Second hand three legged centrifuge modelA centrifuge is a separation machine that separates a mixture of solids and liquids (liquid and liquid) to obtain solids and liquids (or liquid and liquid) separately. What is its working principle? As we all know, natural stratification occurs when a mixture of liquids with different densities is left to settle. The solid generally settles to the bottom layer, while the upper layer forms a clear liquid. Some are prone to delamination, such as mud and water, while others require a long time to separate and have poor results. Natural stratification relies on the acceleration of the Earth's gravity. In order to meet the needs of industrial production, people need to separate certain mixed liquids faster and more, which creates centrifuges. Centrifuges generate strong centrifugal force through high-speed rotation, and their centrifugal separation coefficient is usually the same as the acceleration of gravityHundreds of times, thousands of times, tens of thousands of times, so the separation speed is very fast. However, due to the significant differences in the properties of different materials, various specifications of centrifuges have been formed. Generally, centrifuges for separating solids and liquids have a speed of less than 3000 revolutions per minute. For mixtures with finer particles and smaller density differences, centrifuges with a speed between 8000 and 30000 revolutions per minute are needed for separation, while for uranium enrichment and separation, centrifuges with higher speeds are required.
