Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to claim 1 for removing gas, particularly inert gas bubbles, from process solutions. Moreover, the invention also relates to an arrangement according to claim 15 for removing gas from a solution.
  • the bubbles cause aerosol emissions, such as acid and metal emissions to the environment, when being released from the liquid surface of the reactor. Emissions cause health hazards when a possibly toxic gas is emitted from process conditions to the environment, and problems related to corrosion may also occur. It is well known that the removal of gas bubbles from solutions is difficult, and various different arrangements have been developed to solve the problem.
  • the degassing equipment includes a cylindrical container, into which liquid is fed tangentially, as it is set in a rotary, downwardly oriented motion.
  • the released gas bubbles are removed in countercurrent to the flow from the top part of the container, which is the most essential drawback of said invention.
  • the object of the invention is to solve problems related to gas removal.
  • the invention relates to eliminating the hazardous effects caused by gas bubbles when processing liquids containing solid substances.
  • the preferred embodiments of the invention are set forth in the dependent claims.
  • the object of the invention is realized by means of a method according to the independent claim 1 for removing gas, particularly inert gas bubbles, from process solutions, wherein a container containing process solution is provided with means both for feeding gas and solution into a container and for removing gas and solution from the container, said container comprising a separate gas removal tank set therein, into which tank the solution is fed tangentially at the lower part of the gas removal tank, and in which gas removal tank the solution is conducted in a helical, upwardly oriented motion, while the gas bubbles are removed from the top part of the gas removal tank.

  • the diameter and height of the gas removal tank are chosen so that the delay time of the solution containing gas bubbles in the gas removal tank is advantageously at least 10 seconds. The faster the achieved helical flow and the longer the achieved delay time of the solution in the gas removal tank, the more effective is the merging together of gas bubbles.
  • the solution is conducted to proceed into an intermediate space left in between the gas removal tank and the container.
  • gas removal is made more effective by adjusting the solution flow rate in the intermediate space.

  • the functional capacity of the invention was estimated by measuring the sizes of the gas bubbles in the intermediate space left in between the cyclone and the tank, at the depth of 630 mm from the free fluid level. The measurement volume is background illuminated by an immersed light, and the pictures were recorded with a digital camera. The contours of the gas bubbles, and therethrough the size of the gas bubbles, could be defined through the gradient of the image intensity.
