Gassing Reactor and Process for Producing a Gas-Liquid Mixture

Abstract

A gassing reactor is provided that comprises a dispersion stage with a rotor and a stator. The rotor and the stator respectively exhibit at least one shear surface that exhibits at least one axial component in relation to the axis of rotation of the dispersion stage. It is further provided that the gassing reactor exhibits at least one gas feed line that opens into at least one gas outlet opening into a dispersion gap of the dispersion stage formed between the rotor and the stator, delimited by the shear surfaces. In this way, the gas introduction into the liquid can be done within a range in which the maximum shear forces and highly-turbulent shear fields occurs when the gassing reactor is operating and rotor is rotating. This promotes a reliable as a fine-beaded as possible dissipation of the gas into the liquid.
