Improving hydrocyclone efficiency by changing geometric parameters

Abstract

Hydrocyclone is a very simple and cost-effective way to separate inhomogeneous fluid-solid mixtures. It is important to ensure adequate separation efficiency during their operation. Many researchers have worked to identify the factors that influence separation. Geometry has been identified as one of the most important influencing factors. This article summarises the results of this research in order to provide a comprehensive picture of the importance and impact of each geometric element.
