CONE CLASSIFIER

Removal of fine solid particles (grit) from a liquid carrier by gravity separation (settling) or centrifugation.

A group of industrial operations by means of which particles of solid or drops of liquid are removed from a gas or liquid, or are separated into individual fractions, or both, by gravity separation (settling), centrifugal action, and filtration.

The distillation separation of a single liquid feed stream containing three or more components into a single overhead product and a single botmultimeter See volt-ohm-milliammeter.

Device for the controlled 227 fluid distributor fluid dram distribution of fluid feed to a process unit, such as a liquid-gas or liquid-solids contactor, reactor, mixer, burner, or heat exchanger; can be a simple perforated-pipe sparger, spray head, or such.

1. A rotating device for separating liquids of different specific gravities or for separating suspended colloidal particles, such as clay particles in an aqueous suspension, according to particle-size fractions by centrifugal force. 2. A large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects or equipment can be revolved for high ratios of compression.

A shallow bowl with a concave bottom so that a liquid-solid suspension can be fed to the center; coarse particles fall to the bottom, where they are raked to a central discharge point, and liquid and fine particles overflow the edges and are collected.

Separation by boiling of a liquid mixture with different component boiling points; feed is introduced continuously, with continuous removal of overhead vapors and high-boiling bottoms liquids.

1. A device that makes use of a spring for closing, and a compression chamber from which liquid or air escapes slowly, to close a door at a controlled speed. Also known as door check. 2. In elevators, a device or assembly of devices which closes an open car or hoistway door by the use of gravity or springs.

A device used to remove liquid or solid particles from a flowing gas stream.

Chamber or vessel in which the velocity of heavy particles (solids or liquids) in a fluid stream is reduced to allow them to settle downward by gravity, as in the case of a dust-laden gas stream.
