MAGNETIC FIELD AND FIELD GRADIENT ENHANCED CENTRIFUGATION SOLID-LIQUID SEPARATIONS

摘要

This invention relates to a continuous or batch centrifugation solid–liquid separation process comprising simultaneously subjecting the solid-liquid mixture to localized magnetic field gradients and the centrifugation and to improved centrifugation solid–liquid separation processes wherein the improvement comprises simultaneously subjecting the solid-liquid mixture to a homogeneous magnetic field, a magnetic field gradient or both prior to and/or during the centrifugation.
