A cyclone cluster is required to classify a slurry feed of 29wt% solids (SGp = 2.9) at a solids flowrate of 410 tonnes per hour.
a. Determine the diameter of the cyclones required to operate at a d50 of 70 micrometres. The cyclones are to be operated at a pressure drop of 150 kPa. The SG of the liquid phase water = 1.0.
b. Determine the number of cyclones that are required if the capacity of the cyclone found in question (a) is 75 litres/second.
