Abstract
A system both for the treatment of solid particles in a liquid and also for the treatment of a liquid by solid particles. The system includes a first scrolled barrel containing a liquid bath in which the treatment takes place, a second scrolled barrel attached to and communicating with the first barrel, the second barrel being constructed to prevent the free flow of liquid out of the bottom of the bath while at the same time allowing for the free passage of solid particles through the bottom of the bath, and a shaft for rotating the barrels. Both the first and second barrels are designed so as to insure a substantially uniform liquid level in the bath.
Claims22
A system for a solid particles--liquid treatment, said system comprised of
- (a) a first longitudinal scrolled barrel containing a liquid bath wherein the treatment takes places;
- (b) a second scrolled barrel attached to and communicating with the first barrel, said second barrel being provided with a means for preventing the freeflow of medium from out of the bottom of the bath while at the same time allowing for the free passage of solid particles through the bottom of the bath;
- (c) a means for insuring a substantially uniform liquid level in the bath, and
- (d) a means for rotating the two barrels.
A system for a solid particles--liquid treatment, said system comprising:
- (a) at least one scrolled barrel having scrolls and which is comprised of at least two parts, a first pan containing a liquid wherein the treatment takes place and a second part provided with a means for preventing the freeflow of liquid from out of a bottom of the bath while at the same time allowing for the free passage of solid particles through the bottom of the bath;
- (b) means for insuring a substantially uniform liquid level in the bath;
- and
- (c) means for rotating the barrel,
- the barrel being further provided with an element linking parts of said scrolls in said second part so as to define a passage between the barrel and the element, whereby the scrolls and the element prevent the liquid from flowing freely through the passage.
A system for a solid particles--liquid treatment, said system comprising:
- (a) a scrolled barrel having scrolls, and which is comprised of three parts, (1) a central part containing a liquid bath wherein the treatment takes place, (2) a first end part for feeding solid particles into the bath and which is provided with a means for preventing the freeflow of liquid from out of a bottom of the bath while at the same time allowing for the free passage of solid particles through the bottom into the bath, and (3) a second end part for removing solid particles from out of the bottom of the bath, and which is provided with means for preventing the freeflow of liquid from out of the bottom of the bath while at the same time allowing for the free passage of solid particles through the bottom of the bath, said means of the second end part being an element linking parts of its scrolls so as to define a passage between the barrel and the element, whereby the scrolls and the element prevent the liquid from flowing freely through the passage;
- (b) means for insuring a substantially uniform liquid level in the bath;
- and
- (c) means for rotating the barrel.
A system for a solid particles--liquid treatment, said system comprising:
- (a) a first longitudinal scrolled barrel containing a liquid bath in which separation takes places;
- (b) a second scrolled barrel, attached to and communicating with said first barrel, said second barrel being provided with means for preventing freeflow of medium from out of the bottom of the bath while at the same time allowing for free passage of solid particles through a bottom of the bath;
- (c) means for insuring a substantially uniform liquid level in the bath;
- and
- (d) means for rotating the two barrels,
- wherein said second barrel is provided with an element linking at least a pan of its scrolls in such a way to prevent the liquid from flowing freely through the linked part of said scrolls;
- and
- wherein said second barrel has an inner diameter which is greater than that of said first barrel.
