A centrifugal extractor made of metacrylate resin has been studied to observe the separation of light and heavy liquid phases. The axial length required for two-phase separation has been evaluated. It is concluded that the length required for separation decreases as revolution increases from 1200 to 2000 rpm, since the droplet diameters are independent of revolution.
