Experimental and theoretical study of the flocculants mixing in water
Saint Petersburg State Institute of Technology, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The article discusses the process of high molecular weight flocculant particles dissolving in water during mechanical stirring. A procedure of mixer selection taking into account mixer geometry based on the Prandtl’s semi-empirical turbulence model was developed and described. It was found that the choice of the optimal rotation speed is related with the turbulent frictional stress generated by the impeller of the mixer. The results of experimental studies on the preparation of concentrated solutions of high molecular weight cationic flocculant MagnaflokМ 155 using various impeller types are shown. The efficiency of a conical mixer has been confirmed, which makes it possible prepare a flocculant solution 1.3 times faster due to the possibility of mixing at higher rotational speeds with lower power consumption
