Abstract:
An apparatus is described for intimately admixing two liquid components which react chemically with each other immediately after mixing (the mixing of phosgene and polyamines is an example). The mixing is accomplished by introducing one component in the form of a fan shaped spray into a mixing chamber, and causing this spray to intersect with twin fan-shaped sprays of the second component which latter sprays are introduced into the mixing chamber from preferably diametrically opposed locations in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the first component spray. The process and apparatus in question provide improved mixing, substantially reduce problems of solids deposition hitherto encountered in similar processes, and give products of greater uniformity and improved physical properties.
