Hydraulic reactor and classifier for solid particles with ultrasonic application

A hydraulic reactor and classifier, with ultrasonic application for a continuous process of separating and recovering a slurry of materials comprising coarse and fine particles or for the production of chemical compounds by feeding said slurry into said reactor, comprising a hollow body filled with a fluid medium of water or leaching solution comprising two main sections:

• a) an upper part comprising a rectangular container, a loading compartment, a lamella package, at least one ultrasound transducer package and a peripheral weir;
• b) a lower part comprising an inverted semi-pyramidal container having a square base, the square base attached to the upper part, at least one ultrasound transducer package at different locations within the reactor to distribute an ultrasound effect all over said slurry of materials fed through the reactor;
• and a nozzle for delivering a liquid or a gas, said liquid miscible in said fluid medium.
