Radial reactor allowing prolonged contact time - comprises enclosure with plates on rotary shaft and conical deflectors for continuous reaction between prods. in different phases

摘要

A radial reactor comprises a vertical enclosure with openings for charging reactants and recovering prods. and in which are disposed an axial rotatory shaft fitted with horizontal plates, and deflecting components to drive the reacting prods. towards the horizontal plates. The deflecting components are pref. constituted by conical deflectors widening towards the top of the reactor and bearing by their upper base on the wall of the reactor. Each incorporates pref. a gutter fixed on its lower face and opening towards the shaft. The reactor allows a series of reactions to be carried out continuously and simultaneously between prods. which are in different phases, and allows a prolong contact time between the reacting prods. in a small space. Reactor or is used e.g. in treating dust in gases from plants producing zinc and lead.
