Theoretical investigation of the process of cleaning oil-polluted soil in hydrocyclone apparatuses

On the basis of the Reynolds equations, a numerical investigation of the flow and separation of oil-polluted soil particles in a hydrocyclone has been conducted. It has been shown that as a result of the hydrocycloning it is possible to concentrate the pollutant in a negligible quantity of soil (of...

Description
Summary:On the basis of the Reynolds equations, a numerical investigation of the flow and separation of oil-polluted soil particles in a hydrocyclone has been conducted. It has been shown that as a result of the hydrocycloning it is possible to concentrate the pollutant in a negligible quantity of soil (of the order of a few percent), which permits reducing its cleaning costs.
