APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MIXING A LIQUID MATERIAL AND A FLOWABLE POWDERY MATERIAL TO OBTAIN A SLURRY

摘要

The invention discloses a system for mixing a liquid material and a solid material, said system comprising: i) a base unit (22') , for the liquid material and the solid material; ii) a liquid material supply (21) ; iii) a solid material supply (200) ; iv) a liquid/solid mixing output (23) ; and v) an injection unit (20) connected to the liquid material supply and to the solid material supply, said injection unit injecting said liquid material and said solid material in the base unit; vi) a separation and extraction unit (24) simultaneously separating surplus of gas coming from the mixing of the liquid material and the solid material and extracting from the base unit said surplus of gas. Further disclosed is a method for mixing a liquid material and a solid material, said method comprising the steps of : i) mixing the liquid material and the solid material to form a liquid/solid slurry; ii) separating and extracting simultaneously from said liquid/solid slurry surplus of gas coming from the mixing of the liquid and the solid material; and iii) extracting from said liquid/ solid slurry a liquid/solid material substantially without gas.
