Abstract

The sepn. properties of large-cone-angle hydrocyclones of 2 different sizes were detd. at different cyclone configurations and input variables. Expts. were carried out with a mixt. of sand and a low fraction of magnetite of almost equal free-fall velocities. Also residence time distributions of magnetite were detd. For each vol. flow of solids through the cyclone there will be a specific apex opening at which a max. sepn. efficiency was reached. If a high sepn. efficiency is wanted at a high throughput of solids and a low energy consumption, the cyclone should operate with a high vortex finder bottom clearance. [on SciFinder (R)]
