Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for atomizing a reaction mixture, said device enabling the reaction mixture to be atomized in a reactor with the aid of at least a first gas and an atomizing nozzle. This device further comprises a supply of a second hot gas at the top of the atomizing device, serving to dry the atomized mixture, a supply of a third gas and means for distributing this third gas comprising an annular space of adjustable width and adapted to distribute in the reactor said third gas in the form of a ring along the inner wall of the reactor, so as to avoid any contact between the reaction mixture and said wall. The invention is applicable to the atomization of a reaction mixture.
Claims10
A device for atomizing a reaction mixture said device being a reactor having an inner wall symmetrical around an axis of revolution and including means for enabling said mixture to be atomized in said reactor with the aid of at least a first gas acting in conjunction with an atomizing nozzle, and comprising a supply of a second hot gas introduced at the top of the atomizing device, above said nozzle, serving to dry the atomized mixture said first and second gases being directed generally downwardly toward the bottom of said reactor,
- further comprising a supply of a third gas and means for introducing and distributing this third gas into said reactor at a point downstream of said nozzle in the direction of flow of said first and second gases comprising an annular passage of adjustable width in the form of a ring along the inner wall of the reactor for distributing said third gas in the reactor so that the flow of said third gas prevents any contact between the atomized mixture and said wall at said point and downstream therefrom.
