Use of regression model of two-step flotation in a hydrocyclone for analysis of effects of design and regime parameters on separation efficiency

An algorithm for a calculation of indices at separation of suspensions with non-Newtonian properties, two-step flotation in hydrocyclone with application of a regression model was developed. An analysis of an influence of governing similarity criteria that describe the suspension separation by two-step flotation in the hydrocyclone and of rheological constants of a separated media on a distribution of a recovery efficiency of solid particles from a suspension over an operation height of a hydrocyclone was carries out.
