Title:
PROCESS AND DEVICES FOR HOMOGENEOUSLY MIXING A SOLID PHASE WHICH IS PRESENT IN FINELY DISPERSED STATE WITH A FLUID
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/070121
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for the homogeneous mixing of a finely dispersed solid phase with a fluid in a vessel (12), whereby a means (11) for mixing the solid phase (13) is moveably arranged in the vessel (12) and whereby the diameter of the means (11) is 70-99% of the inner diameter of the vessel (12). Further, the present invention comprises an array, which comprises a plurality of devices according to the invention for the parallel homogeneous mixing of a plurality of solid phases with the same or different fluids.

Claims:
Claims
| 1. | Process for the homogeneous mixing of a finely dispersed solid phase with a fluid in a vessel (12), whereby a means (11) for mixing the solid phase is arranged in a moveable manner in the vessel (12) and whereby the diame ter of the means (11) is 7099% of the inner diameter of the vessel (12). |
| 2. | Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the primary structure of the solid phase remains essentially unchanged. |
| 3. | Process according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the solid phase is a powder or a granulate. |
| 4. | Process according to claim 3, characterized in that the fluid is introduced into the solid phase in a homogeneous, inhomogeneous or in a combinato rial way. |
| 5. | Process according to one of the proceeding claims characterized in that the fluid comprises one or more components. |
| 6. | Process according to one of the proceeding claims characterized in that the process is carried out automated in a parallel or sequential manner. |
| 7. | Device (10) for the homogeneous mixing of a finely dispersed solid phase with a fluid comprising a vessel (12) and a means (11) for mixing the solid phase (13) which are movably arranged in the vessel (12) and whereby the diameter of the means (11) is 7099% of the inner diameter of the vessel (12). |
| 8. | Device according to claim 7, characterized in that the means (11) is per manently magnetic or permanently magnetizable. |
