Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for material separation by means of countercurrent washing according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for material separation by means of countercurrent washing according to the preamble of claim 15.
- a device of the generic type has a container with a first end region, on which a first inlet opening for the entry of a substance mixture and a first outlet opening for the outlet of a substance component of the substance mixture and a washing fluid to be separated is provided, a second end region axially opposite the first end region, on which a second inlet opening for the entry of the washing fluid and a second outlet opening for the outlet of a further substance component of the substance mixture and the washing fluid is provided, and a displacement area which is provided between the first end area and the second end area, the displacement area being in the second end area with a transition cross section.
- a substance mixture with at least one substance component to be separated and with a further substance component is introduced into a container at a first end region and the washing fluid is countercurrent to the substance mixture at a second end region, which is opposite the first end region with respect to a direction of gravity introduced into the container.
- the washing fluid displaces the at least one substance component to be separated in a displacement region of the container at least partially from the substance mixture and the displaced substance component is removed from the container at the first end region and the washing fluid together with the at least one further substance component at the second end region.
- Such devices and methods are used, for example, to replace a liquid component of a suspension with another liquid component.
- a prerequisite for carrying out the known method is that a desired stable flow behavior is established within the exchange column.
- the setting of such a stable flow behavior is extremely problematic and hardly achievable, since flow channels are very easily formed in the container and, moreover, the qualitative and quantitative composition of the individual starting materials often have larger fluctuations.
- the intensive mixing of the substance and the washing fluid desired in the generic state of the art counteracts an efficient displacement of a substance component from the substance mixture.
- a generic device and a generic method are described in EP 0 719 576 A1.
- a stirring device in a lower region of the container.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device and a method which are particularly versatile and with which a simple and at the same time particularly efficient separation of two different material components is made possible.
- the device should also be as simple and inexpensive as possible.
- a device of the type specified above is further developed according to the invention in that an entry device is arranged in the area of the transition cross section for a flat introduction of a washing fluid, which is conductively connected to the second inlet opening, and that at least one movement element is provided for the targeted introduction of kinetic energy into the displacement area is.
- a basic idea of the invention is that a flow behavior within the container that is favorable for material separation can be achieved by introducing the washing fluid over a large area.
- the flow behavior of the mixture of substances and washing fluid in the displacement area can be specifically influenced in a structurally simple manner and the formation of flow channels can be effectively suppressed.
- the entry device has an outlet area which faces the transition cross section and the outlet surface is designed for a uniform introduction of the washing fluid over the entire transition cross section into the displacement area.
- the movement element is preferably designed as a crossbar stirrer.
- a cross bar stirrer has a plurality of cross-shaped stirring elements arranged perpendicular to the shaft.
- the container is preferably rotationally symmetrical.
- the container can then be manufactured in a simple manner from a tube, in particular a metal tube.
- the crossbar stirrer can be arranged axially in the container and can be driven in rotation by a drive device.
- the drive device is arranged on the first end region of the container, in particular on the end face.
- the drive can also be positioned elsewhere.
- the areal introduction of the washing fluid into the displacement area of the container can be realized particularly well if the washing fluid is conducted as swirl-free as possible to the outlet area of the entry device. This can be achieved, for example, by arranging the second inlet opening on the end face at the second end region of the container.
- a radially widened region is provided at the second end region of the container, in which region the entry device is accommodated.
- the radially widened area favors a flow that is as free of eddies as possible and, moreover, allows the solid particles to be discharged well around the feed device.
- a further radially expanded region can be provided at the first end region of the container.
- a further radially widened region in particular below the first outlet opening, the flow in the first end region of the container can be slowed down, so that the sedimentation of solid constituents is improved and an escape of solid constituents from the first outlet opening can be prevented.
- Another preferred embodiment is one in which the outlet area of the entry device is designed with a large number of small openings for the uniform introduction of the washing fluid into the displacement area. In this way, a substantially uniform flow density of the washing fluid can be achieved.
- the exit area of the entry device can be formed, for example, from a porous material, in particular as a porous membrane, as a porous plate or as a frit made of glass or ceramic.
- an average pore size of the porous material is 0.1 ⁇ m to 1 mm, in particular 10 to 50 ⁇ m.
- the device according to the invention is preferably arranged such that the first end region of the container is arranged at the top in relation to a direction of gravity and the second end region of the container is at the bottom.
- heavy solid particles which are suspended in a first liquid can be separated from this liquid by means of the lighter washing fluid and removed at the second outlet opening.
- such solid particles can be polymer flakes which are separated from a solvent.
- a reverse arrangement of the device is also possible, i.e. an arrangement in which the first end region of the container is arranged below with respect to a direction of gravity and the second end region of the container is arranged above.
- This structure makes sense if solid particles are to be separated from a liquid that is heavier than the solid.
- An example of this is a process for obtaining drinking water from sea water, in which lighter ice particles are separated from heavier salt water, drinking water being used as the washing fluid.
- the method of the type specified above is further developed according to the invention in that the washing fluid is introduced over a wide area at a transition cross-section with which the displacement area merges into the second end area, and in that kinetic energy is specifically introduced into the displacement area of the container with at least one movement element.
- the washing fluid is preferably introduced uniformly over the entire transition cross section into the displacement area. In this way, the vortex formation can be reduced.
- the movement or stirring element instead of blades or comparable flat elements with which to a high degree Whirls are introduced into the liquid in the container, have narrow tubes or rods directed essentially perpendicular to the shaft.
- the stirring is then carried out essentially as a horizontal or two-dimensional stirring or mixing, with turbulence being largely avoided.
- agitated zones are created next to unaffected areas (cf. FIG. 3). A displacement wash takes place in the unstirred areas, while the formation of flow channels is suppressed by the stirred zones.
- a cross-bar stirrer is used as the movement element, which is driven at a rotation speed of 0.1 rpm to 100 rpm, in particular with 0.5 rpm to 10 rpm.
- the substance mixture is preferably introduced into the container through the first inlet opening and then a volume flow of the washing fluid is specifically set. Solid particles that may not yet be sufficiently separated from a liquid to be separated can then be fed to the device again through the first inlet opening.
- the device according to the invention can be used to carry out the method according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of the device according to the invention and Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of a further embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of the targeted introduction of kinetic energy in the displacement area
- FIG. 1 shows a device 100 according to the invention, the core component of which is a container 10.
- a first inlet opening 14 is provided at a first end region 12 of the container 10.
- a second inlet opening 26 is provided at a second end region 24, and a second outlet opening 30 is provided following a radially widened region 32 and a conically tapering region 44.
- a first outlet opening 18 is located at the first end region 12 following a further radially expanded region 46.
- the container 10 essentially has a rotationally symmetrical shape. Between the first end region 12 and the second end region 24 there is a displacement region 36, in which a shaft 56 of a crossbar stirrer 40 is arranged axially. A plurality of crossbars 58 are fastened to the shaft 56. For the rotating drive of the shaft 56, a drive device 42 is arranged at an end face on the first end region 12 of the container 10. The displacement area 36 merges into the second end area 24 with a transition cross section 25.
- the second inlet opening 26 is conductively connected to an entry device 34 which has an outlet region 48.
- the exit area 48 faces the transition cross section 25 according to the invention and is designed for a flat introduction of the washing fluid 22 into the displacement area 36.
- the exit region 48 is provided with a multiplicity of small openings 50 and is preferably designed as a glass frit with an average pore size between 10 and 50 ⁇ m.
- the device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is oriented such that the first end region 12 is arranged at the top with respect to a direction of gravity 54 and the second end region 24 at the bottom.
- Such an alignment enables the separation of a mixture of substances 16 consisting of a lighter liquid substance component 20 and heavier solid particles 28, for example polymer flakes.
- the mixture of substances 16 is introduced into the first inlet opening 14.
- the washing fluid 22 is introduced into the second inlet opening 26. In principle, this can be done both before and after the feed of the mixture 16, but preferably takes place after the introduction of the mixture 16.
- the container 10 then fills first with the mixture of the liquid component 20 to be separated and the solid particles 28 that sink down due to gravity, ie sediment.
- the washing fluid 22 is then introduced into the second inlet opening 26 and flows upward in countercurrent to the mixture of substances 16 in the container 10.
- the volume supply of the washing fluid and / or the substance mixture 16 is then specifically adjusted until good substance separation results are achieved in a stationary state.
- a mixture of the liquid substance component 20 and the washing fluid 22 then emerges at the first outlet opening 18.
- the desired solid particles 28 freed from the liquid substance component 20 can be removed from the container 10 at the second outlet opening 30.
- FIG. 2 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a device 200 according to the invention.
- the structure of the device 200 from FIG. 2 essentially corresponds to that of the device 100 from FIG. 1. Corresponding parts are therefore identified by the same reference numerals and only the differences are described below.
- the device 200 from FIG. 2 has a cross bar stirrer 40 with a thickened region 57 of a shaft 56. This thickened region 57 extends essentially over the entire displacement region 36 of the container 10.
- the schematically shown stirring elements 58 run horizontally, that is to say perpendicular to the shaft 56.
- a diameter 59 of the shaft 56 in the thickened region 57 is approximately half of an inner diameter 60 of the container 10.
- the thickened region 57 of the shaft 56 has a conically tapering end region 62, which swirls counteract the liquids and promote a laminar flow.
- the countercurrent washing takes place in the container 10 in a substantially laminar flow, which is stirred or mixed horizontally or two-dimensionally by slow rotation of the crossbar stirrer 40.
- excellent washing and separation results of significantly better than 90% can be achieved.
