- Abstract:

In order to find out the most applicable separation method of loess grains, this research adopted three methods such as sieving method, centrifuge method and hydrostatic settlement method to do the particle separation experiment of Malan Loess in the first-stage project of Yan’an District and compared the results of three separation methods with the help of laser particle size analyzer. The results indicate that sieving method is mainly applicable to the separation of >0.05 mm loess grains. For <0.05 mm loess grains, the separation competence of sieving method is relatively limited and the reliability of separation results is low. On account of its own limitation and many influencing factors, the reliability of centrifuge method’s separation results is relatively low. Hydrostatic settlement method is mainly applicable to the separation of <0.05 mm loess grains and the reliability of its separation results is relatively high with a remarkable effect of particle sizing. However, for <0.002 mm loess grains, the time consumption of hydrostatic settlement method is a bit long. It is concluded that a combination method of sieving method and hydrostatic settlement method is the most applicable separation method to separate the loess particles; sieving method is for >0.05 mm coarse particles and hydrostatic settlement method is for <0.05 mm fine particles.
