Abstract—The dense medium cyclone (DMC) process used in coal beneficiation plants is studied from a control system perspective. Employing the dynamic model of the DMC process ... of the fast increasing electricity price. The controller solves an optimisation problem formulated to determine the density of medium whenever new measurements are ...
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), 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 …

by a 600 mm cyclone and a 750 mm cyclone for test purposes, and the plant was finally operated with a 600 mm rubber-lined 20° cyclone. A 600 mm DSM (Dutch State Mines) heavy-medium cyclone was installed to treat the fine material at the No. 4 plant of the Consolidated Diamond Mines of South West Africa Limited in 1965. In the same
PUJOTOMO, Dense Medium Cyclone Technology to Improve Quality of Coal 136 are made to have specific relative densities to ensure the separation of coal from gangue. Coal beneficiation primarily makes use of gravity separation in coal washing . It is explained that dense medium separation (DMS), specifically the dense
The effect of particles of different size and density (normalized by dividing by water density) on the flow of medium phase: (a) operational head; (b) medium split; (c) medium differential. It is interesting to see that when particle density is low at 1200 kg/m 3, the pressure drop increases with increase of particle size until the particle ...

HICTECH cyclones for coal and minerals include classifying, hydrocyclones, desliming, water only and dense medium cyclones (DMCs). Available Australia-wide.
dense medium cyclone can be detected visually by observing the discharge type at the sinks and monitoring particle misplacement to the floats stream. A regression model that quantifies the spigot capacity, in terms of ore and slurry, has been developed. Various parameters were considered in the model, these include: cyclone

The partition curve of dense medium cyclones (DMCs) has been extensively investigated. Most of the existing models are merely used to simulate the density distribution at the same size fraction.
Processes such as dense medium are capable of 'sharp' separations, whereas water-only processes such as jigs are not generally able to effect equally sharp separations. A dense-medium cyclone is therefore said to be more efficient than a jig. A number of parameters are used to define efficiency. The most popular method of

In this paper, the application of a magnetic field around a dense medium cyclone has proven to increase the sharpness of separation within such a cyclone, and has also made it possible to make use of coarser media

The position of the top cover of the dense medium cyclone is set at Z = 0, and the minus Z direction is downwards. To understand the detailed flow field and particle distribution inside the cyclone, the numerical simulation results are displayed in six sections shown in Fig. 2 (c). Sections 1 and 2 are respectively perpendicular to the inlet ...
A mathematical model is proposed to describe the multiphase flow in a dense-medium cyclone (DMC). In this model, the volume of fluid multiphase model is first used to determine the shape and position of the air core, and then the mixture multiphase model is employed to describe the flow of the dense medium (comprising finely ground magnetite in …
