Centrifugal separation can be regarded as an extension of gravity separation, as the settling rates of particles are increased under the influence of centrifugal force. It can, however, be used to separate emulsions which are normally stable in a gra...See more
vity field.Centrifugal separation can be performed either by hydrocyclones or centrifuges. The simplicity and cheapness of the hydrocyclone (Chapter 9) make it very attractive, although it suffers from restrictions with respect to the solids concentration that can be achieved and the relative proportions of overflow and underflow into which the feed may be split
