Tóm tắt

This paper presents the design and preliminary results for a flow-through particle separation unit using standing ultrasonic waves. The results indicate that good separation is obtained at residence times as low as 14 seconds and liquid velocities of 2 mm/sec. The effects of thermally and acoustically induced streaming are discussed. The unit is being used to assess the effective ranges and limits for key parameters in the design of larger scale units.
