INTRODUCTION OF CROSSFLOW DROP TRAPS FOR INTENSIFYING MASS TRANSFER APPARATUS OPERATION

摘要

This paper presents an analysis of the counterflow and cross/low drop traps (demisters) installed in the feedstock injection area of pyrogas sodaflning column. It is shown that the "square" and "two-lane" type of two-tier irrigated crossflow drop traps that are installed in the feed areas of vacuum columns and have separating-rectifying properties are operationally efficient. Crossflow drop traps significantly intensify mass transfer separation process owing to improved hydrodynamic conditions of primary separation of two-phase flows in the feedstock injection area.
