Abstract
The present disclosure relates to screened cages to contain fibrous and other bulky materials during liquid-solid processing that can allow optimized flow of the materials within the screened cages for mass transfer, heat transfer and prevent packing of the material that would obstruct liquid flow. In addition, the screened cages enable safer handling in high temperature or corrosive environments.
Claims23
A method of processing fibrous solids in liquid comprising the steps of:
- adding liquid to a processing tank;
- optionally adding one or more reagents to the processing tank;
- providing at least one screened cage containing fibrous solids;
- adding the at least one screened cage to the processing tank, wherein the liquid freely flows through the at least one screened cage;
- agitating the liquid in the processing tank such that the liquid uniformly flows through the at least one screened cage;
- wherein the fibrous solids rotate freely within the at least one screened cage.
