Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for facilitating particle separation by density includes a separator having an inner surface surrounding a rotation axis and defining a particle path from an input end to an axially spaced output end. The inner surface includes a plurality of axially spaced dividers having respective inner positions, defining at least in part respective axially spaced retainers for collecting particles during rotation of the separator. The retainers each include at least one fluid inlet for fluidizing particles in the retainer during operation. The dividers include a first pair of adjacent dividers and a second pair of adjacent dividers, the first pair nearer the input end than the second pair, wherein a first divider slope of the first pair is greater than a second divider slope of the second pair and wherein each of the first and second divider slopes is zero or positive. Other systems, apparatuses and methods are disclosed.
