Abstract
A first solution is mixed and diluted with diluting liquid to make a first dilute solution, a second solution is mixed and diluted with diluting liquid to make a second dilute solution, and the first dilute solution and second dilute solution, both diluted with diluting liquid, are mixed in a sealed tank.
Claims7
An apparatus for mixing a plurality of solutions that mixes and dilutes the plurality of solutions with diluting liquid, the apparatus comprising:
- a first diluter for mixing a first solution with diluting liquid to prepare a first dilute solution;
- a second diluter for mixing a second solution with diluting liquid to prepare a second dilute solution;
- and
- a sealed tank for mixing the first dilute solution discharged from the first diluter with the second dilute solution discharged from the second diluter,
- wherein the sealed tank is connected with a first dilute solution inlet duct and a second dilute solution inlet duct in tangential directions so that the first dilute solution from the first dilute solution duct and the second dilute solution from the second dilute solution duct flow in the same circular stream direction in the sealed tank,
- wherein the sealed tank is a cyclone mixing tank, and
- wherein the cyclone mixing tank is a circular cylinder extending in a vertical direction, with a mixed solution discharge duct disposed at a center of the circular cylinder, and
- wherein an inlet of the mixed solution discharge duct is disposed at a location distanced from a top of the cyclone mixing tank so that flow of the mixed solution is discharged upwardly therethrough.

A method for mixing a plurality of solutions that mixes and dilutes the plurality of solutions with diluting liquid, the method comprising:
- mixing a first solution with diluting liquid in a first diluter to prepare a first dilute solution while mixing a second solution with diluting liquid in a second diluter to prepare a second dilute solution;
- and
- introducing the first dilute solution and the second dilute solution into a sealed tank to mix the first solution and second solution, the sealed tank being connected with a first dilute solution inlet duct and a second dilute solution inlet duct in tangential directions so that the first dilute solution from the first dilute solution duct and the second dilute solution from the second dilute solution duct flow in the same circular stream direction in the sealed tank,
- wherein the sealed tank is a cyclone mixing tank, and
- wherein the cyclone mixing tank is a circular cylinder extending in a vertical direction, with a mixed solution discharge duct disposed at a center of the circular cylinder, and
- wherein an inlet of the mixed solution discharge duct is disposed at a location distanced from a top of the cyclone mixing tank so that the flow of the mixed solution is discharged upwardly therethrough.
