CASE NO: 512
| MATERIAL: |
Salt-like acid crystal (0.5% minus 10 mesh, 8.5% 10-100 mesh, 15% minus 100 mesh) reacted with caustic soda and elastomers. Product is 1,000 cps and 15% by weight solids. |
|
PROBLEM: |
Disperse and prevent re-agglomerated of acid crystals during chemical reaction. |
|
RESULT: |
Prevented reagglomeration. Kept acid crystals dispersed. Recirculated at 50-60 gpm. |
|
AB MIXER: |
Model 3 x 1.5, toothed impeller/liner, 7.5 HP, 3600 RPM, 1/16" grid. Recirculating to a 2,000 gallon reactor. Centrifugal pump on discharge side of Dicon. |
| BENEFITS |
Reaction yield increased because reagglomeration eliminated. |
