Dense medium cyclones (DMCs) are widely used coal-cleaning devices in the mining industry. For hard-to-clean (+10% near gravity material) in the size range of 50 mm to 0.5 mm, DMCs are very effective. In operation, the raw coal and the medium are fed at a precise pressure into the tangential inlet. The ensuing flow spirals towards the apex of ...

Development of a Multi-Stream Monitoring and Control System for Dense Medium Cyclones Coby Braxton Addison ABSTRACT Dense medium cyclones (DMCs) have become the workhorse of the coal preparation industry due to their high efficiency, large capacity, small footprint and low maintenance requirements. Although the advantages of DMCs make them highly
an 800 mm dense-medium cyclone processing minus 50 mm coal. The performance data for the separation shown in Figure 2 are summarized in Table I. The partition curve shown in Figure 3 depicts the recovery efficiency for the 2 x 0.5 mm size fraction, measured in a 660 mm dense-medium cyclone processing minus 50 mm coal.
cyclones. 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.
Dense medium cyclones. A cyclone is a conical vessel in which coal along with finely ground magnetite (media) is pumped tangentially to a tapered inlet and short cylindrical section at a predetermined flowrate and pressure followed by a conical section where the separation takes place.
The results indicated that the dense-medium cyclone was capable of cleaning down to 0.037 mm. Ultrasonic treatment appeared to have only minimal impact on the overall separation of the coal and ...

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 ).
feeds, and recent large cyclone developments allow treating materials with top sizes as coarse as 100 mm and as fine as 0.5 mm. Major developments in the dense medium technology include: (Wills, 1988; Hillman, 2003) • 1858 – Bessemer (UK): First dense medium process patent to remove coal
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, and the fines were processed in spirals, water-only cyclones, or flotation.
Dense medium processing (baths, drums, cyclones) is considered a proven technology down to a bottom size of 0.5 mm ww. The need to export coal at 50 mm top‑size has promoted the use of dense medium cyclones and there are now very few large coal dense medium baths or drums being designed into new plants. Australia has been very quick
