A Model of Dense Medium Cyclone Performance

Abstract. A mathematical model of the dense medium cyclone process has been developed by researchers at the JKMRC over a number of years. It has utilised empirical relationships between key performance criteria (such as cut point and Ep for the various size fractions) and cyclone geometry and operating parameters. This model is …

A CYCLONE fOR a REASON – Dense Medium Cyclone …

Cyclones have been in mineral processing since the first patent in 1912 and amongst the many uses of the configuration of the cyclones is the DENSE MEDIUM CYCLONE, used for separation of particles of different densities; separation enhanced by the use of either magnetite or ferrosilicon as an essential element of the process to …

The beneficiation of fine coal by dense-medium cyclone

Various methods for the beneficiation of minus 0,5 mm coal are examined briefly, and tests are descriptionbed on a cyclone of 150 mm diameter operating with magnetite as the medium. It was found that, for sharp separations, at least 50 per cent of the magnetite should be finer than 10?m.At that size, the ash content of the product was about 7 per …

Fine coal processing with dense medium cyclones

Some of the earliest work on the beneficiation of fine coal with a dense-medium cyclone was carried out in South Africa by the Fuel Research Institute (FRI) of South Africa under the guidance of Dr. PJ van der Walt in 1949. Using a 240 mm diameter cyclone and barites as the dense medium, the results shown in Table 1 were obtained when
