what is cyclone separation ?

Answer 1

Centrifugal separation, often used to separate dust or droplets from air in the output of something like a sander or vacuum cleaner. The mixed stream is forced through a conical or cylindrical chamber to travel a vortex-like route from the source to the exhaust port, and denser materials collect near the outside of the chamber. These are generally considered "primary" air cleaners since the smaller particles tend to settle out too slowly to be separated from the stream. See the ref. for an example.

Answer 2

A cyclone is a unit operating that is used to separate particles from the fluid (gas or liquid). The driving force is centrifugal.

The slurry mixture to be cleaned is sent into the separator so that the mixture moves in a circular pattern around the separator. Centrifugal force created by this spinning stream forces heavier particles to the outer edges, while lighter particles remain in the carrier material. The heavier particles are removed from the separator via the lower opening. Lighter particles along with the carrier medium exit through the vortex finder located at the top of the separator. Cyclones are very popular because there are no moving parts that can wear out or break. With no moving parts involved and mainly consisting of a drum with a funnel on the bottom and inlet and exit ports, a cyclone separator is fairly simple to build and inexpensive.

Answer 3

Cyclone Separation
Simple devices with no moving parts, cyclone separators use centrifugal forces generated by a rapidly spinning gas to separate solids from air.

Dirty air entering the cyclone is forced into a spiral motion where the centrifugal forces push the particulates to the outer walls of the device where they can be collected and discharged.

Cyclones can be used as precleaners ahead of baghouses and can be designed to handle a wider range of chemical and physical conditions than almost any other type of collection equipment.

However, they are less effective for particulates smaller than 5 micrometers and have to be designed specifically for the flow volume intended (or suffer a loss in efficiency).

Answer 4

THIS IS NOT A CHEMISTRY QUESTION. IT IS ENVIORMENT SCIENCE. CYCLONE SEPARATORS ARE USED FOR SEPARATING DUST, WHILE CYCLONIC STORM, ON LAND.
