As the mixture flows through DMS cyclones or baths, heavier minerals sink while lighter ones float, allowing for effective separation. Milled ferro silicon's high density, stability in suspension ...
Cyclone type media density separation processes established in the coal processing industry may constitute a means of optimizing such separations. This technology may be applicable since the hydroscopic character and particle sizes and shapes of coal ore are relatively similar to plastic particles from shredder wastes.
Dense medium cyclones are used extensively in the minerals processing industry around the world and cyclones with larger diameters have been introduced in recent years. Although cyclones have been in use for well over 60 years, the influence of the different process variables such as cyclone dimensions, feed pressure, medium …
Dense medium separation (DMS) is often used to reject a large portion of gangue material upfront to create cost and energy savings during processing. As lower-grade ores with complex mineralogy are being increasingly exploited, the properties of the gangue minerals begin to play a more important role in the upgrading of the ore. It is …
This near-gravity phase of coal has long been thought to cause separation inefficiencies which makes coal processing difficult. In this work, a slurry containing magnetite-based dense medium, and coal is pumped through a 100 mm Multotec cyclone.
Our investigation of the application of a magnetic cyclone to dense medium separation showed that by a judicious positioning of a solenoid magnet along the axis of the cyclone, and by adjusting ...
In dense medium separation, medium rheology plays an important role in separation efficiency. A high viscosity increases particle misplacement in dense medium cyclones and baths. It decreases the separation density in cyclones due to a reduction in the medium differential.

This manual provides recommendations for cyclone geometry, inlet pressure, feed medium density and so on, required to achieve a given throughput and cutpoint. However, the manual provides no indication of how sensitive the separation is to variations in operating parameters (Anon, 1985).
In order to meet the market demands for minerals, it is necessary that large volumes of ores be treated at a rapid rate, and this has led to the use of multiple cyclones (in parallel) in the dense medium separation (DMS) plant since the single largest efficiently used cyclone (710 mm in diameter) can only process approximately 400 m 3 /h of material. However, …
Condor Dense Medium Separators provide a simple, cost-effective way to separate and recover valuable minerals at a coarse particle size, ranging from as fine as 0.5 mm to as coarse as 50-70 mm but typically in the range of 1- 50 mm.
