This paper describes the use of a disc-stack nozzle centrifuge for wet classification of ultra-fine particles of calcium carbonate. The influences of G-force and disc geometry on the performance of the ultra-fine classification have been investigated. The results have demonstrated that the efficiency of the classification can be increased by (1) applying a relatively moderate G-force and (2) the use of stud spacer discs in the centrifuge. The increased extraction of the fine particles is related to the formation of the appropriate fluid velocity profile at a lower G-force and a circumferential motion without meridional barriers for the case of the stud spacer discs.
