Abstract
particles using the novel 3D-printed hydrocyclone and conventional hydrocyclone. The results demonstrate that the classification performance of the 3D-printed hydrocyclone was superior to that of the conventional one, in particular, the removal efficiency of fine particles from 0.719 to 0.930 using a 10 wt % feed slurry.
