This invention discloses a
hypergravity reactor with a conical
elevator and its application. The
hypergravity reactor includes a shell, a feed inlet, a rotor, a packing layer, a
discharge outlet, a drain outlet, and a conical
elevator. The feed inlet includes a first feed inlet and a second feed inlet. The conical
elevator includes a conical lifting cavity, spiral blades, a
flange, and a central column. The conical lifting cavity is conical in shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with the upper port
diameter larger than the lower port
diameter. The sidewall of the conical lifting cavity is inclined relative to the rotation axis of the rotor, and the angle between the sidewall of the conical lifting cavity and the rotation axis is an inclination angle. θ When the tilt angle θ At angles greater than approximately 5.5°, increasing the rotational speed no longer exacerbates
particle adhesion; instead, it promotes particle detachment along the inclined wall, enabling the elevator to achieve self-cleaning capabilities at high speeds. Compared to traditional cylindrical elevators, the conical elevator of this invention can reduce the adhesion rate of
solid particles by approximately 50% to 91% and increase the liquid-
solid mass transfer coefficient by approximately 3 times.
