Abstract
A suspension consisting of a carrier fluid and particles suspended in the carrier fluid is mixed by a nozzle generating a suspension jet, a feeding device for introducing powder into the suspension jet, a mixing chamber designed to mix the particles with the powder such that the powder adheres to the particles, and a diffuser stabilizing the suspension such that the particles in the suspension form agglomerates due to the powder.

1-8. (canceled)
A mixing device for mixing agglomerating powder into a suspension formed by a carrier fluid and particles suspended therein, comprising:
- a nozzle creating a suspension jet;
- a feed device introducing the agglomerating powder into the suspension stream;
- a mixing chamber, configured to mix the particles with the agglomerating powder so that the agglomerating powder adheres to the particles, having an aperture and/or a deflection profile in an area in which the cross-section narrows in the direction of flow, causing a swirling of the suspension jet with the agglomerating powder;
- and
- a diffuser stabilizing the suspension such that the particles to which the agglomerating powder attaches form agglomerates in the suspension.
