摘要 |
This invention relates to a mixing vessel employed in the mixing and agitation of the slurry in the mineral and chemical processing. The mixing vessel of the present invention comprises a cylindrical vessel and one or more propellers rotatably disposed within said cylindrical vessel adjacent to the cylindrical wall wherein the axis of the rotation of said one or more propellers is substantially perpendicular to the central axis of said cylindrical vessel; whereby, the rotation of said one or more propellers generates the thrust substantially tangential to the cylindrical wall of said cylindrical vessel and, thus, creates a rotating motion of the slurry contained in said cylindrical vessel about the central axis of said cylindrical vessel for the mixing and agitation of the slurry. Said rotational mixing vessel provides an advantage in saving the energy consumption required by the mixing vessel as well as the power consumption by the aerating vessel.
