VAPOR/LIQUID CONTACTING CYCLONE WITH DEVICES TO PREVENT BACKMIXING

摘要

This invention is directed to a cyclonic vapor/liquid contacting device. Liquid feed (1) is introduced near the floor of the cyclone. Vapor (2) enters through sieve holes in the bottom of the cyclonic device. Near the floor are angled tabs or vanes that impart a spin to the vapor rising up through the floor. The tabs or vanes mix the liquid and vapor. The liquid is then thrown toward the cyclone wall (3) where it exits through slots (5) in the wall (3).
