APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUS SEPARATION OF LIQUID COMPONENT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a separation apparatus compact, shorten the time required for separation of a liquid-solid mixture (a slurry liquid) in the separation apparatus, prevent deterioration and degradation of a catalyst in the case where the apparatus is used for the reaction system, suppress by-product producing reactions, and improve the reaction yield ratio by installing flow resistance objects in tilting flow lines in a multi-stage tilting precipitation apparatus. SOLUTION: In an apparatus to separate a liquid component continuously from a gas-liquid-solid mixture or a liquid-solid mixture, a mixture circulating flow path having a mixture introducing region and a mixture discharging region is formed, a flow path tilting at a prescribed angle to the circulating flow path is neighbored to the circulating flow path, proper flow resistance objects, e.g. throttles, are installed in the tilting flow path, and the flow of the liquid- solid mixture in the flow path is made to be a layered flow region, so that the solid is precipitated and the liquid component is separated.
