Like the heavy-media vessels, Heavy-media Cyclones also are designed to clean coal and minerals based on their density differences. Using finely ground magnetite and water as the media to create a buoyancy effect for gravimetric separation, the Heavy-media Cyclone forces the lighter solids to its centre, where the slurry transports them upward and …

The effect of the operation and equipment parameters of the CWS cyclone on preparation efficiency have been investigated in the laboratory.

The heavy-media separation process, or HMS, employing ferrous media, usually ferrosilicon and/or magnetite, is the most generally used process for sink-float separations. A stable medium over the range of specific gravities from 1.25 to 3.40 can be maintained within close limits and is cleaned and recovered by magnetic means.

The DSM rules still applied however, so the larger cyclones still required the same minimum medium to ore ratios, still required all the ratios between components but now, with the larger throat the cyclone could digest a larger top size of coal (the Multotec 1450 mm cyclone is suitable up to 95 or maximum 100 mm coal). Large diameter DM cyclones

Heavy medium cyclones (HMCs) are commonly used to clean run-of-mine coal in the 50- to 0.5-mm size range. Unfortunately, field studies suggest that industrial HMC circuits are often poorly designed or improperly operated, resulting in significant losses of recoverable clean coal. To assist plant engineers in overcoming these problems, a …

A 450 mm rubber-lined cyclone plant was in-stalled on the De Beers mine at Dreyers Pan in Namaqualand during 1966 to treat the whole gravel size range from minus 20 mm to 2 mm.
