Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and systems for the hydrodynamic mixing of fluids at or near common liquid density values. More specifically, the invention and its embodiments relate to mixing fluids in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and/or supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and other high pressure applications where phases of dramatically different density, viscosity, and volumetric flow require mixing.
- HPLC high performance liquid chromatography
- UHPLC ultra-high performance liquid chromatography
- SFC supercritical fluid chromatography
- FIG. 1 An example of an HPLC, UPLC or SFC system 10 is illustrated in Figure 1 .
- the system 10 comprises two pumps 14 and 20 each pumping from a reservoir 12 and 18 which contain different types of solvent.
- the pumps are two HPLC-type reciprocating pumps.
- a first pump 14 draws a compressible fluid such as carbon dioxide from reservoir 12 and outputs the compressible fluid, to flow line 16.
- pump 20 draws an organic liquid such as methanol and outputs the fluid to flowline 22.
- the carbon dioxide and modifier are combined at junction 24, creating a mixture of modifier dissolved into the near critical or supercritical fluid C02.
- the combined supercritical fluid is pumped at a controlled mass- flow rate from the mixing column 26 through transfer tubing at a fixed-loop injector 28 where the sample of interest is injected into the flow system.
- the sample combines with the compressed modifier fluid inside the injection valve 28 and discharges into at least one packed chromatography column 30. After fractionation of the sample occurs in the column 30, the elution mixture passes from the column outlet into a detector 32. After detection, a fraction may be directed by valve 34 into a collection system 36 or sent to a waste collector 38.
- Reciprocating dual-piston pumps are the preferred equipment for high pressure fluid delivery in modern HPLC and commercial offerings. The pumps have the advantage of being able to generate near continuous streams of fluids at very high differential pressures.
- FIG. 1 shows a binary pumping system.
- flow trace A shows flow at the output of first pump A
- flow trace B shows flow output of a second pump B
- Flow trace C shows the system total flow which additively combines traces A and B.
- pump lags tend to have a reverse effect on relative composition of two components.
- a lag in flow trace A results in a composition rise in pumped component B.
- Figure 3 charts the changes in %B composition as a result of the pumping behavior of Traces A and B.
- Inline and tee type static mixers are common in the implementation of HPLC systems. Use of such mixers improves the local uniformity of mobile phase composition by elimination of local concentration gradients resulting from fluidic joining of two or more flow streams containing different compositions. Failure to fully mix the flow streams can result from differences in viscosity, flow turbulence, density, miscibility, and geometry of the mixing region and uniformity of the volumetric flow of each stream.
- Standard inline mixers typically provide a combination of tortuous mixing paths and sufficient open diffusional volume to allow good local concentration equilibration for multiple streams of constant flow volume.
- HPLC systems typically employ reciprocating piston pumps which virtually guarantee periodic lapses of flow for each stream. Since the streams are typically at different and often variable rates, such flow lapses are considered asynchronous relative to each other. The result of such flow lapses is an instantaneous enrichment of the concentration of the other flow stream composition.
- Conventional mixers have a more difficult time dealing with such spatially distant concentration gradients since it would require large delay volumes to allow the various regions to diffuse together.
- flow segments of high concentration must diffuse forward and backward relative to the flow stream across fairly long paths to mix fully. Such longitudinal mixing occurs to a degree under laminar flow conditions where the center of a flow tube travels approximately twice as fast as the wall flow.
- the various embodiments described as devices, systems, and methods of the present invention provide designs and techniques that solve many of the problems of existing flowstream mixing technology.
- the invention described herein has the desirable effect of promoting mixing of both local and spatially distant flow elements entering at one end of the mixing device and exiting at the other. While mixing of proximate flow elements is rather well accomplished in the prior art, the ability to bring two flow elements that are significantly spatially separated along the axis of a flow conduit is not well established.
- the basis of the current invention is to combine two or more conventional mixing zones which mix proximate flow elements, wherein the connecting conduit between each pair of mixing zones provides a near infinite number of paths into and out of the respective mixing zones.
- FIG. 1 Another embodiment of the invention is designed to optimize longitudinal mixing of two flow streams under isocratic or gradient elution chromatographic conditions, while maintaining good local mixing at low internal volume relative to the standard flowrates of the system. This goal is accomplished by providing discrete regions within an embodiment that sequentially allow local diffusional mixing, eddy mixing, radial mixing, selective adsorption isotherms and a multitude of different paths of very different flow distances between the inlet and outlet ports of the mixer. It is the individual and coupled effects of the last two mixing features of the mixer that can dramatically impart superior longitudinal mixing that can allow dramatic broadening of various flow elements within the low total volume of the mixer body and thereby cause mixing of elements initially separated in either time or space from one another.

- FIG. 9 is a flowchart describing an exemplary mixing process.
- mixer apparatus (“mixer” or “mixing column”) 100 of the preferred and alternative embodiments replaces prior mixing devices in chromatography systems such as mixer 26 shown and described in the system of Figure 1 .
- Conduit 180 provides an inlet flowpath into mixer 100 of a combined mobile phase flowstream fluid that is pumped or pressurized under isocratic or gradient elution chromatographic conditions S400.
- conduit 190 provides an outlet path from mixer 100 of the mobile phase fluid.
- an embodiment for mixer 100 is comprised of a hollow porous element such as cylinder 1 10 housed within close fitting, leak proof housing 120.
- the center channel of cylinder 1 10 is blocked by nonporous or highly flow resistant barrier 130 creating a first cylindrical mixing cavity 140 and a second cylindrical mixing cavity 150 within the interior of porous cylinder 1 10.
- a third annular cavity 160 is created between the outer wall of cylinder 1 10 and the inner wall of housing 120. Sealing end caps 170 are fixed to cylinder 1 10 at each end and prevent any flow into or out of annular cavity 160 except through the porous wall of cylinder 1 10.
- the end caps 170 are constructed to allow entry of fluid flow from a first conduit 180 of the housing 120 in communication with first mixing cavity 140 and allow exit of fluid flow out of a second conduit 190 of the second mixing cavity 150.
- Any or all of the cavities 140, 150, 160 may be enhanced to provide local turbulence or eddy current formation to enhance local mixing of proximate flow segments.
- Such enhancements may include, but are not limited to, spherical packings, helical flow diverters, tortuous baffles, glass or steel wool and others.
- the porous cylinder may be constructed of sintered metal or polymer, screens or woven or hot spin fibers as well as a variety of other materials. Two preferred aspects of the porous cylinder are high surface area and wettability to at least one of the
- Combined mobile phase fluid from two or more flow streams is directed under pressure into entry conduit 180 of the housing S400.
- the fluid enters first cylindrical mixing cavity 140 where it is allowed to mix by laminar, diffusional and eddy current phenomena created by flow into the cavity S410.
- mixing cavity 140 adequate mixing occurs in proximate flow elements such that their compositions become nearly indistinguishable.
- the fluid is then forced through the wall of porous cylinder 1 10 to outer annular cavity 160 (S420). This path provides radial mixing of the fluid column since the flow must be directed orthogonally and radially from its entry flow direction. More importantly, fluid elements are directed to enter annular cavity 160 at very different locations along the longitudinal axis of the mixer 100.
- Adjacent flow elements entering the original cavity are randomly dispersed both radially and longitudinally into annular cavity 160.
- the result is a high degree of spatial separation between formerly proximate flow elements and opportunity for recombination with other flow elements from either earlier or later entry into the entry cavity 140.
- Flow continues along the annular cavity bypassing flow barrier 130 within cylinder 1 10 (S430) and through the porous cylinder wall into a second cylindrical cavity 150, where again flow elements are longitudinally dispersed with regard to their entry point through wall of porous cylinder 1 10 (S440).
- Second cylindrical cavity 150 again provides diffusional, radial and eddy mixing prior to exiting the mixer via conduit 190.
- line 230 traces the path of two pumped fluids on an averaged path through mixer 100. Fluid streams 200 and 210 initially mix at tee 220 which can be mechanically incorporated into mixer housing 120 as a single assembly as desired. The outlet flow of tee 220 forms the imperfectly mixed flow stream subject to pumping lulls and concentration and flow variations.
- Flow path 230 traces the average path of a flow element through the inlet conduit, first mixing cavity, the annular cavity and second mixing cavity and outlet conduit described in Figure 5.
- Flow path 230 is only an average path for flow elements and may vary among the multitude of flow paths available.
- portions of the fluid flow stream may enter at the extremes of the annular channel and some follow the shortest path around flow barrier 130.
- This concept can then be extended all around the circular cross section of the annular cavity of mixer 100 to provide an unlimited number of possible flow paths for individual flow elements between the two mixing cavities based on varying distances alone.
- baffles in the annular cavity that induced spiral flow could be used to provide an unlimited number of possible flow paths for individual flow elements between the two mixing cavities based on varying distances alone.
- a general assumption of the design of mixer 100 is that flow elements permeate the wall of porous cylinder 1 10 at a fairly uniform rate over the available surface of a given cavity. This is based on the rapid equilibration of pressure within each cavity as the result of flow. Some minor flow will travel longitudinally through the porous wall 1 10 but this is likely to be a minor fraction of the total flow. Regardless, longitudinal flow through the wall of porous cylinder 1 10 acts simply as another variable length path for flow elements through the mixer. Since the radial delivery of flow into and out of annular cavity 160 is relatively uniform, the profile of velocity in the
- the average linear velocity of flow in a cross section of annular cavity 160 is known as its flux.
- the flux for annular cavity 160 is lowest at the extreme ends of the cavity where fluid is just starting to enter or completing exiting cavity 160. Flux increases continuously as more flow is added to cavity 160 up to flow barrier 130 where no additional permeation from cavity 140 is allowed. In the region of annular cavity 160 adjacent to flow barrier 130, the flux is approximately constant at its highest point since no flow is added or removed from the cavity 160. Just past this point, flow begins to be lost from annular gap 160 and the flux decreases. The result of this velocity profile is that a flow element entering at the beginning of annular cavity 160 and leaving at the farthest distance experiences both a longer path and a lower average velocity.
- a second aspect of the design of mixer 100 also contributes to longitudinal dispersion of at least one component of the flow stream. This occurs within porous cylinder 1 10 itself and its effect is dependent on the wettability and total surface area contacted by the fluid stream. When a fluid contacts a wettable surface, it tends to spread out on the surface to form as much contact as possible area. This can be a very strong force as seen when a narrow capillary tube draws a liquid to a significant height against gravity to achieve this wetting action. Generally a balance will be struck between the surface tension of the fluid, gravity forces and this capillary force to end the travel upward. This effect is true in mixtures as well and can affect one component of the mixture much more than another.
- Porous sintered metal is described earlier as a preferred component for the porous cylinder 1 10 and is wettable by polar solvents such as water and alcohols.
- polar solvents such as water and alcohols.
- This material When this material is exposed to flow containing such solvents it tends to form a film of the polar solvent on its surface to some degree based on the concentration of the polar solvent concentration. This film then acts as a reservoir the can adsorb additional solvent when local concentrations increase and desorb solvent when local concentrations decrease.
- the beneficial result of this behavior is to resist small changes in the local concentration of the flowing fluid as might result from the pumping lulls described earlier and disperse the change over a larger volume of flow. The greater the surface area of exposure, the greater the effect. Obviously, too much of a good thing causes problems. In gradient elution
- FIG. 7 An alternative embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Figure 7. This embodiment demonstrates the extensibility of adding additional mixing cavities to the design.
- the displayed number of mixing stages is exemplary and can be extended as needed for an application.
- Mixer 300 in Figure 3 displays a mixer with three flow barriers 310, 320 and 360 forming three mixing cavities 330, 340 and 350.
- At least one flow barrier 360 is formed within annular cavity 160 thereby creating a first annular cavities space 370 that receives flowstream fluid from first mixing cavity 330 and delivers flow to intermediate mixing cavity 340 and a second annular cavity space 380 that conducts randomized accelerated transport of flow elements between mixing cavities 340 and 350.
- Flow behavior between any two adjacent mixing cavities remains as described earlier.
- Mixing cavity 340 is shown to be packed with metal spheres 390 as a means of limiting volume and
- a third preferred embodiment is shown in Figure 8 as mixer 400.
- a first individual porous element 410 and a second individual porous element 420 are fabricated as cup-shaped sintered frits arranged in housing 430 with their open ends facing outward.
- Mixing cavities 440,450 are created by the hollow cavities of the cup design.
- Barrier 460 is fabricated from a nonporous sheet of metal or polymer and positioned between porous elements 410 and 420. Perforations 470 are included in barrier 460 to allow flow along annular cavity 480.
