In both hydrocyclones the axial velocity is a function of the radial position but, while it is a linear function of the vertical coordinate in the cylindrical hydrocyclone, this is not the case for the conical vessel. Figures 5.7 and 5.8 show results for the tangential velocity in cylindro-conical and flat-bottom hydrocyclones.

In the mining industry, hydrocyclones are mineral processing equipment used in slurry pulps to separate coarse and fine particles according to their size and density.

Hydrocyclones. Hydrocyclones are preferred units for sizing or desliming large slurry volumes cheaply and because they occupy very little floor space or headroom. They operate most effectively when fed at an even flow rate and pulp density and are used individually or in clusters to obtain desired total capacities at required splits.

It is common to call "design" the election of the sizes of the parts of hydrocyclones chosen from those provided by the manufacturers. It is really a geometric selection for which empirical formulas exist (see Chap. 9).In this chapter we will develop a design for hydrocyclones as a mixed-flow turbo machine including different inlet, vortex …

Hydrocyclones with a flat-bottom structure reduces the misplaced fine particles due to the effect of the internal swirling flow and the axial circulation flow in the spigot. The MS type has the lowest imperfection value and the cut size of 76.5 μm implying a sharpness separation sharpness and an appropriate separation result. CC type has the ...

Oleg and Bergström (2005) reported a shift of pulp and paper mills from relying on screens alone to utilizing the combination of screens and hydrocyclones for improving pulp quality. Softwood bleached chemithermomechanical pulp fibre was fractionated using a cylindrical hydrocyclone (Xiaojiang and Shijie 2006; Karjalainen, …

Hydrocyclones are used in the pulp and paper industry to eliminate undesirable particles as well as for fiber fractionation. In this paper, the flow field and fractionation characteristics of two ...

A 5″ x 4″ SRL-C Pump delivers a minus 1/8″ screen undersize and rod mill discharge at a rate of 288 g.p.m. of 20% solids pulp (270 T/24hr.) to a cyclone requiring inlet pressures to 44 p.s.i. with a vertical lift of 54 feet. The total dynamic head pumped varies from 100 to 150 feet, with 110 feet being the normal operation.

Prior to every experimental run, the pulp with the desired concentration of solids was prepared. For example, a volume of 500 L of pulp with a solid concentration of 75 g L −1 required 484 L of water and 37.5 kg of solids. Thus, the water was poured into the stirred tank, TK-1, the stirrer was started and the amount of solids was then added.

Screening of pulp in an old pulp mill is relatively expensive as the brown stock pulp has a high content of impurities such as knots, shives, sand, and other …

The vast majority of current research on hydrocyclone field centrifugal separation focuses on low concentration fluids having volume fraction less than 3%. For high-concentration fluids having volume fractions greater than 10%, which are often encountered in engineering, the law governing particle motion and the classification …

In the 1930s, hydrocyclones also started to be installed in the pulp and paper industry. Here, they were used for the removal of sand and other heavy contaminants from pulp streams (Bergès 1935; Freeman and Skelton 1939; Bradley 1965). Numerous installations were made, and in the late 1940s hydrocyclones were widely used in the pulp and paper
