METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MIXING FLUID MEDIA Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: mixing fluid media by dispersing and emulsifying.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method may be used for intensive mixing of reagents (I,II) in production of emulsions in dispersion device (10)which is provided with rotor/stator system (40, 50) located in container near its lower part. Hot initial product (containing wax for example) may be dispersed with proportioned partial flow (RI') of cold carrier in preliminary mixing chamber (60) through feeder (30, 38) below rotor (50). Mixture thus obtained is again mixed with cold main flow (RI) or with its part (RI") fed from above. As distinguished from known standard dispersion methods when mixing and cutting of components in zone of maximum cutting gradient are performed simultaneously, proposed method is performed at separate time and at separate position of mixing and cutting by delivery of components to preliminary mixing chamber (60). Optimal emulsion is obtained through preparation of homogeneous phase mixture. Main flow and partial flows have different densities of energy, thus enhancing optimal dispersion and emulsification at minimum sizes of particles or drops.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency.
