  • Publication number: 20220288543
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an installation and to a method for recirculating and mixing a fluid which is preferably a shear-thinning fluid. The installation comprises a tank, a pump, a piping assembly connected to the pump and comprising an injection piping for injecting said fluid into the tank and a return piping coupled to the injection piping for pumping the said fluid from the tank to the injection piping, wherein the piping assembly and the tank form a flow recirculation path in which fluid is homogenized by recirculation of the fluid upon action of the said pump, the injection piping being designed such as to reinject the fluid in at least two peripheral bottom locations with an horizontal and/or inclined orientation such as to create a swirl movement in the tank and to reinject simultaneously said fluid upwardly through a central location in a zone comprised between the central axis of the tank and the half radius of the tank such as to create a jet of fluid having a main vertical component.

  • Patent number: 9725360
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the dry slaking of calcium oxides and magnesium from calcomagnesian compound containing preferably at least 10 wt. % of MgO in relation to the total weight of said calcomagnesian compound, in which calcomagnesian compound is supplied to a slaking vessel, a slaking aqueous phase is supplied to the slaking vessel, followed by slaking the calcomagnesian compound delivered to the slaking vessel, by means of the slaking aqueous phase, and forming hydrated solid particles of calcium hydroxides and magnesium, in the presence of an additive. The invention also relates to the compound produced in this way.

  • Publication number: 20150344319
    Abstract: A method for preparing a calcium carbonate gel, comprising a reaction between slaked lime in solid, dry from, and of alcohol so as to form an alcoholic suspension of calcium alcoholate, an injection of carbon dioxide into said suspension, and gelling of the suspension as a precipitated calcium carbonate alcogel, this alcogel then being able to be dried into an aerogel or xerogel of calcium carbonate.
