摘要:
The invention relates to an apparatus for the purification of a substance from a solution, a suspension or a mixture of liquids by crystallization, preferably in a continuous manner. The apparatus comprises a first crystallizer (1c) comprising an input (1) for receiving a liquid comprising the substance and an output (4) for discharging a slurry of liquid and crystals. The apparatus comprises also a first separator (1s) connected to the output 4 of the first crystallizer (1c) having a product output (2), and being with a residue output (5) connected to an input of a second crystallizer (2c), and a second separator (2s) being with an input connected to an output (6) of the second crystallizer (2c), a crystal output (7) of the second separator (2s) being connected to an input of the first crystallizer (1c).

The present invention relates to a method and installation for the crystallisation of a liquid from a solution, a suspension or a mixture of liquids using a crystalliser which, for example, is provided on its wall with a heat exchanger and comprises a single chamber for both nucleation and growth. Depleted mother liquor is withdrawn from the crystallisation vessel via a filter located in the crystalliser, so that the crystal content in the vessel can be accurately adjusted for the purpose of optimum separation of the crystals, preferably using a packed-bed wash column. The crystalliser preferably contains a stirrer with the filter on the stirrer shaft. The filter rotates past a scraper, which is arranged in a fixed position, as a result of which the filter cake can be reintroduced into the suspension without damage to the crystals.

The invention relates to an installation for separating and purifying solids from a suspension and/or for leaching out solid particles, having a cylinder (22) having a piston (23) movable therein. A sealing part (24) of the piston is in contact with the interior wall of the cylinder. A filter (27) is positioned some distance away from the sealing part of the piston. A discharge chamber (29) is located between the filter and the sealing part of the piston. A pump chamber (30) is formed below the sealing part of the piston and a washing column (28) chamber containing a packed bed of solid particles is formed above the filter. During a downward pump stroke of the piston, suspension is forced, via at least one connecting channel (26) between the pump chamber and the washing column chamber, to the washing column chamber. During a compression stroke, liquid is brought via the filter to the discharge chamber and discharged via a discharge line (35). Solid particles, such as crystals, remain behind on the filter and are compressed against the packed bed. The connecting channel can be located inside the cylinder. In that case the piston has a conical jacket with a streamlined non-return valve (40,Figs.2,3). The connecting channel between pump chamber and washing column chamber can also be located outside the cylinder (51,Fig.5A). The installation according to the invention has relatively simple seals and feed and discharge lines fixed to the cylinder in a stationary position. The installation can also be scaled up easily.

The invention relates to a method for the purification or recovery of orthophosphoric acid rich streams by suspension-based melt crystallization. The orthophosphoric acid is crystallized as the hemi-hydrate form and subsequent separation of such crystals in a wash-column produce a high purity acid/water solution that has been depleted of most of the metals and impurities other than water, thereby separating an orthophosphoric acid rich feed liquor into an ultra-pure orthophosphoric acid hemi-hydrate and a mother liquor containing almost all impurities originally present in the feed. The orthophosphoric acid rich feed liquor typically contains no more than 15wt% water and 1wt% other impurities. Individual metal ion composition in the purified orthophosphoric acid product is in the range of 100 to1000 ppb (parts per billion = 1/1000 ppm) of each metal ion. The metal ion composition of the resulting purified product is thus typically below the detection limit of typical analysis equipment.
摘要:
A purification stage crystallizer (1c) receives a liquid comprising the substance, and discharges a slurry of liquid and crystals of the substance. A separator receives the slurry, and outputs a residue to a recovery stage crystallizer (2c) and pure crystals of the substance. A separator receives a slurry of crystals and liquid residue from the crystallizer (2c) and outputs crystal of the substance to crystallizer (1c). An independent claim is also included for a method for purification of a substance.

The invention is directed to an apparatus for separating solids from a suspension comprising:
a hollow cylindrical column having a central axis therethrough, said column having an interior with a cross-section, perpendicular to said axis, that is constant along said axis, and that extends from a first end to a second end of the said column one central tube axially disposed in said column and extending from said one end toward said opposite end, said central tube having an outer wall of constant diameter, said cylindrical column and said central tube defining an annular zone between them, extending axially from said first end of the column to at least near said second end of the column; at least one filter in said outer wall of the said central tube, forming the only direct communication between the said annular zone and the interior of the tube and at least one filter in the outer wall of said hollow cylindrical column; means for supplying a suspension to said first end of the column; means for removing suspension at said second end of the column; said interior defining a concentration zone means communicating with the interior of said central tube for removing liquid passed through said filter in said outer wall of the said central tube and means for removing liquid passed through filter in the outer wall of said hollow cylindrical column; means acting on the liquid of said suspension for urging said liquid through said annular zone towards said filters.
