Highlights A PC-based model is formulated to predict the performance of dense medium cyclones. The validity of the model is examined by its good agreement with measurements. The effects of some key variables on DMC performance are studied by this model. The model is useful for design, control and optimization of DMCs in coal industry.

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 ...

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 media separators are commonly used for preconcentration of coal and diamonds but less commonly for other mineral systems such as lead and zinc. Due to lower head grades adding to the complexities of the ore, multi-stage dense media separators like the Condor can offer some advantages over the single-stage dense medium cyclones.

length of approximately 0.6x cyclone diameter. 2.1.2. Feed Medium-to-Coal Ratio The recommended medium-to-coal ratio in the cyclone feed when treating South African coals with excessive near-gravity material is 3.5:1 (Peatfield, 2003). Dense medium cyclones that operate at medium-to-coal ratios below 3.5:1, when

Modelling of dense-medium cyclones treating coal. Int. J. Miner. Process., 17: 287--301. Experiments have been conducted on a 75-mm dense-medium cyclone treating coal in the size range -- 2.0 + 0.5 mm using magnetite as the medium under different design and operating conditions.

This article details the key outcomes for Australian Coal Association Research Program (ACARP) Project No. C20045, a Stage 2 project following on from Stage 1 ACARP project No. 17036. The primary purpose was to measure very large dense medium cyclone (DMC), that is, 1450 mm diameter, performance ...

Modelling of a 76 mm diameter dense medium cyclone treating coal in the size range - 2·0 + 0·5 mm have been done on the basis of extensive experimental data generated. The behaviour of independent sizes such as 2·0+ 1·4,-1·4+1·18,- 1·18 + 1·0,- 1·0 + 0·6,-0·6+0·5 mm fractions within the size range of-2·0+ 0·5 mm were separately analysed.

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.

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 ...

Dense-medium beneficiation of fine (minus 0.5 mm) coal is not a new concept and has been used in South Africa previously. The dense-medium fine coal plant at Greenside Colliery operated for almost 18 years and, despite proving a difficult plant to operate, did succeed in producing a fine coal product with a low ash content of 7%. No other ...

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

The dense medium cyclone (DMC) separates solids by density. It is a high-tonnage device that has been widely used to upgrade run-of-mine coal in the coal industry by separating gangue from product coal. The flow in a DMC is very complicated with the presence of vorticity turbulence, an air core and segregation of medium and coal particles.

Cone angle of 20 ~. Cyclones typically treat ores and coal in the range 0.5-40 mm. The largest cyclones now exceed 1 m in diameter and are capable of throughputs in coal preparation of over 250 t/h The ore or coal is suspended in the medium and introduced tangentially to the cyclone either via a pump or it is gravity-fed. The dense material is ...

of the equation which predicts the operating performance of a well maintained dense medium separator for a given cyclone geometry (including cyclone diameter) and separation density. In this study, MODSIM© (education/demo version) dense medium cyclone model was applied to coal preparation plant owned by Soma Uyar Mining Co.

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 ).
