Reactive flow static mixer with crossflow obstruction

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a mixing apparatus. Particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a mixing apparatus for mixing fluid components such as phosgene and amine during a highly reactive chemical reaction. One embodiment provides a mixing conduit (100) comprising a cylindrical sidewall (101, 201) defining an inner volume, wherein one or more jets are formed through the cylindrical sidewalls and connect to the inner volume and one or more flow obstructions (103, 203) disposed in the inner volume, wherein each flow obstruction is positioned upstream from an associated aperture (102, 202). More particularly, the prlurality of flow obstructions comprises a plurality of spokes (103, 203) inserted into the inner volume along the circumference of the cylindrical sidewall (101, 201), the plurality of spokes being coupled to a torpedo (212) disposed along a central axis (206) of the mixing conduit.
