Laboratory Exercise Efficiency of Hydrocyclone Separations

Diagram of radial (spider) arrangement of hydrocyclones for industrial scale. 

An instrumental particle size analyzer, such as a laser diffraction or electro sensing zone counter, will be appropriate options for measuring particle size distributions. A rotational viscometer will be used to measure apparent viscosity if the suspension results are non-Newtonian. 

Filtration may be defined as the unit operation in which the insoluble solid component of a solid-liquid suspension is separated from the liquid
