Abstract

Obtaining a high-quality highly dispersed salt solution can be realized from a salt solution by the method of ultrasonic exposure. As you know, concentrated salt solutions can be presented in the form of a gas-liquid medium. The influence of ultrasound, in the case of wetting a surface vibrating with an ultrasonic frequency by a thin layer, leads to the formation of a cavitation layer in the liquid layer and capillary waves on its surface, from the ridges of which, at a certain intensity of oscillations, finely dispersed aerosol droplets are detached.
The detachment of droplets from the vibrating surface leads to the formation of finely dispersed salt aerosol, which saturates the heated air, which is tangentially fed into the cylindrical working chamber with further separation of hydrodynamic processes. Part of the aerosol wets the heated inner surface of the cylindrical chamber with the formation of a thin film, which gravitationally flows down the vertical solid surface and is subjected to active evaporation with the removal of the salt phase, and the second part is subjected to additional grinding and active evaporation in the central turbulent flow and centrifugal turbulent flow of hot air with additional by removing the salt phase. In order to intensify the salt removal process, the surface on which the film is formed can be profiled. Ultrasonic dispersion of the salt solution to a finely dispersed state allows to significantly increase the surface of contact with the heated air, which allows to intensify the diffusion process.
