✦ Synopsis

A radiotracer method for testing the mixing characteristics of industrial continuous mixers in actual process conditions is described. The tracer is fed into the input of the mixer at a constant rate and the radiation in the output is measured by two properly collimated radiation detectors. The measurement yields data in the form of two time series which contain information about the radial and axial homogeneity of the tracer in the measuring point. The formulas connecting the information in the measurement data and the axial and radial concentration variation of tracer are derived by the methods of statistical mathematics. The values for experimental parameters are obtained by computer simulation of the radiation measurement geometry.

The method was tested by measuring the increase of the homogeneity as a function of mixing distance in a static tube chlorine mixer in a pulp bleaching plant. Also some results obtained on another type of mixers showing the effect of pulp type on mixing are given.

Mixing is widely used in the food processing industry to ensure uniform product quality. However, a fundamental understanding of the process is limited and there is increasing need for setting scientific criteria to optimize the design and performance of mixers.

## Abstract It is demonstrated experimentally by example of simple, commercially available T‐junctions and by ”unsymmetrical” V‐type micromixers that mixing times cannot be derived by applying the Iodide Iodate Reaction Method without considering the specific mixer geometry.
