  • Patent Document 2 discloses a sedimentation type liquid-liquid separator including: a main body portion which includes a hollow cylindrical body portion, wherein the inside of the main body portion is equipped with a rectification member and a sedimentation member used to settle a sedimentation liquid with a high specific gravity in the liquid mixture passing through the rectification member.
  • the liquid mixture enters similar to a laminar state by the rectification member, and the liquid mixture which enters similar to a laminar state is supplied to a region provided with the sedimentation member, so that the separation of the liquid mixture is promoted in the sedimentation member.
  • the inclined passageway or the sedimentation member includes plural passageways through which the liquid mixture flows. For this reason, it is desirable that all passageways serve to separate the liquids with substantially the same efficiency so that the inclined
  • passageway or the sedimentation member efficiently separates the liquid. Specifically, it is desirable that the flow rates and the states of the liquid mixtures supplied to all passageways be the same (that is, the mixture ratio between the main liquid and the sedimentation liquid in the liquid mixture be the same).
  • the speed of the liquid mixture becomes faster. Accordingly, the distance necessary for settling the sedimentation liquid from the main liquid becomes longer.
  • the sedimentation member may not be utilized.
  • the circulating flow occurs before and after the rectification plate or the rectification member after installing the rectification plate or the rectification member, the circulating flow is not strong enough to promote the mixture between the main liquid and the sedimentation liquid. Accordingly, the mixture ratio between the main liquid and the sedimentation liquid contained in the liquid mixture is almost the same before and after the rectification plate or the rectification member.
  • the liquid mixture which does not pass through the rectification plate or the rectification member in general, a large ratio of a main liquid with a low specific gravity is present at the upper portion of the liquid mixture, and a large ratio of a sedimentation liquid with a high specific gravity is present at the lower portion thereof.

Then, in a case where the hole diameter of the penetration hole formed at the upper portion is larger than that of the penetration hole formed at the lower portion, the liquid mixture may easily pass through the upper portion of the upstream rectification member compared to the lower portion thereof. On the contrary, in a case where the hole diameter of the penetration hole formed at the lower portion is larger than that of the penetration hole formed at the upper portion, the liquid mixture may easily pass through the lower portion of the upstream rectification member compared to the upper portion thereof. For this reason, in a case where the liquid mixture contains a large ratio of a liquid with a high specific gravity
  • the ratio of the high-specific-gravity liquid which passes through the upper portion of the upstream rectification member may be increased compared to the case where the upstream rectification member is provided with penetration holes with the uniform hole diameter.

  • the uniform mixture ratio of the liquid mixture between both plates may be promoted in a manner such that the amount of the low-specific-gravity liquid increases somewhat between the upstream rectification member and the downstream rectification member. Accordingly, since the state of the liquid mixture which has passed through the rectification member may be made to be uniform within the cross-section of the body portion, the liquid may be separated with substantially the same efficiency in all passageways in the sedimentation member, and the liquid separating efficiency in the sedimentation member, that is, the liquid separating efficiency of the device may be improved.
