Abstract 975,274. Gas/liquid contact apparatus. AEROTEC INDUSTRIES Inc. July 24, 1961 [Aug. 1, 1960], No. 26766/61. Heading B1R. Apparatus for interphase contact between a liquid and a gas comprises a container 10 having vertically spaced fluid-passable partitions 11, 14, between which are contained spherical bodies of a weight to be buoyed towards the upper partition by gas passing upward, the upper partition 11 constituting an inclined contact frontier adapted to deflect the bodies laterally on contact from below. The upper partition may be inclined upwardly from a mid-point of the container and also may be inclined downwardly near the wall of the container, or may comprise a plurality of inclined surfaces extending from one side wall of the container to the other, the inclinations alternating with respect to the horizontal. The upper contact frontier may be a foraminated plate or may be defined by free ends of pins extending downwards in the container. The lower partition may be planar or curved convex downwards. The container may be narrowed in transverse lateral cross-section where the lower boundary joins the walls. Specification 898,092 is referred to.
APPARATUS FOR INTERPHASE CONTACT BETWEEN A LIQUID AND A FLUID WHICH COMPRISES A CONTAINER HAVING A PAIR OF VERTICALLY SPACED FORAMINOUS PARTITIONS DIVIDING SAID CONTAINERS INTO A LOWER CHAMBER FOR THE INLET OF GAS AND WITHDRAWAL OF LIQUID, AN UPPER CHAMBER FOR THE SUPPLY OF LIQUID AND THE WITHDRAWAL OF GAS AND AN INTERMEDIATE CHAMBER FOR INTERPHASE CONTACT OF SAID LIQUID AND GAS, SAID UPPER PARTITION EXTENDING IN A SUCCESSION OF OPPOSITELY INCLINED UPWARDLY SLOPING AREAS FROM ONE WALL OF SAID CONTAINER TO THE OPPOSITE WALL TO DEFLECT SPHERES IN SAID INTERMEDIATE CHAMBER UPWARDLY AND SIDEWISE ALONG THE UNDER SURFACE OF SAID PARTITION, SAID CONTAINER HAVING A GAS INLET BELOW THE LOWER PARTITION AND A GAS OUTLET ABOVE THE UPPER PARTITION, A LIQUID SUPPLY ELEMENT ABOVE THE UPPER PARTITION AND A LIQUID OUTLET BELOW THE LOWER PARTITION AND SPHERES IN SAID CONTAINER BETWEEN SAID PARTITIONS, SAID SPHERES BEING OF A WEIGHT TO BE BUOYED
