  • Solid/liquid separation through liquid vaporization and condensation, and apparatus therefor
    Patent number: 4292121
    Abstract: A solids/liquid admixture is introduced into an atmosphere (temperature and reduced pressure) in which the liquid is immediately converted to a saturated vapor and thus relieved of associated solids, which are withdrawn. The saturated vapor is then conducted to a surface on which it condenses and from which it is collected. Suitable apparatus is provided in the form of modules, which are efficiently operated in multiples of four in a common temperature-stabilizing medium.
