Abstract

A silicic acid filter cake and suspension agent are fed to a container equipped with a stirrer having a peripheral speed of about 20-30 m/sec. The ratio of container diameter to stirrer diameter is about 3:1. The ratio of container diameter to level of filling is a maximum of about 1:2. The container contains at least about 1.5 to about 2 kg of silicic acid suspension, for each 1 kg of silicic acid filter cake which is added to the container. The contents of the container is mixed while maintaining a pH of at most about 4. A portion of the resulting silicic acid suspension is drawn off from the zone of highest turbulence in the container. An apparatus for carrying out the process is provided.
