Claims
- 1. A process for impact crushing of solid particles in a suspension stored in a container so that the particles are disintegrated into a plurality of smaller particles, comprising
- introducing a portion of said suspension into an acceleration nozzle at a first energy level;
- introducing an acceleration fluid into said acceleration nozzle at a second energy level higher than said first energy level for accelerating the suspension to form a high energy fluid jet comprising said suspension and said acceleration fluid; and
- directing said fluid jet into said container for causing said particles in said fluid jet to collide with particles stored in said container for crushing said particles.
- 2. A process for impact crushing of solid particles according to claim 1 wherein said nozzle has a discharge end disposed within said container, said suspension and said acceleration fluid combining to form said fluid jet within said container.
- 3. A process for impact crushing of solid particles according to claim 1 wherein one of said suspension and said acceleration fluid is introduced into said nozzle in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of said nozzle and the other of said suspension and said acceleration fluid is introduced into said nozzle in a direction parallel to a radius of said nozzle, and said fluid jet exits said nozzle in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of said nozzle.
- 4. A process for impact crushing of solid particles according to claim 1 wherein said acceleration fluid also has particles suspended therein.
- 5. A process for impact crushing of solid particles in a suspension stored in a container so that said particles are disintegrated into a plurality of smaller particles, comprising
- introducing a first portion of said suspension into a first acceleration nozzle at a first energy level;
- introducing an acceleration fluid into said first acceleration nozzle at a second energy level higher than said first energy level for accelerating the first portion of said suspension to form a first high energy fluid jet; and
- introducing a second portion of said suspension into a second acceleration nozzle at a third energy level;
- introducing an acceleration fluid into said second acceleration nozzle at a fourth energy level higher than said third energy level for accelerating the second portion of said suspension to form a second high energy fluid jet;
- directing said first fluid jet into said container; and
- directing said second fluid jet into said container in a direction which causes the particles in said first fluid jet to collide with the particles in said second fluid jet within the suspension stored in said container.
