A hydrocyclone is a device utilized in various industries to separate particles of different densities and sizes within a slurry. It functions by utilizing centrifugal force to create a vortex, which causes the heavier particles to move towards the outer edge of the cone-shaped chamber, while the lighter particles are carried upwards towards the center. This allows for efficient separation and classification of materials based on their density and size.
