Advanced Hydrocyclone Technology for Liquid-Solid Separation comprehensively and systematically provides the basic theory, experimental research, test analysis, simulation calculations, and engineering applications, reflecting the current trends and characteristics in this field. The book offers a new detection method for the liquid-solid hydrocyclone separation process, launches a liquid-solid micro-hydorcyclone parallel amplification engineering design model, as well as a new technology for enhanced liquid-solid hydrocyclone separation based on particle high speed self-rotation, particle sorting, and particle filtration. It constructs process flows and engineering equipment of methanol-to-olefin reaction wastewater treatment using liquid-solid hydrocyclone separation as the core, liquid-solid on-line separation of fluidized bed hydrogenation, resource utilization of fluidized bed efflux catalyst and wastewater deep treatment.The relevant achievements covered in this book formed the industry standard "Technical Conditions for Liquid-Solid Hydrocyclone Separator" (HG/T 4380-2012), in which the "Coke Cooling Water Closed Cycle Treatment Process" was approved by the national environmental protection industry standard "Clean Production in Petroleum Refining Industry" (HG/T 125-2013)
