Pengaruh Debit Aliran Terhadap Kinerja Pemisahan Limbah Microplastik Tersuspensi Menggunakan Hydrocyclone Dual Inlet Port
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated the effect of varying flow rates on the separation performance of a dual-inlet hydrocyclone for removing suspended microplastic waste from water, measuring separation efficiency and microplastic classification outcomes across multiple flow rate conditions to optimize centrifugal separation as a practical treatment technology for microplastic-contaminated water.
The increasing concern regarding microplastic contamination in aquatic environments necessitates effective separation technologies. This study investigates the impact of flow rate on the performance of a dual-inlet hydrocyclone in separating dissolved microplastic waste. The hydrocyclone, known for its centrifugal separation capabilities, is adapted with dual inlets to enhance separation efficiency. Various flow rates were tested to determine their effect on separation performance, focusing on separation efficiency and the classification of successfully separated microplastics. Experimental results indicate that flow rate significantly influences the separation efficiency of the hydrocyclone. Higher input flow rates result in increased pressure drops, with pressure losses ranging from 98-99.59%. The output flow rates at both outlets (O1 and O2) increase proportionally with the input flow rate. The highest microplastic separation occurred at an input flow rate of 70 ml/sec, where the clean side output (O1) had a density of 1.03% with an average particle size of 98 µm. At an input flow rate of 80 ml/sec, the clean side output had a density of 1.28% with an average particle size of 51 µm. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing hydrocyclone design for environmental applications, particularly in reducing microplastic pollution

The Standard and Reverse Mode Operation of a Hydrocyclone for Microplastic Separation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tested whether hydrocyclones — low-cost centrifugal separation devices — could efficiently separate microplastics from water, finding that particles denser than water were captured in standard mode while lighter particles required reverse mode operation. The system effectively separated all four test microplastic types based on density, suggesting hydrocyclones are a scalable, low-energy option for removing microplastics from industrial and municipal water streams.

AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analysed microplastic migration and separation in a dual-cone mini-hydrocyclone using a numerically verified model, examining how feed flow rate, MP volume fraction, and particle density affect separation efficiency. They found that separation efficiency improved with higher flow rates (reaching 78.56% at 10 m/s for 50 micrometre MPs) but decreased at higher MP volume fractions due to particle collisions, while MPs with densities below water achieved near-complete separation of 98.51%.

Researchers developed an improved mini-hydrocyclone device that removes over 98% of microplastics from water, a 34% improvement over conventional designs. The device uses tiny overflow channels to prevent small plastic particles from escaping during the separation process.
