In the dense medium cyclone, a mixture of medium and raw coal enters tangentially near the top of the cylindrical section, thus forming a strong vortical flow. The refuse/high ash particles move along the wall of the cyclone (due to the centrifugal force) where the velocity is the least and is discharged through the underflow orifice or the spigot.

ABSTRACT Both a liquid-solid fluidized bed separator (LSFBS) and a dense medium cyclone (DMC) are used for cleaning coal of -1+0.25 mm size. However, a comparison of LSFBS and DMC's performance in separation of difficult-to-separate coal has seldom been reported. Difficult-to-separate coarse coal from the Tangkou plant was processed using …

The Dense Medium Separation (DMS) is the primary method used within the diamond industry for the concentration of diamond bearing ore using cyclones. To reduce the downstream …
A number of dynamic separators have also been used over the years, but the unit that is most widely used is the dense medium cyclone. It was first patented in 1942 by the Dutch State Mines and is often referred to as the DSM cyclone.
The past years have witnessed a significant extension in state-of-the-art dense medium cyclone circuitry design. 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 ...
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

The Separating Medium . The density of the medium, its rheological behaviour (viscosity) and capacity to maintain the homogeneity (stability) during operations under high shear rates and acceleration conditions, such as those typical of dynamic dense media separation systems, are the factors that most influence the separation.
