4. • A centrifuge is a piece of equipment, generally
driven by an electric motor, that puts an object
in rotation around a fixed axis, applying a force
perpendicular to the axis to separate substances
of different densities
• Convenient method of separating two immiscible
liquid or solid from liquid.
• Basket rotating at high speed
• Vertical axis small size
• Horizontal large continuous
scale.

5. is laboratory equipment,
driven by a motor,
spins liquid samples at high speed.
There are various types of centrifuges,
depending on the size and the sample
capacity.
They vary widely in speed and capacity
May work by the sedimentation principle,
where the centripetal acceleration is used
to separate substances of greater and
lesser density.

7. comprise a rotor containing two, four, six, or many
more numbered wells within which the samples
containing centrifuge tips may be placed.
Difference in design according to it’s use:
a. Perforated basket to separate solid/liquid
b. Non-perforated basket to separate solid/liquid and
liquid/liquid.
Centrifuges are used in: chemistry, biology, and
biochemistry for isolating and separating suspensions.

9. Centrifugal Motion
• Centrifugal acceleration =
rω2
• ω is the angular velocity
in rad/s
• r is the radius of rotation
• Centrifugal force = mrω2
• m is the mass of the
particle
10. • Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF)
measures acceleration applied to
the sample
RCF=(r*ω2)/g
• r=distance from center or motor to
sample
• ω= angular velocity (radians/ second)
• g=9.8m/s2

Theory
• The acceleration is measured in multiples of "g“, the
standard acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's
surface, or × "g", and it is given by
where
g = acceleration
r = rotational radius (centimeter, cm)
N = rotating speed (revolutions per minute, r/min)

Centrifugal filtration
•Disc type
•Tubular bowl type
•Solid Bowl batch basket type
Centrifugal sedimentation
14. Centrifugal filtration
• Perforated metal basket
mounted in vertical axis
• May supported by
metal screen
• Shoveling the cake
Dr. Ibtihal O. Alkarim
15. Tubular bowl type
• Feed added to spinning bowl
• Sedimentation of particles occurs in
centrifugal field
• Flow is upwards at a particular rate
which determines residence time in
device
• Separation happens if sedimentation
velocity is high enough for particle to
reach side of bowl within residence
time
• Large particles have higher settling
velocities than small particles
• Both large and small are still
particles, have small Reynolds no.s
(<1) and obey Stokes’ Law
16. Tubular bowl type
• High speed
• length-diameter ratio
4:8
• 15000 r.p.m
• Used widely in emulsion
• Used in solid with small
amount
Dr. Ibtihal O. Alkarim
17. Tubular bowl type
• Examples:
1. Clearing of fats and waxes
2. Fractionation of blood
3. Recovery of viruses
Dr. Ibtihal O. Alkarim
18. DISC type
• Baffle into bowl
• Length- diameter ratio
and operational speed
is lower than tubular
type
• Manner of Discharge
according to size.

Sections
Sections can help to organize your slides or facilitate collaboration between multiple authors. On the Home tab under Slides, click Section, and then click Add Section.
Notes
Use the Notes pane for delivery notes or to provide additional details for the audience. You can see these notes in Presenter View during your presentation.
Keep in mind the font size (important for accessibility, visibility, videotaping, and online production)
Coordinated colors
Pay particular attention to the graphs, charts, and text boxes.
Consider that attendees will print in black and white or grayscale. Run a test print to make sure your colors work when printed in pure black and white and grayscale.
Graphics, tables, and graphs
Keep it simple: If possible, use consistent, non-distracting styles and colors.
Label all graphs and tables.
Give a brief overview of the presentation. Describe the major focus of the presentation and why it is important.
Introduce each of the major topics.
To provide a road map for the audience, you can repeat this Overview slide throughout the presentation, highlighting the particular topic you will discuss next.
This is another option for an overview using transitions to advance through several slides.
