METHOD OF CONDUCTING MECHANOCHEMICAL REACTIONS AND REACTOR FOR REALISING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C07C63/00 B01J3/00 B01J19/10 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: method of conducting mechanochemical reactions during compression, temperature, pressure and ultrasonic treatment of starting material in a reactor involves processing the mass with an auger. The processed mass in volume of 10-90% reversibly enters through reactor channels into a multiple compression zone and ultrasonic treatment carried out using a double-frequency annular ultrasonic concentrator the frequency of which differs from each other by 0.01-15%. The mechanochemical reactor includes a housing 1, a shaft 5 rotated by a drive, a starting material receiving container 4, an auger 2, a mouthpiece 9 and an ultrasonic generator. The reactor housing 1 is in form of a polyhedron with channels 12 along the axis of the housing 1, with combs 11 in the channels. The ultrasonic generator is an annular ultrasonic concentrator 8. The reactor enables to obtain salts of humic acids from a mixture of peat and alkali which makes up 10-20% of the weight of peat in the dry equivalent.

EFFECT: method and apparatus enable to obtain a homogenised product in a reactor in which an efficient mechanochemical reaction takes place to obtain natural ecologically clean fertiliser.
