| Abstract: | Hydrocyclone feed, overflow and underflow diameters are established for optimum concentration of solid and maximum clarification of liquid using an 11.5 ± 0.5 per cent, by weight suspension of sub-sieve barium sulphate in water.
For a hydrocyclone with a nominal diameter (Dc) of 100 millimetres the dimensions for optimum concentration are:
Feed diameter (Di) = 0.082 inch (Dc/5)
Overflow diameter (Do) = 0.098 inch (Dc/4)
Underflow diameter (Du) = 0.037 inch (Dc/11)
Vortex finder outside
Diameter (VFOD) = 0.197 inch
and the dimensions for maximum clarification are:
Di = 0.055 inch (Dc/7)
Do = 0.079 inch (Dc/5)
Du = 0.058 inch (Dc/7)
VFOD = 0.197 inch
Brief observations are given on the air core and the effects of feed solid concentration and feed solid particle size. |
