A liquid vortex separator including a vortex tube ( 16 ) with an impeller ( 13 ) in the feed end to impart a rotational motion to liquid within the tube, a feed cylinder ( 12 ) connected to the vortex tube by a reducing cone ( 14 ). The separator has a separating cone ( 17 ) at the outlet end, an annular collecting ring ( 18 ) for heavy solids and a liquid discharge pipe extending axially from the separating cone. A feed tank ( 31 ) and circulating stream arrangement ensures operation of the system at varying feed rates. The liquid vortex separator may also be fitted with microwave generators ( 40 ), electrodes ( 51 )powered from a DC source or magnets ( 60 ) to produce desired effects or chemical reactions in the material being processed through the liquid vortex separator.
