ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an apparatus and method for conjuncting and separating density differentiated components from a moving carrier liquid. The liquid to be treated flows through zigzagging separation passages comprising cells extending through a three-dimensional lattice constructed of interconnected triangle pairs each defining a cell therebetween. The shear of the liquid is increased to induce component particle conjunctions by flowing the liquid through a narrow cell passage opening. The shear is then decreased as the liquid flows through the ever-widening cell to a wide cell passage opening to induce separation of the component particles. Heavy and light separated component particles are channeled to a lower side and upper side, respectively, of the lattice along zigzagging channels.
