An apparatus is provided for removal of grit from a finely dispersed solid containing gas stream serving for the pneumatic conveyance of this material, the apparatus comprising a closed separator housing having a funnel shaped lower portion, a supply tube for the conveying gas stream opening laterally in the upper part of the housing, an outlet tube (in a given case connected to a vacuum source) for purified finely dispersed solid disposed opposite the supply tube in the upper part of the housing, a vertically disposed connecting piece between the lower end of the funnel shaped lower portion and a discharge valve, an axially disposed cap shaped displacement member open at its lower end in said connecting piece and of lesser diameter whereby an annular gap is formed between the displacement member and the connecting piece and a supply tube for furnishing a secondary gas stream to the interior of said displacement member. There is also described the process of removing the grit from the finely divided solid using this apparatus.

Apparatus for the removal of grit from a gas stream pneumatically conveying a finely dispersed solid, said apparatus comprising a closed separator housing having an upper portion and a funnel-shaped lower portion, means for introducing said gas stream into said upper portion of said housing, said means comprising a laterally disposed supply tube having a cross-sectional area substantially less that the cross-sectional area of said upper portion of said housing, means for allowing the removal of grit from said gas supply stream as grit falls from said gas stream due to the differential in cross-sectional area between said supply tube and said housing, said means comprising a discharge valve disposed below said housing lower portion, and a vertically disposed connecting member between the lower extremity of said funnel-shaped lower housing portion and said discharge valve, means for withdrawing gas having finely dispersed solid but substantially no grit therein from said housing, said means including an outlet tube extending laterally from said housing upper portion, and means for regulating the range of size of finely dispersed solid and grit that will be removed from said gas stream in said housing, said means including an axially disposed cap-shaped displacement member having an opening in the lower end thereof and disposed in said vertically disposed connecting member, said displacement member having a smaller cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of said connecting member and being located substantially concentrically with said connecting member so that an annular gap is formed therebetween, and means for supplying secondary gas under pressure to said displacement member so that a secondary gas stream flow therethrough and upwardly into said separator housing.
