Method and device for separating solids from a liquid phase

摘要

Process for separating solids from a first liquid phase, where the solids in the first liquid phase is contacted with a second liquid phase, and transferred into a second liquid phase. An independent claim is also included for a device for carrying out the separation process comprising a solid-liquid inlet, a solid-liquid outlet, a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. Preferred Features: The solid is washed in a counter current stream with at least partial displacement washing taking place during washing. The first liquid phase contains an organic solvent as the main component and the second liquid phase contains water as the main component. The first and second liquid phases are miscible. The device has a middle part (MT) with n sedimentation plates arranged between a head part (KT) and a base part (BT).
