Development of Methodologies for Performance Assessment and Control of Hydrocyclones

Motivations & Objectives

The hydrocyclones are crucial equipment in the mineral processing industry, primarily because of their exclusive capabilities of carrying out micrometer scale size separation of particles at high process throughputs.  Numerous attempts were made in the past to model the separation process and the overall performance of the hydrocyclones, however most of them were either empirically developed models to predict the ambiguous performance parameters derived from the partition curves like ‘d50’, ‘d50c’ and ‘ep’, or they were fundamental models phenomenologically modelling the nature and the observed shape of the partition curve itself. Numerous CFD modelling studies have also been carried out but these models are computationally highly expensive and thus are not fit for rapid performance predictions. Thus, the development of predictive models for predicting the complete partition curve incorporating its observed peculiarities and providing a robust method of performance assessment, appear to be still pending. Moreover, the phenomenon of roping as a discharge regime has been associated with deleterious effects on separation performance and its onset is undesirable in classification applications. Numerous works have been conducted in the past concerning the characteristics of the transition from spray to rope discharge, and the online detection of the commencement of roping conditions during hydrocyclone operation. However, technical delineation and online detection of an intermediate discharge type called the transition state which precedes roping, and the fundamentals of post roping regime including the reverse transition from rope to spray discharge, have not been studied in detail. With the above in mind, the objectives formulated for this study are as follows –

• To develop a generalized performance assessment methodology and predicting the complete partition curves associated with hydrocyclone processes. 

• To study and model the shift in operating discharge regimes as an effect of limits put by the solid handling capacity and other relevant aspects of the hydrocyclones.

• The delineation and identification of the characteristics of the transition discharge state in hydrocyclones and development of methods of online discharge state classification capable of transition state detection.
