Abstract
Conventional (two-product) hydrocyclones have a wide range of applications in most of the mineral plants. The design of various hydrocyclones differs depending on the application but the most common one is the cylindrical-conical shape with variations in its cylindrical length and cone angle. In this paper, the design and operation of a three-product hydrocyclone which generates two-underflows and one-overflow is described. This type of the three-product hydrocyclone was tested successfully in the solid–liquid separation processes. The influence of opening diameters; overflow diameter ( d o), middling flow diameter ( d m), and underflow diameter ( d u) on the solid and water recovery in the three products was also investigated and general prediction equations were estimated. Some potential applications of the new type three-product hydrocyclone were studied.
