During this period, the "typical" dense medium cyclone circuit was designed to process raw coal in the 9.5 mm x 0.6 mm size range. Coarser coal was processed in dense medium vessels or jigs, …
1. Introduction. The dense medium cyclone (DMC), also known as the heavy medium cyclone, is the work horse of modern coal preparation to upgrade run-of-mine coal in the 0.5–50 mm size range.Its working principle has been well documented (King and Juckes, 1984, Svarovsky, 1984, Wills, 1992, Chu et al., 2009a).A small improvement on …
a dense media processing cyclone embodying the teachings of the subject invention is generally designated as 10. With reference to its orientation in FIG. 1, the dense media processing cyclone extends between a housing 12 for receiving clean coal removed by a chute 14. At the opposite end of the cyclone 10 is a housing 16 for transmittal of ...
The paper will look at some factors that could be influenced by these initiatives, namely: the effect of near dense material, the effect of cyclone spigot wear and the effect of overloading the process by focussing on the medium to coal ratio and desliming screen capacity. The efficient utilization of energy is also touched on.
Generally, coal washeries include dense medium vessels/drums and cylones for coarse and intermediate sizes as well as spirals and flotation units for fine/ultrafine fractions. Three product-dense medium cyclones (TPDMC) may replace the traditional flowsheet, enabling coals of a wide size range to be treated at once.
A coal dense medium separation process can benefit substantially from process control provided that a dynamic model for this process is available as was previously developed by the authors for a fine coal dense medium cyclone (DMC) circuit. In this paper, the previous model is adapted to a coarse coal DMC circuit and validated …
Samples of the feed, underflow and overflow mediums from dense medium cyclones operating at low separation densities in eight commercial coal washeries were sized and analysed, to obtain comparative cyclone classification performance curves for the magnetite, shale and coal components in the circulating medium. The resulting …

A mathematical model is proposed to describe the multiphase flow in a dense-medium cyclone (DMC). In this model, the volume of fluid multiphase model is first used to determine the shape and position of the air core, and then the mixture multiphase model is employed to describe the flow of the dense medium (comprising finely ground …

Dense medium separation (DMS) is a robust process that can be conducted at particle sizes as coarse as 300 mm and as fine as 500 µm with high separation efficiency, depending on liberation characteristics of the value minerals. The DMS process involves three steps: feed preparation, dense medium separation, and ferrous-based media …
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.
Dense medium separation (DMS) is one of several preconcentration methods used for early waste rejection from run-of-mine ores at relatively coarse particle sizes prior to additional milling and beneficiation. DMS has been used extensively in the coal, diamond, mineral sands, base metals and iron ore industries to produce either a final product or as …
