Performance evaluation of hydrocyclone filter

the final efficiencies are almost the same irrespective of the concentration of soil suspension. The particle size distribution of underflow material for different concentrations of soil suspension indicates a measure of separation efficiency of the filter. It was found that the percentage finer to coarser particles is almost the same for all the concentrations but for lower concentrations, fine particles have higher percentage of finer. This may indicate the efficient separation of fine particles in the case of lower . concentrations of soil suspensions. For the soil suspension of 300, 600, 900 and 1200mg/1 the percentage of particles finer than 0.075111111 are 0.86, 0.58, 1.96 and 4.05% respectively. The higher value of concentration for 300mg/1 indicates the better separation of finer particles.
