Abstract:
1. A hydro-dynamic static mixing apparatus for flowing fluidized slurries comprising, in combination, a preselected and predetermined configuration and length of undulating tubular conduit for mixing and/or transporting various substances including highly abrasive solids contained in slurries, said conduit being interconnected into a transportation and processing separation system for such slurries, said conduit having an internal radius r 1 and the undulations are formed by a coil having a second radius r 2 such that the diameter of the conduit is greater than the coil diameter, means for pumping said fluidized slurry through the undulating interior conduit portion at some stage of transportation through the separation system, and said undulating tubular conduit interior configuration causing dynamic mixing of flowing slurries as said slurries are pumped through the conduit.
