Provided are an apparatus and a method for reaction for use in a co-precipitation reaction for preparing a catalyst or a cathode active material for a lithium secondary battery, which injects a raw material (a solution) at least between impellers according to the solution level in a vessel, thereby making a stirring speed uniform and, in particular, minimizing a concentration difference between solutions. The apparatus for the reaction may comprise: a reaction vessel; a stirring means provided inside the reaction vessel and having multistage impellers; and a raw material injecting means, comprising at least one injection nozzle connected to the reaction vessel, for injecting a raw material at least between impellers.

A tank on a firefighting aircraft initially is loaded with water. A polymer gel emulsion vessel is provided on the aircraft, but is not activated and mixed with tank water until such polymer gel preparation is initiated by an operator. When initiated, a pump pulls water from the tank and doses it with gel emulsion. Double elbows and/or the pump impeller fully activates the polymer gel. The activated polymer gel is mixed within the tank by one of a variety of systems including mixing paddles or sparging with gas. In one embodiment, a hollow tower of telescoping form has a float to keep an upper end near a surface in the tank and a sparging gas entry is a controlled distance below the surface, such that gas of limited pressure, such as from a ram air inlet can sparge and mix the water and activated polymer gel emulsion effectively.

A mixing apparatus has a chemical moving part, a motor, a paddle, and a plate. The chemical moving part is configured to receive and output a chemical in a pipe. The motor is configured to rotatably drive a shaft coupled to the motor at a first end of the shaft. The shaft defines a central rotational axis. The paddle is connected to a second end of the shaft and configured to rotate with the shaft. The plate is configured to secure the motor to the pipe and has a first side facing the motor and a second opposite side facing a projection of the paddle. The first side defines a first length extending in a direction perpendicular to the shaft and the second side defines a second length extending in a direction perpendicular to the shaft. The first length is greater than the second length.
