MIXER AND REACTOR AND PROCESS INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a mixer, an apparatus comprising the mixer and a reactor, and processes incorporating the same. The mixer comprises an inlet (104) to a chamber (102), wherein the chamber inlet angle is less than 90°. The mixer further comprises an expander zone (106) that expands outwardly at an expander angle of less than 90°. The mixer may be coupled to a reactor at its outlet, which may closely approximate the size of the reactor inlet due to the expander (106).
