LI Ting,XIANG Xiao-dong,LIU Li,WANG Yan (College of Resources and Environment,Wuhan University of Science and Technology,Wuhan 430081,China)A new type of liquid-solid hydrocyclone is proposed,which can separate heavy and light particles at the same time. Experimental study revealed that at the flow of 25 m3 / h and the split ratio of 6%,this new type hydrocyclone can get maximal separation efficiency for the heavy particles;at the flow of 25m3 / h and the split ratio of 8%,it can get the highest separation efficiency for the light particles. Under the condition of the flow of 20m3/h~35m3/h,the distribution of static pressure,dynamic pressure and pressure drop within the hydrocyclone are simulated and analysed by the fluid software CFX. Results show that in the cylindrical section of the hydrocyclone,the dynamic pressure gradually decreased from top to bottom,while in the cone section,dynamic pressure gradually increased from top to bottom;in a certain range,in order to further improve the separation efficiency and reduce the pressure loss inside the hydrocyclone,it is necessary to avoid increasing entrance flow rate and appropriate to increase the split ratio.
