Abstract
The influence of the angle of hydrocyclone inclination on its cut size was studied in a specially designed laboratory rig equipped with a 75 mm Krebs cyclone. It was found that by increasing the angle of inclination of the cyclone, the cut size increases, particularly for angles above 45°. For low percent solids (10%), the effect of inclination was not significant. The relative increase in cut size for an angle of 90° and a percent solid of 30% was found to be 24.5%. An increase of 10% in percent solids increased the cut size by 31%. Based on 38 experiments, an empirical model similar to the one proposed by Asmoah and Napier-Munn to predict the cut size was tested.
