Where the density difference of the two liquid phase to be separated is very small (as in milk cream separator), the most suitable separator is a____________________?
Correct answer: A. Disc bowl centrifuge
- A. Disc bowl centrifuge
- B. Sharpies super-centrifuge
- C. Batch basket centrifuge
- D. Sparkler filter
Explanation
A disc-bowl centrifuge is especially suitable for liquid-liquid separation when the phases have only a small density difference, as in cream separation from milk. Its closely spaced discs provide a large settling area and high separation efficiency.
