Apparatus for the separation of a mixture of components, particularly molten metals, metal compounds and/or metal containing slags in a centrifugal force field

摘要

An apparatus for the separation of components such as molten metals, compounds or metal containing slags centrifugally including a centrifugal body universally suspended including a hollow shaft with a concentric inlet opening at the bottom to be submerged beneath the surface of a liquid to be separated with the larger basket portion surrounding an upper portion of the shaft radially communicating openings and dual layered annular cooling sleeves surrounding the pipe and basket with means for conducting a cooling fluid therethrough and the fluid picking up heat in the submerged area and heating the tube at an upper portion thereof, and light component openings and heavy component openings leading radially outwardly from the basket being located at a radius larger than the radius of the inlet at the base of the tube and successively larger than each other with the tube in one form having a ceramic mouth at the base and a collar insert, and in one form, flaring radially outwardly in an upward direction.
