Principe de la méthode [par lévigation] : éliminer progressivement les fractions fines par un courant ascendant. Plusieurs appareils sont basés sur ce principe. [...] Avec les méthodes par lévigation, la séparation se fait très vite pour les particules grossières; elle est, au contraire très longue pour les particules plus fines. On peut abréger la durée de l'opération, en employant plusieurs tubes en série de plus en plus larges et de plus en plus courts. 1, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20par%20l%C3%A9vigation
