Kelsey, C G

Fine particles such as minerals in a slurry are separated according to their specific gravity by cyclic centrifugal acceleration preduced by rotating a chamber (40) about its own axis and a further axis. Particles of greatest specific gravity are removed from the chamber (40) in the region of its side wall most remote from the further axis.
