Basic separating principle of hydrocyclones and the cyclic experimental research facilities are introduced. The difficulty of separating fine particle is described. Based on a solid-liquid hydrocyclone used for separating fine particles, effect of cyclic flow condition on hydrocyclone’s performance is studied. Effects of cyclic period ratio, cyclic flowrate amplitude ratio, Reynolds number, gas liquid ratio, and the cyclical signal type on the hydrocyclone’s fine particle separation performance, especially on relative overflow purifying rate were studied in detail. The results show that the separation efficiency of the hydrocyclone operated under cyclic flow condition can be higher than that in steady condition, when the cyclic period ratio is about 0.68 and the cyclic flowrate amplitude ratio is about 2%. Rectangular wave seems to be the best cyclic signal for enhancing the hydrocyclone’s separation efficiency. The cyclical change of flowrate leads to the increasing of hydrocyclone’s energy consumption to some extent, while the increasing amount is very less, which is no more than 3% in general.

This paper presents a numerical study to predict the particle separation performance of a dust-settling hopper using computational fluid dynamics. The Euler-Lagrange approach was employed to analyze the particle separation efficiency and the outflow particle concentration of the dust-settling hopper under different inlet airflow velocities. The calculation results obtained reveal that the overall particle separation efficiency and the outflow particle concentration decrease with the increase of the inlet airflow velocity, and the particle grade efficiency increases with particle size. Since there is a paradox between the particle separation performance and the particle removal performance for a street vacuum sweeper, it is necessary to counter-balance the effects of the inlet airflow velocity on them. According to the simulation analysis, an appropriate inlet airflow velocity is provided for the design of the dust-settling hopper.

In this work, a centrifugal classifier for separating lithium carbonate particles, used as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, was investigated. This work numerically evaluates the internal flow and particle separation performance of the centrifugal classifier. The complex turbulent flow field in the classifier is key to understanding particle motion. A Reynolds stress model, to describe air flow field, and a discrete phase model, to track particle motion, were applied to a numerical simulation. Design parameters such as mass flow rate and rotor speed were investigated, and a ring-shaped baffle, in particular, was designed to investigate the effects of flow and particle separation in the centrifugal classifier. The simple geometry of the baffle changes the movement direction of unseparated particles to the rotor cage region, and increases the local air velocity in the separation zone. The numerical analysis results were verified through a baffle experiment.
