Inclined plate separation device
Thread Content
For the two immiscible solvents in the mother liquor, if we want to achieve phase separation, we generally use a phase separator and rely on gravitational sedimentation – with the lighter components remaining in the upper layer and the heavier components in the lower layer – but the sedimentation time is too long. Not long ago, I overheard someone mention that there is a type of inclined plate separation device which, through internal inclined plates and other components, can not only separate the layers on the left and right but also **increase the speed at which the layers are separated. I would like to ask the experts here: could you explain the basic principle behind this type of inclined plate separation? It would also be great if you could recommend some manufacturers that produce such equipment :)
If the material is sticky or crystalline, it’s likely to be difficult
The viscosity of our mother liquor isn’t too high. I saw before that it’s used for oil-water separation in wastewater treatment. I just couldn’t find any specific descriptions, so I don’t really understand how it works.
Inclined plate (tube) separation, in essence, still relies on the principle of gravitational sedimentation.
