Abstract
A novel self-stirring tubular reactor driven by pressure energy used in bauxite digestion process is presented originally in this paper. This reactor combines the advantages of autoclaves and conventional tubular digestion equipment, it can restrain scale at high temperature and high pressure and intensify mass and heat transfer. Stirring of the novel reactor only needs the pressure energy of the liquid. Performance of self-stirring reactor driven by pressure energy was studied in this paper. High-speed photography was adopted in the paper to research the effects of various factors on rotating speed in the self-stirring reactor driven by pressure energy. The results demonstrated that fluid pressure has the most outstanding effects on stirring speed of the novel reactor, and the effects of fluid density and viscosity on stirring speed are minor.
