Estimating the term…
A process for the granulation of precipitation products, formed from the reaction of ammonium compounds with alkaline-earth compounds, by introducing into the bottom of a reaction chamber an ammonium and alkaline-earth compound such that the alkaline-earth compound in aqueous solution is immediately and intimately mixed with the ammonium compound to form alkaline-earth compound precipitation products in the form of hard granules which are difficultly soluble in water. The alkaline-earth precipitation products are easily withdrawn from the bottom of the reaction chamber without forming a lime sludge which is difficult to remove.
A process for the granulation of precipitation products formed from the reaction of ammonium compounds with alkaline-earth compounds, which comprises introducing into a liquid-filled reaction chamber above the bottom thereof a first aqueous stream containing the said ammonium compounds and introducing a second aqueous stream containing the said alkaline-earth compounds such that the said alkaline-earth compounds are immediately and intimately mixed with the said ammonium compounds to effect a liquid phase reaction and form alkaline-earth compound precipitation products in the form of granules which are difficultly soluble in water, withdrawing the said granules from the bottom of the said reaction chamber and separately recovering from said reaction chamber a third aqueous stream containing an essentially particle-free aqueous solution of free ammonia and a fourth aqueous stream containing an aqueous solution of free ammonia and suspended particles of said precipitation products.
