A gas/liquid dissolution device includes: a dissolution case; an introduction port outside a side surface of the dissolution case; a gas/liquid separation inducing means in the dissolution case, the gas/liquid separation inducing means inducing the dissolution water and an insoluble gas introduced into the dissolution case; and a discharge port outside an end portion of the dissolution case. The introduction port includes: an introduction tube connected to the dissolution case; an insertion tube inserted into the introduction tube; and an intake tube connected to the insertion tube. The discharge port has a structure where a discharge flow path communicating with an interior of the dissolution case is formed therein. The gas/liquid separation inducing means includes: a first gas/liquid separation guide tube, one side end portion of the first gas/liquid separation guide tube contacting an end surface of a discharge portion of the dissolution case and an other side end portion of the first gas/liquid separation guide tube spaced apart from an opposite end surface of the dissolution case; and a second gas/liquid separation guide tube, one side end portion of the second gas/liquid separation guide tube spaced apart from the end surface of the discharge portion of the dissolution case and an other side end portion of the second gas/liquid separation guide tube contacting the opposite end surface of the dissolution case. A guide channel is formed on each of the first gas/liquid separation guide tube and the second gas/liquid separation guide tube, and the insoluble gas is separated from the dissolution water to flow by the guide channel. The different kinds of the soluble gases are easily introduced through the intake tube. As a result, the dissolution ability of the gas is improved and the separation ability of the insoluble gas is also improved. Therefore, the dissolution water including the microbubble is effectively generated, and a phenomenon that the flow state of the dissolution water is deteriorated by the insoluble gas is prevented.

The invention relates to apparatus and a process for mixing a gas/vapour with a process liquid comprising a material and a carrier liquid. The apparatus comprises a passage (10) of polygonal cross section having an inlet (14), an outlet (16) for a process liquid comprising the material, and a nozzle (24) for introducing supersonic gas/vapour at a mixing zone (42) in a single plane.

The present application is directed towards systems for adding components to materials being fluidized in a vibratory mixer by use of atomizers or sprayers. A mechanical system can fluidizes, mix, coat, dry, combine, or segregate materials. The system may comprise a vibratory mixer, mixing vessel containing a first material and a sprayer to introduce a second material. The vibratory mixer may generate a fluidized bed of a first material and the sprayer, coupled to the mixing vessel, may introduce a second material onto the fluidized bed to mix the materials in a uniform and even fashion.

A dynamic wetting head with which polymers are prewetted and mixed. The prewetted and mixed polymers are typically used in the process of polymer flooding during chemical enhanced oil recovery. The dynamic wetting head comprises a prewetting unit and a mixing unit. The prewetting unit has a feed spigot provided in communication with a source of powder and projecting at least partially into a wetting chamber of the prewetting unit. The feed spigot feeds polymer powder into the wetting chamber. Furthermore, at least a first spray nozzle sprays water into the wetting chamber. The mixing unit comprises a mixing chamber with an inlet provided in communication with the wetting chamber outlet, a feed water inlet, and an outlet. A mixer is furthermore arranged within the mixing chamber.
