Abstract
A process for separation of a slurry by radially injecting a stream of a nanogas solution at a shear-focus volume within a pipe; passing an aqueous slurry through the pipe along a direction of flow and through the shear-focus volume; and shearing and/or admixing the slurry with the nanogas solution within the shear-focus volume.
Claims11
A process comprising:
- providing a pipe having a direction of flow from an upstream location to downstream location;
- carrying a slurry within the pipe in the direction of flow;
- the pipe carrying a plurality of spray nozzles each having an outlet orifice in fluid communication with the slurry in the pipe;
- each outlet orifice having a center line at an angle selected from about 15° to about 85° or from about −15° to about −85° to the direction of flow;
- injecting a nanogas solution into the pipe via the spray nozzles;
- and
- shearing and/or admixing the slurry with the nanogas solution thereby forming an admixture.
