Abstract
The double vortex-finder hydrocyclone formed by a coaxial insertion of an internal vortex-finder with a smaller diameter inside the conventional single vortex-finder used to obtain two kinds of products from the internal and external overflows in one classification has attracted wide attention. To further improve the classification performance of the hydrocyclone, the effects of the internal vortex-finder diameter and length on the classification performance were studied by numerical simulation and response surface modeling with the behavior of fluid and particle motion in the double vortex-finder hydrocyclone as the research object. The results showed that the split ratio and pressure drop of internal and external overflow increased with the diameter of the internal vortex-finder. The classification performance was optimal when the diameter ratio of internal and external overflow was 0.88, the yield of −20 μm particles was more than 80.0%, and the highest was 95.0%. Increasing the internal vortex-finder length could reduce the coarse particle content and improve the classification accuracy of the internal overflow product. When the length of the internal vortex-finder is larger than 80 mm, the +30 μm yield was lower than 20.0%, and the maximum k value was 16.3%; the k is the significant factor used to characterize the effectiveness of −20 μm particle collection. The response surface modeling revealed that the internal vortex-finder diameter was the most important factor affecting the distribution rate of internal overflow. This paper is expected to advance the development of the classification industry.
