A process and apparatus for accelerating dry solid particles entrained in a fluid stream to a high velocity, and decreasing the velocity of the fluid stream without appreciably decreasing the velocity of the particles. The particles which are directed toward a liquid strike and enter the liquid where they are dissolved. The apparatus comprises a nozzle having a flared outlet for greatly decreasing the velocity of the exiting fluid stream so that upon striking the liquid, the fluid stream itself does not materially disturb the liquid, but without appreciably decreasing the velocity of the heavier dry particles which therefore continue to travel at high velocity, striking and penetrating the surface of the liquid. A muffler attached to the nozzle and partially immersed in the liquid muffles the noise generated by the apparatus.
