ABSTRACT
Cyclones are gas - dust separators widely used in industry. Their efficiency depends on the
geometrical design variables and operating conditions. In this paper a cyclone separator was
designed for small lab scale, from a road cone; inexpensive and investment for the separation of
particles with diameters larger than 5um. Following design models by the Law of Stokes diameters
for tubes (2 inches) and download (3 inches) which consisted mainly of PVC tubes were calculated.
3 consecutive experiments 3 replicates each of different powders ( sand, biological mud and crushed
stone ) to separate air were conducted , and it was found that the best efficiency was grit , with a
feed of 331 g and loss only about 25 g.
