  • Patent number: 11896946
    Abstract: A device and method for increasing solid holdup in a reaction crystallizer are disclosed. The device includes a discharge pipe, a clear liquid pipe, a clear liquid tank and a gas collecting pipe. A lower end of the discharge pipe is inserted into the crystallizer below the liquid level, while that of the clear liquid pipe is inserted into the clear liquid tank below the liquid level. By using the gas collecting pipe, the reaction crystallizer and the clear liquid tank are communicated all the time. When feeding, a liquid-solid mixture in the crystallizer automatically enters the discharge pipe and flows upward slowly therein, during which solid particles gradually settle down and automatically fall back into the crystallizer while the clear liquid keeps on flowing upward, enters the clear liquid pipe and thereby flows into the clear liquid tank. The clear liquid tank maintains a constant liquid level via overflowing.

  • Publication number: 20230211258
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a device and method for extracting a clean liquid from a slurry reactor in an environment-friendly and energy-saving manner. The method mainly includes the following steps: S1. siphoning slurry in the slurry reactor into a material collecting pipe, and then spraying the slurry into a settling tank, so that solid particles settle in the settling tank and return to the slurry reactor through a discharging pipe; S2. making supernatant in the settling tank flow upward along a settling pipe, and then flow downward at a pipe intersection into a clear liquid pipe and flow into a clear liquid transition tank; S3. discharging liquid from the clear liquid transition tank in an overflow manner to keep the constant liquid level and a pressure required for siphoning; and S4.

  • Patent number: 6683483
    Abstract: Two synchronizing flip-flops synchronize the transitions of a slow clock to a fast clock. The state of a version of the synchronized slow clock is stored by a last-state flip-flop that is clocked on an edge of the fast clock. The last-state flip-flop is compared by logic to a version of the synchronized slow clock to produce a pulse with a width determined by either a phase of the fast clock or a cycle of the fast clock.
