摘要:
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.
摘要:
The invention comprises an installation (1) for crystallising a liquid from a solution, for example for freeze-concentrating effluent, having a nucleation zone (2), a ripening zone (3) and a separator (4). According to the invention the nucleation zone (2) is constructed as a vacuum crystalliser, such that the installation is of relatively simple and inexpensive construction, can easily be scaled up and is suitable for concentrating liquids containing undissolved particles, such as, for example, precipitated salts. The separator (4) preferably comprises a washing column.

The invention relates to a crystallization apparatus and to a method for crystallizing a liquid from a solution, a mixture of liquids or a suspension. The apparatus comprises a growth zone (4) in a vertically positioned tank (2), which growth zone is positioned below a nucleation zone (5). Via a delivery line (13) the seed crystals are fed from the nucleation zone to the bottom end of the growth zone. In the growth zone the ice slurry slowly moves in a vertical direction at such a low velocity that heavier particles are able to precipitate and to be discharged at the bottom end. Preferentially, the nucleation zone comprises a vacuum apparatus for effecting a reduction in pressure in the nucleation zone to between 10 -4 and 7·10 -3 bar. Using the apparatus according to the present invention it is possible for waste water and effluent to be concentrated in a simple manner, clogging of, for example, filters owing to the settling of solid particles being prevented.
