venturi effect in the process liquid stream.
- Throat l0 constitutes a constriction in bore 2 at which feed nozzles 7 are located.
- Nozzles 7 open into bore 2 at openings 8 and connect at their other end with annular chamber 6.
- the feed liquid is introduced into chamber 6 and is jetted into the main stream of the process liquid at a velocity of at least twice the velocity of the process liquid stream and preferably up to fifteen times the velocity of the process liquid stream.
- Nozzles 7 are generally cylindrical in cross section and the axis of the cylinder is arranged at a second angle A with the axis of the bore upstream of nozzles 7.
- Angle A (the second angle) is from 30-90 and is preferably between 30 and 75.
- Angle B the first angle is up to about l5and preferably from 3 to 15.
- each nozzle 7 a closure is provided on each nozzle 7.
- the closure consists of conical tip 5 which is complementary in shape to nozzle 7.
- Tip 5 is mounted on valve stem 4 which in turn is threaded into valve body 3. Rotation of valve stem 4 in one direction causes conical tip 5 to advance from the open position (shown in the upper portion of the Figure) to the closed position (shown in the lower portion of the Figure).
- the rate of flow of feed liquid can be controlled by a suitable adjustment of the positron of conical tip 5 relative to nozzle 7.
- the feed liquid is supplied to annular chamber 6 via inlet 13 which is connected to a source of pressure in order to cause the desired flow of feed liquid.
- the device as described herein has no stagnant areas of liquid flow and desired thorough and intimate mixing is possible without the necessity of developing any turbulence or flow eddies.
- the nozzles are easy to clean should they begin to clog simply by advancing the conical tips into nozzles 7 whereby any encrustations are cleared. This cleaning can be carried out without the necessity of shutting down the apparatus or interrupting the flow for more than a fraction of a second.
- Apparatus for admixture of a feed liquid to a process liquid at least one of which is of high viscosity comprising a pipe having a generally cylindrical bore, said process liquid flowing in said pipe, a throat in said bore, a portion of said bore downstream of and adjacent to said throat being wider than said throat and forming a first angle between said portion and the axis of said bore up to about 15, a plurality of feed nozzles for injection of said feed liquid disposed in said pipe, said nozzles being positioned around the periphery of said pipe and extending between a source of said feed liquid and said bore, said nozzles opening into said bore at said throat and being generally cylindrical in cross section, the axis of any of said nozzles forming a second angle with a portion of the axis of said bore upstream of said nozzle of between 30 to 75, whereby said feed liquid is injected through said nozzles and mixed with said process liquid, the axes of all said nozzles crossing the centerline of said bore at a point adjacent the
- Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said source of feed liquid comprises an annular chamber in said pipe and adjacent said throat.
- Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein there is provided means for injecting said feed liquid at a velocity greater than twice the velocity of said process liquid.
- a method for admixture of eed liqui to a process liquid comprising flowing said process liquid along a predetermined substantially straight path, providing a throat in said path, providing a widening portion of said path downstream of said throat, providing a plurality of entrance paths for said feed liquid into said process liquid and selectively feeding said feed liquid through less than all of said entrance paths into said process liquid at said throat at an entry angle of 30 to to the upstream portion of said process liquid, said feed liquid being injected at a velocity of at least twice the velocity of said process liquid, said process liquid and said feed liquid forming a stream downstream of said throat, permitting said stream to widen at an exit angle of up to about 15 with the center line of said process liquid.
- a method according to claim 9, wherein the velocity of said feed liquid is from 2 to 15 times the velocity of said process liquid.
