    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for carrying out a treatment in the presence of centrifugal force. The treatment may be a physical or a chemical treatment. For this purpose the first and second phase are brought into contact with each other. The second phase comprises a phase soluble in the first phase and a third phase dispersed in the soluble phase. According to the invention at least one liquid phase is supplied continuously to a chamber for treatment (2) with a course of treatment while the third phase, which is a non-aggregating phase, is dispersed finely over the breadth of the course of treatment by the first phase.
