ABSTRACT Solids and liquid classification is accomplished by introducing a mixture of solid particles and liquid, such as sand and water, and/or mixtures of immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, tangentially into a chamber defined by the walls of an enclosed right circular cylindrical vessel. In a preferred embodiment the tangential entrance is near the upper end of the cylindrical chamber and is directed in a plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of the cylinder. Liquid is withdrawn. from the top center of the cylindrical chamber through a discharge port with its center on the chamber axis. Liquid-solid separator in which the materials to be separated are introduced tangentially into a right circular cylindrical vessel including a substantially flat bottom with an opening in the center. The flow velocity is such that the suspended material accumulates in the center of the flat bottom and exits through the opening therein. A quiescent chamber receives the material issuing through the opening. A centrally located top outlet opening removes ex- cess liquid. The apparatus may be operated so that a free vortex is obtained and material is separately removed from the core of the free vortex. The apparatus may also be operated so that material located adjacent the bottom may be removed from orbits determined by the specific gravity and settling velocity of the material relative to the liquid flow velocity.
