Experimental Study of the Hydrocyclone H11 with Rotational Feed
Abstract:
Hydrocyclones are separators that are widely used in industry that belong to an important group of equipments designed to solid-liquid or liquid-liquid separation. The employment of hydrocyclones is generally restricted to an equipment need with a high classifying power (based on the size of particles collected in the underflow) or with a high concentrating capacity. The separation occurs by density difference or particle size distribution of the dispersed phase. In order to maximize the separation efficiency of these devices, the aim of this work was to study experimentally the consequences of an unusual feed in the behavior of a hydrocyclone. Therefore, tests were carried out with aqueous suspensions of phosphate rock at a fixed level of pressure drop equal to 1.47 bar, using the optimized geometry hydrocyclone H11. The influence of the so called rotating feed inlet for the H11 was evaluated in clockwise and anticlockwise. Experimental studies have suggested that the rotation of the fluid in the feed inlet of hydrocyclone did not change significantly the underflow-to-throughput ratio (RL), although it has caused changes in the energy cost and in the performance of the separator.
