Numerical simulation was used to study the effect of surface hydrophobic of fine particles on hydrocyclone separation. • Increasing the contact angle of the particles can effectively reduce drag force and greatly improve the separation efficiency.
Another parameter established for ascertaining the hydrocyclone separation efficiency is d p 90 in the overflow stream, i.e., the biggest particle size in the 90% volume fraction of the particles leaving the hydrocyclone in that stream. This parameter provides an indication of the overall quality of the overflow.

A Hydrocyclone can be modified to make a dry underflow while maintaining a high separation efficiency A Hydrocyclone uses an air core, which forms at the apex and extends up to the vortex finder. The formation of this air core is paramount to making a separation, and if it collapses, the separation efficiency dramatically drops.
Hydrocyclone is an energy-intensive process that requires liquid acceleration. But it is small in size and has high separation efficiency. Hydrocyclone can remove particles in the range of 5–15 μm, while cannot separate soluble pollutants. Removing hydrocarbons to an environmentally acceptable level (< 15 ppm) is possible.
The overall particle separation efficiency is defined as the mass percent of particles collected in the underflow. Fig. 11 shows a comparison of the overall particle separation efficiency among hydrocyclones with different vortex finder designs. Thickening the vortex finders increased the overall particle separation efficiency.
However, the influence of this radial migration on the separation efficiency of the hydrocyclone remains unclear.
