Process for the preparation of

Process for the preparation of alkyl 3-chlorophenyl sulfones

In a process for the biological purification of waste water by mixing a sludge-water mixture and air in an activation chamber charged continuously with waste water, activated sludge and air and from which an equivalent quantity of sludge-water mixture is discharged, the sludge-water mixture is guided along with the air in the activation chamber so as to define at least one loop shape motion. In a further embodiment of the process that part of the sludge-water mixture that does not continue its loop shape course is submitted to a biological after-reaction, preferably occurring in the activation chamber, while avoiding backmixing with the mixture in loop shape motion.

Process for the biological purification of waste water

In a device for gassing liquids or suspensions, a first guide means is located at a short distance, opposite the orifice of a jet pipe. This guide means is supported via a gas inlet on a second guide means. The first guide means provided can be a cone and the second guide means can be a truncated cone which merges into a disc-shaped annular zone.

Device for gassing liquids or suspensions

A device for the biological purification of waste water and for the degasification and clarification of a sludge-water mixture resulting from the biological purification includes a reactor container defining a chamber, means for introducing air, waste water and activated sludge into the chamber and means for discharging overflowing sludge-water mixture from the reactor container (activation chamber). A guide element is disposed within the chamber for maintaining a loop-shaped flow therein. A section of the wall of the reactor container is surrounded by a jacket, the lower end of which is joined to the periphery of the wall of the reactor container intermediate its ends and the upper end of which is substantially concentric to and spaced outwardly from the container; the lower portion of the jacket may have an inverted frusto-conical configuration; the jacket defines with the reactor container an annular space around the container, a portion of said space being adapted for settling of sludge out of the sludge-water mixture overflow. An inlet element and a discharge trough are arranged about the reactor container. The overflow from the reactor container discharges into the inlet element and passes via outlet means to the settling portion of said annular space, wherein sludge separates from effluent of the sludge-water mixture. Effluent from the mixture passes into the discharge trough for removal via another outlet means from the apparatus.
