3. Washability and partition curves – Separation forecasts

3.1 Laboratory tests

Continuous density distribution can be represented by curves.

Liquors such as those shown in Table 2 , with increasing densities, can be used to separate the product into densimetric slices. These are generally organic liquors. A liquor of density d has a density ρ = ρ _o d, ρ _o being the density of the reference liquor (usually water, so ρ _o " 1).
