Record 1 2016-02-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

The treatment must include settling before pumping, either in appropriately designed scale pits or in circular grit traps which are wrongly named "hydrocyclones".

Key term(s)
  • hydrocyclone

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

Le traitement doit prévoir une décantation préalable avant le pompage, dans des fosses à battitures judicieusement aménagées ou dans des dessableurs circulaires improprement nommés hydrocyclones.

Subject field(s)
  • Tools and Equipment (Mechanics)
  • Equipment and Tools (Water Supply)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
DEF

A desander [which is] operated ... by a fast-moving stream of fluid inside a special cone-shaped vessel ...

CONT

Hydrocyclones are used for sewage sludge degritting in applications requiring high efficiency and a high degree of grit removal. ... [In] the hydrocyclone ... the feed is introduced tangentially to a cylindrical feed section, and the liquid slurry develops a rotational movement and passes into a conical section. The centrifugal force created by the cyclonic movement of the liquid forces the heavier solid particles to the outer wall.

OBS

The terms "cyclone separator", "cyclone collector" and "cyclone" are often used as synonyms of "hydrocyclone". They are however generic with respect to "hydrocyclone" because whereas in hydrocyclones the solids are separated from a liquid, in the others the solids are separated from either a liquid or air mixture.

DEF

Séparateur de dessablage alimenté tangentiellement à une certaine pression, et dont le corps est incliné de telle sorte que le sable est évacué à l'aval et l'eau sale à l'amont.

DEF

A cyclone separator in which granular solids are removed from a stream of water and classified by centrifugal force.

OBS

The hydro-cyclone is commonly referred to as a cyclone.

Cyclone destiné à la séparation des suspensions aqueuses ou liquides.

OBS

Quand il travaille en milieu aqueux, un cyclone est souvent appelé hydrocyclone.

Record 4 2006-05-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Processing of Mineral Products
  • Mineral Processing (Metallurgy)
  • Coal Preparation
DEF

A device for classification by centrifugal means of fine particles suspended in water, whereby the coarser grains collect at and are discharged from the apex of the vessel, while the finer particles are eliminated with the bulk of the water at the discharge orifice.

OBS

cyclone classifier: term standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Préparation des produits miniers
  • Minéralurgie (Métallurgie)
  • Préparation des charbons
DEF

Dispositif pour calibrer, par voie centrifuge, des particules fines en suspension dans de l'eau. Dans ce cas, les grains plus gros sont évacués à la pointe du cône du récipient, tandis que les particules plus fines sont éliminées, avec la plus grande partie de l'eau, par le trop-plein.

OBS

hydrocyclone classificateur : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

Record 5 2006-05-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Processing of Mineral Products
  • Mineral Processing (Metallurgy)
  • Coal Preparation
CONT

cyclone washer. Cyclone washing of small coal originates from the Netherlands. Clean separation is effected with the aid of centrifugal force. The heavier shale particles move to the wall of the cyclone and are eventually discharged at the bottom while the lighter coal particles are swept towards the central vortex and are discharged through an outlet at the top. The washer may be used for cleaning coal up to three-fourths of an inch. The coal is normally de-slimed at about 0.5 millimeter before cleaning. The separating medium is water and ground magnetite, the bulk of which is recovered and returned to the circuit.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Préparation des produits miniers
  • Minéralurgie (Métallurgie)
  • Préparation des charbons
CONT

Les hydrocyclones laveurs (déduits des classificateurs) ont été tout d'abord étudiés dans les mines de charbon hollandaises [...]. On y injecte des particules de schiste et de charbon avec de l'eau. Par la pointe sortent les particules grosses et denses (schiste dominant), par le haut les particules légères et fines (charbon dominant). Si le cyclone est alimenté par un médium lourd (barytine, magnétite), il travaille à la fois en laveur et épaississeur.

Record 6 2003-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Papermaking Machines
DEF

A pulp stock cleaner in which pressurized slurry is tangentially injected into a truncated, cone-shaped vessel to produce a rapid spinning action of the suspension, causing a centrifugal force that moves the heavier particles to the outside wall where they drop down to the bottom and are removed. The inner vortex column with the acceptable fiber moves to the top where it is removed for further processing.

Subject field(s)
  • Waste Management
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

When this [silt/sand] ratio is high, hydrocyclone separation is not appropriate and all the sediment must be dewatered or decontaminated.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion des déchets
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

Lorsque ce rapport [limon/sable] est élevé, l'hydrocyclonage n'est pas approprié et la totalité des sédiments est déshydratée ou décontaminée.

  • Mining Equipment and Tools
DEF

A separator consisting of two concentric right-vertical tubes, a conventional cyclone header at the top, and a froth pedestal at the bottom.

OBS

The inner tube is a porous-wall tube. The slurry is fed tangentially through the jacketed, inner porous tube wall and is sheared into small bubbles by the swirl flow. Hydrophobic coal particles in the slurry attach to the air bubbles and report as overflow product. The hydrophilic refuse particles remain wetted and report as underflow product.
