Which of the following statements about centrifugal extractors are correct? Statement 1: Discrete stages can be recognized. Statement 2: The applied centrifugal force causes the two phases to move radially in countercurrent mode. Correct Answer True, False
In centrifugal extractors no discrete stages can be recognized. The principle of this design is to introduce the heavy phase close to the axis of a rotating container, while the light phase is introduced close to the periphery. The applied centrifugal force causes the two phases to move radially in a countercurrent mode in such a way that the heavy phase is moved to the periphery and the light phase to the rotation axis.
