Abstract

Size separation is a critical stage in mineral processing. Hydrocyclone is a device used in size separation for mineral processing industry, taking avantage of its separation capacity over a range of materials and low maintenance cost. However, many studies attempt to understand size separation phenomenon but none of them has taken an energy point of view. This paper presents the results for mechanical energy dissipation in 100 mm hydrocyclone in only water operation. Results show that operation variables – inlet pressure mainly- and geometrical considerations as diameter relation Du/Do control mechanical energy dissipation in hydrocyclone. That means mechanical energy dissipation influences separation efficiency.
