Dense medium cyclones are rapidly becoming a common choice for cleaning a much broader size range of raw coal than considered economically feasible just a few years ago. From a nominal top size of 63.5 mm to 76.2 mm down to 0.15 mm dense medium cyclones have been shown to be capable of operating economically and over a narrow range of efficiencies.
Standard single-stage classifying cyclone circuits were tried in the past with less than satisfactory results. With a larger cyclone, too much oversize low density coal reported to the overflow, while with the smaller cyclones, -250 mm (10-inch), excessive amounts of high density clays reported to the underflow of the cyclone.

Fine Coal Processing with Dense-Medium Cyclones GJ de Korte, CSIR, Pretoria, South Africa Abstract Dense-medium cyclones have been used for many years in a number of countries around the world to beneficiate fine coal. The use of cyclones in this application is, however, not widespread and at present, the process is employed only in South Africa
Dense medium cyclone is a kind of device which utilizes centrifugal force to separate materials according to specific gravity in the medium. The raw material to be treated is suspended in a very fine medium. The pulp is fed to three product dense medium cyclone through the inlet to short cylindrical section by the force of gravity.
This circuit consist of an ore feed, a set of desliming screens to pre-size the feed to the vessel, dense media vessel, media drain and rinse screens, and a media control circuit. It is often combined with a dense medium cyclone circuit and a fines circuit to process material of a finer size. DENSE MEDIUM

Dense medium cyclones (DMCs) are known to be efficient, high-tonnage devices suitable for upgrading particles in the 50 to 0.5 mm size range. This versatile separator, which uses centrifugal forces to enhance the separation of fine particles that cannot be upgraded in static dense medium separators
Hydrocyclones have no moving parts and achieve solid liquid separation by virtue of a pressure drop across the unit. GTEK small diameter hydrocyclones are designed for very fine separations. In many applications small diameter cyclones can be used in place of decanting centrifuges, providing the desired result at lower cost.
Optimal coal processing route for the 3 x 0.5 mm size fraction? by J. de Korte* and J. Bosman† Synopsis Traditionally the feed to dense-medium cyclones was deslimed at 0.5 mm and the minus 0.5 mm size fraction was then processed in spirals. With the increase in the diameter of dense-medium cyclones, the particle size at which the cyclone feed

GTEK Gravity Feed Three Product Dense-Medium Cyclone Description. The 3NWX dense medium cyclones are capable of not only separating coal particles but also concentrating and the heavy media at the same time, which makes it possible to use single low density heavy medium, instead of using both low and high densities, to produce three qualified clean, middling, and reject products at one time.

Dense Medium Cyclone; Small-diameter Hydrocyclones’ Performance in Desliming Process; In recent years, the use of small diameter hydrocyclones, with internal diameters less than 75 mm, is growing in mineral processing for fine particle classification. These hydrocyclones are being used for recovery of kaolin and diatomaceous clay, for
Prolonging the life of cyclones . Dense-medium separation using cyclones is a complex process. Proper preventative maintenance has an influence on the efficiency of the operation. Unfortunately, there are mines that don’t realise the value of this. Mientjie Kleinhans finds out what can and should be done.
Leeuwpan fine coal dense medium plant mixed with magnetite in the launder and enters a second stage washing cyclone. The product of the secondary cyclone is sent to a product magnetic separator and the discard of the primary cyclone is routed to the discard magnetic separator. The discard of the secondary washing stage is recycled back to the feed.

Industrially, the most common dense media is a suspension of fine magnetite and/or ferrosilicon particles. An aqueous solution as a dense medium is used in coal processing in the form of a belknap wash and suspensions in air are used in water-deficient areas, like areas of China, where sand is used to separate coal from the gangue minerals.
Densification and Dense Medium Control Strategies The control of the medium density is a major factor in the operation of the dense medium separation process. The medium density must be kept in close tolerance to the target or set-point density to avoid displacement of near density material which will affect the yields and product grades.
Dense Medium Cyclones Dense medium cyclones are available in a wide range of sizes (up to 1,450 mm diameter!) and with various inlet and vortex finder configurations. Cyclones are selected for each application based on: • feed tonnage • topsize • yield—critical in determining the proper apex size • coal (or ore):medium ratio

Oct 22, 2016· 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.

with which the grains fall through a fluid medium (usually water). Cyclones utilise centrifugal force to accelerate the settling rate of particles. Although the aim of cyclone operation is to separate particles by size, particle density, particle shape and other factors also affect the settling rate of particles and hence cyclone performance.
These strengths of the two processes are turned to good advantage by the use or desliming sieve bends which tend to perform some density separation on the’size fractions of interest, directing lower ash material to froth flotation than to the dense medium cyclones.
The medium density at which the separation between more dense and less dense material occurs is called the cut point density. Invariably, there often is a percentage of the feed coal distribution which gets trapped in an envelope of zero velocity inside the cyclone where

For example, consider the typical particle size ranges reporting to the dense medium vessel (100 x 10 mm) and dense medium cyclones (10 x 1 mm). The arithmetic mean particle sizes are 55 mm and 5.5 mm, respectively. The relative particle density is about 1.35.

Furthermore, the slurry mixture of the heavy medium utilised for the purpose of dense medium separation should be non-detrimental to the effectiveness of separation in the DMS Fine cyclone plant. Medium characterisation showed that removal of ultra-fines leads to unstable media as indicated by faster settling rates.

include models for screening, medium make-up and dense medium separation through cyclones. As far as the authors are aware, a dynamic model for a dense medium drum (DMD) separator is not available in the open literature. Since a drum separator is an integral unit process required in coal beneficiation (King, 1999) it is necessary that a dynamic
Dense medium cyclones were introduced into Australian washeries in the 1950s. Modern circuits continue to be based on the strong foundations provided by the Dutch State Mines and Stamicarbon BV, but over the ensuing decades, many innovations have been trialed. Many have been rejected and others have proven useful and have been widely adopted:
