摘要

THE PRESENT INVENTION CONCERNS A DEVICE (1) FOR SEPARATING TWO COMPONENTS OF A MIXTURE (11) OF NON-MISCIBLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY WATER OR SALT WATER AND OILS. CONSISTING OF SUCH DEVICE (1) OF A HOLLOW BODY (2), WHICH HAS AN INLET DOOR (4) TO FEED THE MIXTURE (11) AND OUTLET DOORS (5, 6) TO DISCHARGE SEPARATE COMPONENTS, AND A FILTER (7 ) FORMED OF A SCARLY COMPACT HYDROPHILIC MATERIAL (8) IN FIBERS, AND POSITIONED BETWEEN SUCH INLET DOOR (4) AND THE SEPARATE WATER DOOR (5). SAID FILTER (7), WHEN IT IS SOAPED WITH CLEAN WATER, IT ONLY ALLOWS THE MIXED WATER TO GO TO THE COMPONENT (11), WHILE THE OIL COMPONENT IS REPELLED FROM IT. THE PRESENT INVENTION ALSO CONCERNS A METHOD TO SEPARATE THE COMPONENTS OF A MIXTURE OF NON-MISCIBLE LIQUIDS, WHICH MAKES USE OF THE DEVICE SPECIFIED ABOVE FOR IT.
