ANNUAL REVIEW

Mixing Continued emphasis on analysis of basic mixing mechanisms highlights this yearJsprogress in mixing the0l.y and technology

year 1965 showed continued probing into fluid Thedynamics in mixing systems. While previous emphasis centered on retention time and interstage mixing in single-phase fluids and the continuous phase of two-phase systems, consideration of the residence time, dispersion, and coalescence of drops or bubbles in the dispersed phase has recently attracted considerable analytical attention. There are still discussion and speculation about the practical differences between various definitions of ultimate blending of solid-solid and liquidliquid blending. The fluid in a mixing vessel has a wide range of fluid shear rates and scales of fluid shear effects. Much work has been devoted toward analyzing these effects, as well as turbulent effects, in determining the application to various mixing phenomena. I n the waste aeration field, surface aerators have excited considerable interest. Papers presenting results from actual installations as well as techniques and problems in measuring the performance of these aerators are included in this review. General

A practical discussion of mixing equipment and aids to selecting mixers was published (3A). A review listing 183 articles published during 1963 and 1964 appeared last year (4A)

Other articles published in 1965 which contained related material on mixing included reviews of extraction (2A),mass transfer ( I A ) , and fluid dynamics (5A). Impeller Flow and Fluid Dynamics

The fluid mechanics of the flow in a mixing vessel involves the average velocities at various points in the tank. The circulation from the impeller can be obtained by defining the discharge area. I n the immediate discharge zone from the impeller, the measurement of all the fluid mechanics parameters would include a three-dimensional study with probes and meters capable of reading instantaneous velocities on various scales. Several studies using hot wire and vane-type velocity meters presented data on average and instantaneous velocities on various agitation scales. Bowers ( 7B) studied average velocities, magnitudes, and direction and then used a hot wire velocity meter to get quantities needed for analyzing turbulence. Shear rates based on average and instantaneous velocities were obtained with a hot wire velocity meter and used in scale-up (7B). When an impeller is raised while rotating, a metastable flow condition can exist. Also, different conditions can result from dropping the liquid down to a specified liquid level as compared to filling a tank to the same specified liquid level (2B). There are several practical methods of selecting agitation horsepower requirements of viscous materials (3B). The flow of non-Newtonian liquids around a rotating cone or disk involves the flow behavior index (6B). Rushton (9B) showed how samples withdrawn from mixing vessels can differ considerably from the overall average composition in the tank for a heterogeneous system. A flow-through type analyzer continuously withdraws and returns fluid (4B). A method of relating pipeline shear rates and mixer shear rates is a useful technique for characterizing non-Newtonian fluids (8B).

Gutoff (5B) determined that the interstage mixing in an Oldshue-Rushton column with a single fluid flowing through the unit was similar to an R D C column. A relationship between the eddy diffusivity model and the absolute value of interstage flow was given. Impeller Power Consumption

The power consumption of a vertically mounted impeller is a function of its angular relationship to the baffles in the tank (2C). Definitions of mixing intensity or mixing efficiency concerned the power consumption, the circulating capacity, and the volume of the tank (3C). The number of helical heat transfer coils affects the power consumption of a mixer ( I C ) . An article classified later also contains information on power consumption of helical screw agitators ( 7 0 ) . Blending

Blending of miscible fluids is one of the most common process requirements but is subject to many different interpretations depending upon the analytical method used to measure blend time. The change in color in a mixing vessel after addition of excess reagent in an acidbase titration reaction is one method ( 2 0 ) . A discussion developed in the literature concerning measurements of a physical property of an injected miscible fluid compared with other methods of observing blending (30). A comparison of turbines and helical screw agitators for blending viscous materials shows the areas where each has advantages (ID). A discussion of various mixer models for blending covered the effect of blending performance on other process requirements (40) I

Solid-liquid Mixing

A survey analyzed solids dispersion in the lacquer and paint industry with special emphasis on high speed mixing mills (5E). As more knowledge on the scale-up of fluid shear forces and turbulence becomes available, attempts are VOL. 5 8

being made to relate the effect of particle size to the scale and decay of these various effects. Middleman (77E) was able to apply the Kolmogoroff theory with good results to ion exchange resin spheres. The dissolving of metals was suggested for determining mass transfer coefficients (TOE). A study of dissolving solid particles included many geometric and particle variables (3-a. Transfer of an organic dye from an aqueous solution to thin films of SiO2-gel and A1203 on the surface of a rotating disk is a unique experimental method (72E). Dissolving salt in a screw-conveyor apparatus involved several mixing variables ( 9 E ) . Crystallization processes were studied in a salting-out crystallizer (73E). A novel rotating, partially filled ampoule was used for the control of melt crystallization ( 8 E ) . Several industrial processes involved flotation ( IE), cornstarch conversion (ZE), fluid hydrogen slush ( 4 E ) , phosphate rock (6E), and chlorination of paper stock ( 7 E ) . The general field of liquid-solid extraction was covered by Rickles in a review (76E). A rotating set of closely spaced disks mounted vertically on a horizontal shaft was used to extract uranium from a slurry (74E). The size-distribution dynamics in a salting-out crystallizer tested a proposed theoretical model and correlated this with production rate upsets (75E). Liquid-liquid Mixing

A full-scale study using pulsed radioactive tracers in a propeller-draft tube system which was mixing gasoline and water demonstrated the difference in performance between pumping up or down the draft tube (20F). The range of the volume fraction within which either of two immiscible liquids in a stirred tank may be continuous (ambivalent range) is primarily a function of the viscosity ratio (17F). LYithin these ranges the phase which will be continuous depends primarily upon the starting procedure. When a reaction occurs between two immiscible liquids, one of which is dispersed in the second continuous liquid, the mechanism of the dispersion, coalescence, and segregation of the dispersed phase is important in analyzing performance. Rietema ( 76F) reviewed the many factors involved in this calculation. A MonteCarlo mathematical treatment is a good mathematical tool for analyzing various dispersed phase conditions (79F). A simple apparatus with stirring in both phases was convenient for measuring mass transfer and chemical reaction between liquid phases (78F). A similar type of experiment in the Lewis cell provided mass transfer data (3F). The dispersion of one liquid into another in a fluidized droplet reactor was performed in an 8-inch and a 40-inch reactor. However, the velocity of the dispersed phase made it difficult to maintain a settled interface and scaleup to a large size was not practical (75F). Mixer settlers were used considerably in extraction work and several papers covered specific aspects (ZF, 6F, I2F- 7 4F). 52

A batch extraction can be simulated in equipment which includes a mixer, distillation unit, and extraction column (9F). Varying the dimensions of each stage in a rotating disk contactor for nonideal extractions was proposed (47). A centrifugal contactor used air pressure to control the process of the dispersion (5F). Industrial processes included alkylation (8F,IOF) and caprolactam extraction ( I I F ) . Under certain conditions the dispersed phase can form a separating layer a t the upper and lower section of a continuously flowing liquid stream into a vessel and performance of a vessel operating like this was described mathematically and verified experimentally ( I F ) . A paper was miscategorized in last year’s review (7F). Gas-Liquid Mixing

A basic study by Gal-Or and Resnick (7G) of the relative velocities between gas bubbles and liquids in an agitated gas-liquid contactor used a photographic technique. The absorption of a gas in a centrifugal absorber (77G) and in a liquid-seal pump (2G) was discussed in two equipment studies. Fermentation is an important industrial process and aeration in gibberellic acid (4G) and the description of an automatic aeration control system in penicillin were covered (72G). Aeration of waste with surface aerators is a fast-growing technique. Relatively large basins and low volumetric absorption rates make this method particularly applicable. Kalinske (8G) discusses the problem of evaluating and testing the performance of these “localized aerators.” Aerators are employed in several industrial processes, including use in paper mills (3G, 75G), the Chicago River (9G, 73G), and a municipal activated sludge plant (7G). Specific data on a BSK turbine (74G) and a rotary brush aerator (6G)appeared. Flotation is an important process involving gas-liquid contractors (5G, IOG). Solid-Solid Mixing

A general review by Valentin (9H) and a survey in the pharmaceutical field ( 2 H ) give up-to-date background. Discussion still goes on as to the most reasonable mathematical model to describe complete blending. The variable angle in a standard V-mixer used a conventional statistical criterion ( 7 H ) . Some new theories for the mixing processes were used on an industrial project (8H).The Littleford-Lodige mixer was used for dry and wet solids mixing ( 4 H ) . The homogeneity obtained in a continuous ribbon blender was as good as that obtained in a previous study of batch blending (7H).An industrial problem in the mixing of polyethylene and carbon black in a doublecone blender was to study particle-size ratios ( 3 H ) . Two types of gravitation mixers were tested for freeflowing materials ( 5 H ) . Mixing in a continuous ball mixer using a tracer technique was presented (6H).

Gas-Solid Mixing

The use of rotating impellers in gas-solid mixers was described only on various patents issued (71-31) I

Pastes Mixing

The use of double-arm impellers in pastes was presented by Parker (7.J). A paper on dispersion of fillerloaded rubbers in a Banbury mixer described the many variables involved in mixing these kinds of materials (2.J). A satisfactory blend from a production standpoint was achieved, but not the ultimate possible blend. Heat Transfer

Chapman and Holland (ZK, 3K) presented a survey of existing correlations and gave the results of their study on heat transfer in mixing vessels. A study of the local heat and mass transfer coefficient at the wall of a flat-bottomed baffled tank showed the effect of impeller position and other variables on the coefficient at several points in the tank. A j-factor relates heat and mass transfer in these systems (7K). Experimental data on the effect of various mixing variables including coils (7OK), baffles (??IC),and jackets (72K) were published. The effect of mixing on heat transfer between a n evaporating volatile liquid in contact with an immiscible liquid medium was discussed (QK). By using existing heat transfer and power consumption equations, a correlation of the optimum speed of impellers in a reactor was obtained (5K). Heat transfer problems are an important part of the production of alkyd resins in a batch reactor (6K). A three-part series on thin-film agitators reviewed and discussed the entire field (4K, 7K, 8 K ) . Chemical Reaction

The mathematical description of mixing vessels used for reaction involves proposing a model of the flow pattern in the unit and then verifying the performance on an actual reaction. A model based on the impeller as a local micromixer in a recirculating stream was tested on a relatively slow second-order irreversible reaction (5L). The use of a pseudofirst-order reaction rate for the hydrolysis of acetic anhydride in dilute aqueous solutions agreed experimentally with facts obtained by dynamic analysis of small disturbances (4L). The dynamic behavior of a reactor for formaldehyde and NH3 compared experimentally with computer results (ZL). A perfectly mixed photochemical reactor was tested experimentally ( I L ) , and a gas phase reaction was studied

vibrating or reciprocating mechanism. All the papers were concerned with countercurrent flow in liquidliquid systems. A liquid-liquid extractor with vibrating trays was studied in two articles (ZM, 8 M ) . Pulsed, sieve-plate extraction columns were used for many industrial applications, including the extraction of kerosine-water, CCh-water ( 4 M ) , and "0% into (Bu)3P04 in Varsol ( 7M). General discussions of pulsed columns and methods of 9M). pulsing these columns have been presented (5M, The measurement of longitudinal dispersion coefficients was studied by Miyauchi and Oya ( 7 M ) . An air-pulsed mixer-settler ( 6 M ) and a pulsed solidliquid contractor were also presented ( 3 M ) . Fluid Jets for Mixing

The mixing characteristics of jets discharging into cylindrical vessels using NaOH and NaCl as tracers explain the role of the jet from the nozzle and also are related to impeller mixing ( 7 5 N ) . Rapid mixing techniques are extremely important in working with high speed reactions. A series of papers covering many of these techniques appeared (3N, 4N, 6N, 8N, 24N). The ejector mixer can be made to improve stability of reactant ratios under fluctuating supply pressures (74N). Isothermal turbulent flow reactors show the relationship between reaction rate and mixing rate (??AT,23N). A pneumatic mixer in a crystallizer was used in studies on the yield of large crystals (26N). Pressure loss in a Venturi mixer can be described in terms of mixing loss coefficient (22N). Braulick, Fair, and Lerner ( 5 N ) described a sparged contactor whose performance was reported to be equivalent to stirred contactors and bubble-cap trays. Scale-up of a Venturi mixer included energy loss and oxygen transfer characteristics (73N). A new atomizer absorber was described ( 2 1 N ) . The hydrodynamics of aeration chambers are characterized into three different groups (ZON). A dispersion device for air and flotation machines was presented (78N). Commercial equipment included a package gas absorption system ( 7 N ) , a direct contact spiral Aow apparatus (ZN), a bubble scrubber (TON), a chlorinator (76N), and a centrifugal atomizer ( Q N ) . The use of gas jets in gas-phase reactors was presented in four papers ( U N , 77N, 79N, 25N). Longitudinal mixing in a gas-sparged tubular vessel was studied by Argo and Cova ( I N ) .

The temperature control of a chemical reactor included the control of a reactor where the dynamics of the cooling system are not important (7L), and also the case where the flow rate of a coolant through the coil was varied (6L). Vibrating, Pulsing, and Reciprocating Mixers

No papers were published on batch mixing with a

Mixing through Flow Distributors

Correlations to predict the rate of mass transfer in packed beds included droplet size, dispersed phase, and holdup and showed the need for more work on backmixing and the effect of mechanical agitation outside of the droplet (6P). Studies on axial mixing in packed beds were presented (4P). The use of a packed bed for mixing is VOL. 5 8

covered by Hassell and Bondi (3P). Concurrent flow of immiscible liquids in packed beds is discussed by Rigg and Churchill (8P). The absorption of oxygen into sodium sulfite was studied in a gas-bubble column (7ZP). The hydraulic resistance of a horizontal unpacked absorber with various dispersing devices was presented ( 2 ) . The use of direct contact heat transfer is being considered for many applications and one study measured temperature profiles and transfer of heat between warm kerosine and cool water (7P). Various mixing effects in sieve-plate equipment included contact surface studies (QP),longitudinal mixing (5P),and heat transfer (70P). Welch, Durbin, and Holland presented information on mixing on valve trays and in downcomers of a distillation column ( 7 If‘). Fluidized Beds

The mixing of solids in a fluidized-bed reactor was determined using a mathematical model of the drying process in a fluidized bed (ZQ). The mixing characteristics of mixed material beds include fluidization velocities (3Q). The residence time of the solids in a fluidized vessel in multistage fluid-bed reactors includes experimental work (QQ) and a theoretical study (8Q). The residence time distribution and mixing of the gas are equally as important as solids mixing (?Q, 44, 6Q). Two industrial processes include the ethylene hydrogenation and adsorption of ethyl ether on activated carbon (5Q, 704). The manufacture of detergent with spray mixers is an industrially important operation

(74, 774). Pipeline Mixers

Mixing and chemical reaction in a liquid turbulently flowing in a tube are covered in two papers (QR,?OR). Mass transfer with chemical reaction in a viscous fluid was discussed (6R). Several papers considered residence time distribution and axial dispersion in pipeline flow (3R-5R,72R,73R). Scaling up viscoelastic fluids was presented by Slattery

(77R). Dynamics of a homogeneous tubular flow reactor with nonlinear kinetics are solved (7R),while the recirculating type of tubular reactor is covered in another paper (7R). The control of streams into in-line mixers (2R)and the turbulence characteristics of liquid in pipe flow have also been described in publications in this field (8R). An efficient gas absorption device was based on stable aqueous foam moving in a horizontal duct with a gasliquid interaction that caused negligible pressure drop

(74R). Mathematical Description of Single-Stage Mixing

Mathematical studies of retention characteristics of single-stage mixers and reactors were covered by several papers (ZS, 1OS, ?IS, 76s). Mathematical models of the mixing process in a single-stage reactor were discussed ( I d s , 75s). Calculations of unsteady state con54

centrations (7ZS), photochemical reactor design (4S), and polycondensation processes (77s) were covered. A study of the minimum time operation of a batch reactor was presented (73s). The dynamics of reactor response and control systems were discussed in several papers (7S,SS,7S-927, 18S, 79s). The use of the maximum principle in analyzing complicated topology was presented (357, as was a mathematical study of mixing in microbial kinetics in an activated sludge process (6s). Mathematical Description of Multistage Mixing

The distribution of residence times in multistage 72T, ? 3 T ) ,as was a means of systems was presented (6T, solving problems by Haldane’s method (32”). The design of a flow reactor with longitudinal dispersion based on experimental rate data was discussed by Miyauchi (9T).The method of moments applied to a cascade of discrete stages was presented ( 7 7 7 , and questions of optimum design in multistage systems were studied (4T,8T). The stability of cascaded reactors was presented by Berger and Perlmutter ( Z T ) . Applications of multistage analyses to processes included use of crystallizers ( 7 7 T),countercurrent extracand gas absorption ( S T ) . tion (7T,70T), Patents
