- the hydrocyclone plants are arranged in multiple steps, such as four or five steps. This means that the lighter fraction from one step except from the first step is returned to the inlet of a preceding step and that the heavier fraction from one step is introduced into the inlet of a following step.
- the secondary steps do not improve the total separating efiect of the plant. They serve in the first place to reduce the fibre losses. For this reason the heavier fractions are pumped to a following step after dilution. Thus, diluting liquid and energy are supplied in order to reduce the fibre losses and to make the plant more effective.
- Said multiple step hydrocyclones are very complicated as each step requires a pump and extensive pipe lines, motors, controlling means and so on.

- the liquid, such as water may be supplied immediately after the choking members seen in the direction towards the outlet for the heavier fraction.
- the apertures of the choking members may have a different size so that the choking member situated nearest to the inlet for the suspension has a larger aperture than that of the following choking member.
- the pressure of the liquid introduced between the choking members is preferably lower than that of the suspension supplied, and is preferably 0.1 to 3.4 kg./cm. lower, such as 0.5 to 2.0 kg./cm. lower.

No. 812,071 Claims priority, application Sweden May 8, 1958 6 Claims. (Cl. 209--211) The present inventionrelates to a method of separating or fractionating fibrous suspensions, preferably suspensions of cellulose or wood pulp in hydrocyclones and to an apparatus for carrying out said method. Hydrocyclones are, as known, such devices which consist of a chamber having a circular cross section and at least one inlet and at least two outlets of which at least one is axially arranged. Said hydrocyclones are provided with means for imparting to the suspension introduced a rotary motion around the axis of the chamber and the chamber is shaped in such a way that a substantial part of the pressure energy supplied is transformed into rotary energy. A preferred embodiment of such a hydrocyclone comprises a conical chamber into which the suspension is introduced tangentially in the wider portion of the chamber whereby vertical movements arise causing the heavier or dynamically heavier particles (the coarser fraction) to leave the chamber through the apex. The lighter particles (the finer fraction) leave the chamber through a central outlet, the so-called overflow pipe.
In the cellulose and wood pulp industry the hydrocyclone plants are arranged in multiple steps, such as four or five steps. This means that the lighter fraction from one step except from the first step is returned to the inlet of a preceding step and that the heavier fraction from one step is introduced into the inlet of a following step. Generally, the secondary steps do not improve the total separating efiect of the plant. They serve in the first place to reduce the fibre losses. For this reason the heavier fractions are pumped to a following step after dilution. Thus, diluting liquid and energy are supplied in order to reduce the fibre losses and to make the plant more effective.
Said multiple step hydrocyclones are very complicated as each step requires a pump and extensive pipe lines, motors, controlling means and so on. The pumps in the secondary steps are worn very much as in general the concentration of wearing particles increases for each step. Thus, a lot may be gained if the number of steps can be reduced.
The present invention relates to a method by which the above mentioned inconveniences may be removed and by which a better fibre fractionation or separation may be obtained.
Accordingly, the present invention broadly consists in causing the fibrous suspension to pass through two or more choking members on its Way towards the outlet for the heavier fraction and in supplying liquid at a pressure of 0.5 to 3.0 atmosphere gauge between the choking in such a way that a cyclone action arises. The choking members are preferably made of an elastic material such as rubber. In this case the choking members may be expanded temporarily in order to prevent clogging. The liquid introduced may be given a rotary motion in the same direction as that of the suspension but may in some cases be given a direction opposite to that of the suspension. The liquid, such as water, may be supplied immediately after the choking members seen in the direction towards the outlet for the heavier fraction. The apertures of the choking members may have a different size so that the choking member situated nearest to the inlet for the suspension has a larger aperture than that of the following choking member.
The pressure of the liquid introduced between the choking members is preferably lower than that of the suspension supplied, and is preferably 0.1 to 3.4 kg./cm. lower, such as 0.5 to 2.0 kg./cm. lower. The liquid is supplied in general in a quantity of less than 50% of the suspension primarily supplied and preferably less than 20%.
The invention relates also to an apparatus for carrying out the above described method and said apparatus comprises a hydrocyclone which at the outlet for the heavier fraction is provided with a housing divided into at least two chambers which are separated by choking members and each chamber being provide with a tangential inlet for liquid.
The invention is more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which FIG. 1 shows a longitudional section of a hydrocyclone,
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section on a larger scale through the apex portion of the hydrocyclone,
FIG. 3 is a section along the line IIIIII of FIG 2,
FIG. 4 shows diagrammatically a conventional hydrocyclone plant, and
FIG. 5 is a hydrocyclone plant according to the present invention.
The hydrocyclone according to FIG. 1 comprises a lid 1 having an outlet 2, the so-called overflow pipe, for the finer fraction, and inlet 3 for the suspension to be treated and a conical portion 5 having an outlet for the coarser fraction. The apex of the conical portion 5 is provided with a housing 6, more specifically shown in FIG. 2. The housing 6 consists of a cylindrical casing in which another cylindrical casing 7 is situated. The casing 7 is divided into three chambers 9, 10 and 11 by means of choking members 8, and is kept at a distance from the inner wall of the outer casing by means of spacing elements 12. Liquid may be supplied to the space between said casings by a tubular extension '13 of soft rubber having a central aperture. In the wall of the casing 7 there are provided aperatures '14 tangentially connected to the inner wall of the casing 7 in the neighborhood of the choking members 8. The height of the chambers 9, 10 and 11 shall be larger than the diameter of the chambers.
The suspension to be treated is introduced under pressure by means of the inlet 3 into the wider portion of the cyclone and is imparted a cyclone movement towards the apex of the cyclone. The coarser particles move downwards along the periphery towards the apex and the finer ascend in the vortex formed in the interior of the cyclone and leave through the overflow pipe 2. The coarser particles pass into the chamber 9 and will there meet water supplied by the tubular extension 13- whereby a further separation of the coarser particles takes place due to the arising cyclone action. In the same manner a repeated fractionation occurs in the chambers 10 and 11. In this way a further part of the finer fraction separated in the conical portion of the cyclone, which fraction has been further treated in the chambers 9, 10, 11, is returned to the outlet 2 thus reducing the fibre losses.
In FIG. 4 is shown a conventional hydrocyclone plant which comprises three groups of hydrocyclones 21, 22 and 23. The suspension to be treated is introduced through a pipe 24 into the cyclone 21. The resulting finer fraction is discharged through a pipe 25 and the coarser fraction through a pipe 26 and is introduced into the cyclone 22. Therefrom the finer fraction is pumped through the pipe 24 to the cyclone 21. The coarser fraction leaving the cyclone 22 is fed to the cyclone 23 through the pipe 27 and the finer fraction obtained in cyclone 23 is introduced into the cyclone 22 through a pipe 28. 'The coarser fraction leaving the cyclone 23 is discharged through a pipe 29.
The plant shown in FIG. 5 which is carried out according to the present invention, is with regard to the capacity 'is fed from a vessel 33 via a pump 34 and a pipe 35 to the cyclones 31 and the finer fraction leaves through a pipe 36. The coarser fraction is fed to a vessel 37 and is introduced via a pump 38 into the hydrocyclones 32 made in accordance with the present invention, i.e. they are provided with a housing 39 containing three chambers connected to the apices of the cyclones. The finer fraction obtained is returned to the vessel 33 through a pipe 40. Water is introduced into the housing 39 through a pipe 41. I,
In certain cases the hydrocyclones according to the invention may have an inferior separating capacity than conventional cyclones. In such cases excellent results are obtained if conventional hydrocyclones are used in the first step and the coarser fraction from said step is introducted into a second step using hydrocyclones in accordance with the present invention as disclosed in FIG. 5.
