How to optimize design and operation of dense medium …

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 the performance of DMC may …

Dense Medium Cyclones (DMCs) & Hydrocyclones

HICTECH Dense Medium Cyclones (DMCs) are designed and manufactured to order, ensuring every cyclone is 'fit for purpose' prior to manufacture. The process evaluates the operating conditions of the plant in which the cyclone will be installed. This evaluation provides the required data which is then analysed through a dynamic processing model.

f is the feed medium density, ρ u is the underflow medium density, and a 0,a 1,a 2 are coefficients determined from data and specific to a given system. This correlation was found to work both with mag-netite media (Davis and Napier-Munn, 1987) and with FeSi media (Napier-Munn, 1984), using density tracers to determine the cut-den-sity.

OPTIMAL UTILIZATION OF DENSE MEDIUM CYCLONES

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.

Fine coal processing with dense medium cyclones

Pretoria in 1976. The plant was equipped with a single 150 mm diameter dense-medium cyclone supported by all the additional equipment needed to feed the cyclone and recover magnetite. The cyclone was fed at feed pressures ranging typically between 80 and 150 kPa (40 to 70D). The plant was employed to test the beneficiation of fine coal

A methodology for modelling dense medium cyclones

A methodology for modelling dense medium cyclones is presented for cyclones operating under conditions which avoid particle interference or apex crowding. Particle interference and apex crowding are shown to result in less efficient separations and represent undesirable regimes of dense medium cyclone operation. In order to avoid apex crowding, suitable medium to ore …

Cyclone technologies for efficient size mass and density

When using a dense medium cyclone in the early years, this resulted in easy separation, typically with 70% being coal at the overflow and only 30% being rejected as waste rock to the underflow. But we are now dealing with much lower grade coal ore, so the ratio is more or less the other way around, 70% being rejected as waste material through ...

The dense medium cyclone (DMC) is the most ubiquitous of the DMS vessels in use, and deservedly so. It is efficient (when run properly), can process both coarse and fine sizes, and has a relatively small footprint. Unlike other forms of gravity concentration, it also makes a positive separation at a desired density cut-point, due to the ...
