A hydrocyclone is a centrifugal classifier that separates particles by size using centrifugal force. Applications for hydrocyclones are incredibly varied. It is used to separate solids from liquids, liquids from liquids, and gases from liquids. It is easy to install and use, simple, inexpensive, and low maintenance. It serves as the brain of the mineral processing plant and is used to process water in important sectors of the textile, petroleum, chemical, paper, and agricultural industries. It is made up of a cylindrical and a conical portion. Three holes are present—two outputs and one for the feed intake. The under flow was for pollutant outlet and the vortex finder was for water outlet. Pressure drop, geometrical factors, and feed size distribution all have an impact on the hydrocyclone's efficiency. The present work reviews the shape optimization of vortex finder, spigots, air core and walls of the hydrocyclone for enhancing the desired outcome of the hydrocyclone.
