Because the collision between particles and the influence of particle volume fraction is ignored, this method is limited to a low solid concentration (particle volume fraction is less than 10%), and is mainly used to study the force analysis and motion trajectory of particles in hydrocyclones [9, 10].
Hydrocyclones are devices used in numerous chemicals, food, ... The numerical methods validated the ... various separation applications because of their inexpensive operating and maintenance
As is shown in Fig. 3, a hydrocyclone was used for the separation of SiO 2 and TiO 2. The hydrocyclone was studied as a micro-circulator with a diameter of 20 mm (Fig. 4), which adopts a single tangential inlet form. The main structural parameters of the hydrocyclone are shown in Table 2. The suspension stored in a feed tank was pumped into the ...
