Distinctive Features of Suspension Separation Process in Filtering Centrifuge Rotors

Abstract

Suspension separation process in a filtering centrifuge type of equipment with periodic and continuous sediment discharge as an aggregate of phenomena of solid sedimentation, sediment formation on rotor wall, and filtration of clarified liquid was studied. A quantitative analysis was made of the liquid system separation efficiency in terms of treatment time and throughput of specific centrifugal machines as a function of solid phase concentration in the suspension, dispersity of the treated product, and filtering principles of the rotor.
