Elutriation Methods and Classification

In gravity elutriation the particles are classified in a column, by a rising fluid flow. In centrifugal elutriation the fluid moves inwards against the centrifugal force. A cyclone is a centrifugal elutriator, though not usually so regarded. The cyclosizer is a series of inverted cyclones with added apex chambers through which water flows. Suspension is fed into the largest cyclone and particles are separated into different size ranges.
