FEEDING DEVICE AND PROCESS AND FEEDING SYSTEM WHICH UTILISE THE FEEDING DEVICE
Feeding device (1) for feeding burned lime to a reaction vessel for causticizing a soda liquor to caustic soda, which feeding device, in its upper part, comprises an inlet for a slurry of said burned lime and said soda liquor, or inlets (3, 4) for said burned lime and said soda liquor, respectively, for formation of said slurry inside said feeding device, and further comprises a feed vessel (9) of tall and slender shape, which feed vessel in its lower part comprises an outlet (10) for said slurry, which outlet, via one or more pump(s) (24, 25), is operatively connected to said reaction vessel. The invention also relates to a process and a feeding system which utilises said feeding device, in which process the slurry is created of said burned lime and a first part of said soda liquor, a second part being preheated (28) before addition to the slurry, whereafter slaking and causticizing reactions are completed under elevated temperature and pressure.
