Abstract

In accordance with one embodiment, a processing device includes a heated internal wall and a rotating rod positioned within an interior space formed by the heated internal wall. The rotating rod may be hollow and act as an internal heat exchanger. The processing device also includes a plurality of baffles spaced apart from one another along the rotating rod and extending away from the rotating rod towards the heated internal wall. The processing device also includes at least one wiper or roller coupled to an edge of at least one of the plurality of baffles or porous, packed basket, coupled to the rotating rod and that contacts the heated internal wall while rotating together with the rotating rod. In another embodiment, a processing device may be used to adsorb reactive gases into a liquid phase while heat is exchanged.

Dependent claims

A processing device, comprising:

an internal wall of a jacket;
a rotating rod positioned within an interior space formed by the internal wall;
a plurality of baffles spaced apart from one another along the rotating rod and extending away from the rotating rod towards the internal wall, wherein the plurality of baffles are configured to rotate with the rotating rod relative to the internal wall;
and
at least one wiper coupled to an edge of at least one of the plurality of baffles or coupled to the rotating rod, wherein the at least one wiper is configured to contact the internal wall, and wherein the at least one wiper is configured to rotate with the rotating rod, wherein rotating the rotating rod causes the at least one wiper to contact a film of liquid on the internal wall such that rotation of the at least one wiper against the internal wall causes droplets of the liquid to move towards a center of the interior space.
