CENTRIFUGE FOR SEPARATION OF MULTI-COMPONENT LIQUID MEDIUM Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: equipment for separation of multi- component liquid media containing dispersed fractions, salts, acids, alkalis and other soluble agents. SUBSTANCE: proposed centrifuge includes rotor provided with circular chambers where pressure disks with discharge branch pipes are located. Located axially at the bottom of rotor is supply pipe; additional supply pip is secured at the top. Arranged inside rotor are coaxial cylindrical filtering chambers whose walls are made from diaphragms forming flow-through passages. Tubular membrane filter is mounted at spaced relation along axis of rotor in discharge section of additional supply pipe. Hood secured to end flange of section shell is used for centrifuging liquid medium; continuous cylindrical shell of this hood forms circular clearances with membranes of filtering chambers. Rotor is made from current-conducting material, titanium for example and is grounded. Discharge section of additional supply pipe and membranes of filtering chambers are also made from current-conducting material; they are connected to power supply source forming cathode-anode pairs of electrolyzers communicated by means of circulating collector located in housing and provided with flow-through filter-electrolyzer. EFFECT: increased productivity due to selfregeneration of membranes. 2 cl, 1 dwg
