Abstract
Due to the high speed of rotation of the centrifugal separator cone, it is possible to separate particles of small sizes. In its turn, the high speed of rotation of the centrifugal separator cone leads to clogging of the grooves of the separator cone with solid particles. The increased pressure of the turbulizing agent contributes to the loosening of solid particles in the grooves of the centrifugal separator cone, but can wash out particles with increased density from the grooves. Also, the loss of a valuable component is associated with the fact that particles of a valuable component located on the surface of the near-wall layer do not have time to get into the grooves in one cycle and are washed out of the separator cone together with the light fraction. In this regard, there is a need to study the increase in centrifugal separation using it in the circulating concentration scheme. Experiments were carried out in laboratory conditions on an artificial mixture of tungsten and quartz. The results of the experiments show an increase in enrichment rates.
