ABSTRACT:
Particulate solids are dissolved by circulating the solids in water within a baffleless vessel. The vessel includes an upper cylindrical portion having a smooth continuous inner surface. A lower end of the cylindrical portion is formed continuously with a large diameter end of a conical frustum portion. Liquid is tapped from the small diameter end of the frustum conical portion through a suction line and pump. A part or whole of the liquid drawn off through the suction line is returned to the vessel through an inlet or diverted partially or wholly to a holding tank. The fluid returned to the vessel through the inlet is directed by a nozzle to provide substantially parallel flow to the inside surface of the vessel for creating a circular flow of liquid within the vessel. This together with the recirculation of the liquid from the outlet to the inlet of the vessel also creates a vortex flow of liquid. The circular/vortex flow holds any undissolved particles in an upper region of the cylindrical portion until they are dissolved. Thus, the circular/vortex flow is effective in dissolving the particulate solid prior to flowing through the outlet to form a solution of substantially homogeneous concentration.
