2.4. A continuous gravity decanter is to separate chlorobenzene, with a density of 1109 kg/m, from an aqueous wash liquid having a density of 1020 kg/m. If the total depth in the separator is 1 m and the interface is to be 0.6 m from the vessel floor, (a) what should the height of the heavy-liquid overflow leg be; (b) how much would an error of 50 mm in this heisht affect the position of the interface? 2.4.
