As it was mentioned, the majority of models describing hydrocyclones work is based on such values as cut point d 50, partition sharpness s and, eventually, flowrate. Svarovsky and Svarovsky [31] made the division of theory and models of hydrocyclones work into seven groups: simple fundamental theories;

Hydrocyclones have been increasingly used in food processing, such as starch refining, fruit juice and oil purification, and wastewater treatment from food processing [84]. Generally, the size of hydrocyclone used in food processing is larger than that used in the biotechnology sector, partly due to the higher processing volume and relatively ...

Hydrocyclones featuring two or three cones have been designed and put into use [[21], [22], [23]]. Yang et al.

They found that increasing the upper cone angle could decrease the flow split ratio and that decreasing the ...
86543. The hydrocyclone is a simple piece of equipment that uses fluid pressure to generate centrifugal force and a flow pattern which can separate particles or droplets from a liquid medium. These particles or droplets must have a sufficiently different density relative to the medium in order to achieve separation.

centrifugal clarification, a process that runs in hydrocyclones and sedimentation centrifuges. Centrifugal clarification is highly effective as it speeds up the sedimentation of impurities by a factor of 3 to 30 [2]. Hydrocyclones are different from centrifuges or centrifugal separators in the sense that they lack moving or rotary parts.
In hydrocyclones, the phenomenon of roping has been attributed either to elevated levels of feed solid concentration or to relatively coarser size particles in the feed resulting in high underflow ...

The "entrainment of coarse particles in overflow" and the "entrainment of fine particles in underflow" are two inevitable phenomena in the hydrocyclone separation process, which can result in a wide product size distribution that does not meet the requirement of a precise classification. Hence, this study proposed a two-stage (TS) …
Industrial use of hydrocyclones. Many industries have effluents or unit operations that need some kind of solid-liquid separation.
