Separation of solids from liquids by using a centrifugal force Features - solid separation with a hydrocyclone - optimum observation of processes through transparent materials - practical experiments on a laboratory scale Learning objectives/experiments - fundamental principle and the method of operation of a hydrocyclone - solid mass flow rate in feed, overflow and underflow - liquid mass flow rate in feed, overflow and underflow - characteristic values for sharpness of separation - pressure loss at the cyclone dependent on the feed flow rate - influence of solids density on characteristic values and pressure loss Specification [1] solid separation from liquids with a hydrocyclone [2] hydrocyclone with tangential inlet [3] stirred tank for preparation of suspensions [4] centrifugal pump to deliver the suspension [5] adjustment of flow rate by valve in bypass [6] electromagnetic flow meter at inlet [7] sampling points on the overflow and underflow to determine the flow rates and solid concentrations [8] manometer to determine the pressure loss at the cyclone
