Abstract
A horizontal mixer () is disclosed. Multiple blades () are affixed to and rotate with a tumbler () of the mixer (). These blades () extend within an interior mixing chamber () and are center-angled so as to promote a desirable mixing action within this chamber () (e.g. so as to fold a slurry within the chamber () onto itself). One characterization is that the blades () are oriented so as to direct a flow toward a common outlet region () within the tumbler () throughout at least a certain rotational angle. The mixer () is particularly suited for realizing a desirable homogeneity of particles within a slurry from which radioisotopes may be produced.
