A flow-through system for determining the particle size distribution of iron oxide particulate matter in a reactor water sample. The system includes a magnetic filter having a chamber through which a stream of reactor water. The chamber is surrounded by a winding which is coupled to an electrical circuit for generating a varying magnetic field which interacts with any magnetic particulates entrained in the water sample flowing through chamber. When a strong magnetic field is established, magnetic particles are filtered out of the water stream flowing through the chamber by magnetic attraction. Therefore, only particles which are non-magnetic or slightly magnetic pass through the magnetic filter. The particles which pass through the magnetic filter then enter a conventional particle distribution analyzer which counts and sizes the particles in the water stream flowing therethrough.

Magnetic and ultrasonic discriminator for particle size distribution

An apparatus and method for continuously separating and recovering an organic liquid such as a hydrocarbon solvent from immiscible water and/or other impurities mixed therewith. The apparatus and method comprise a system for treating liquids while continuously flowing therethrough, including in series a gravity separation step followed by a distillation separation step.
