A mini-hydrocyclone (MHC) is known for its higher separation efficiency, particularly for fine
or ultra-fine particles. However, the exact mechanism for enhancing the separation efficiency …

Hydrocyclones utilize centrifugal sedimentation to separate dispersed phases from a
continuous liquid phase, offering advantages such as the absence of moving parts, ease of …

Microplastics, particularly those in the 5–20 µm range, pose substantial risks in aquatic
environments, yet effective removal techniques are limited. This study assesses two critical …

This paper presents a cost-effective method to optimize hydrocyclones used for particle
separation. It integrates a mechanistic model for data generation with data-driven models for …

A mini-hydrocyclone was designed to remove microplastics from water through air flotation.
The hydrocyclone geometry parameters were optimized through the combination of the …

Microplastics have been identified as a potentially emerging threat to water environment and
human health. Therefore, there is a pressing demand for effective strategies to remove …

Mini-hydrocyclones have been increasingly used as retention devices to separate
mammalian cells in the continuous cell culture. However, the cell viability loss after running …

Continuous online ultra-clean separation of micro-particle contaminants is vital for lubricant
oil. Although hydrocyclone is widely used to separate fine particles, it often suffers from short …

Microplastics have been widely detected in natural and engineered water systems and
removing microplastics from various water matrices has become a major challenge. Mini …

Optimizing hydrocyclone inlet design is regarded as an effective strategy to mitigate the
adverse effect of particle misplacement and improves separation efficiency. This work …
