Separation of dispersed suspension in rotating test tube

Not only the rotating tube can be used to determine whether a given suspension is separable by centrifugation and also the pertinent parameters involved in scale-up associated with such laboratory testing, the present study addresses the feasibility of projecting results of process separation using continuous-feed centrifuges in absence of dynamic effects associated with complicated flow and sediment/cake solids transport. Pilot study using continuous-feed centrifuges is needed for demonstration and production scale-up and to further assess the impact based on any unforeseen complications.
