Abstract
A chemical mixing chamber for use in the plating industry is disclosed. The device is particularly useful in the mixing of long chain molecule polymers with water, to break up the polymer in order to provide greater surface area. This is advantageous in mixing the polymer material with solutions of metal acid residue, as the resulting greater surface area of the polymer provides for better electrostatic attraction to the ions in solution. The present invention provides for the efficient breakup of the polymer material, in a device having no moving parts. The water inlet and water-polymer outlet are coaxial, thus providing for ease of installation in a line. The device may be constructed of standard parts and components, and may be formed of various materials (PVC plastic,, stainless steel, iron or other metal pipe,, etc.) as required for the particular environment, and may be used as a mixing chamber for various types of fluids or liquids in various industries and environments.
