Abstract

There is disclosed an apparatus for treating a downwardly moving, compact bed of solid particles by contact with a flooding liquid, e.g., corn solids are treated with an aqueous solution of lime. Means are provided to obtain relatively uniform, gravity flow of the compact solids through the bed to provide for relatively uniform treatment of the solids with the liquid.
