Abstract
A device for abstracting the liquid phase from a suspension comprises a microporous membrane (23) applied on the outside of a microporous body (22) to which a flat capillary duct (11, 18) is fixed. Means (9) are provided to rotate the duct about a vertical axis, with the membrane being immersed in the suspension in such a manner as to provide tangential filtering of the suspension and to cause the liquid phase filling the duct after passing through the membrane and the porous body to be ejected centrifugally and received by a receptacle (5) provided for the purpose.
