Apparatus for the decontamination of paper pulp

Abstract

Abstract 1. An appratus for decontaminating and, more particularly, for deinking paper pulp of the type in which a mixture of air with the pulp to be deinked is injected under pressure inot a volume and the foam of ink-laden air bubbles is separed out, characterized in that it is formed of a least one volume (1) having a shape of revolution, divided into at least two parts (2, 3...) by at least one internal ring (4) perpendicular to the axis, extending from the wall (31) of the volume towards the axis, while the said parts (2, 3) communicate together through the central aperture (23, 24) of the ring (4), the injection of the pressurized mixture of pulp and air running into the upper part (2) of said volume, in the form of a high-velocity flat tangential sheet (7) of liquid, the outlet (8, 9) for the purified pulp being located tangentially on the side wall (31) of the lower part (3), and the release of foam taking place in the central zone of the volume.
