In separation processes, the knowledge of particle size and density are often not enough to describe the settling behaviour in a concentrated suspension. Therefore, a direct method for the characterization of the settling behavior of submicron particles in concentrated suspensions is introduced in a centrifugal field by a manometric sedimentation analysis. By means of this cumulative method in a homogeneous suspension, the analyses of both the interfacial settling rate and the settling rate of the particles within the concentrated suspension are possible. This permits a differential examination of settling processes in a broad concentration range, First, the influence of the solid concentration on the settling rate at the interface and within a monodisperse suspension with a range from 0.01 to 30 vol.% is represented. The relationship between the increase in settling rate through particles settling in a cluster and a concentration decrease in the suspension is also represented. Consideration of the possibilities of the analysis of polydisperse suspensions demonstrates the field of applications for this method.
