Dense medium cyclones for coal washing - a review

open access: yes, 2006
Coal is the world's pre-eminent energy source, and will remain so for many years. It is also a vital commodity in steel production, as well as in a number of other industrial processes. Prior to use, almost all coals need some form of washing, or preparation, to remove non-combustible material.

Dense Medium Cyclones

International Journal of Coal Preparation and Utilization, 2014
Dense medium cyclones are used extensively in the minerals processing industry around the world and cyclones with larger diameters have been introduced in recent years. Although cyclones have been in use for well over 60 years, the influence of the different process variables such as cyclone dimensions, feed pressure, medium properties and feed rates ...

A general model of the dense medium cyclone [PDF]

open access: possible, 2023
Mathematical models that predict the separation by the dense medium cyclone have been developed by researchers since the 1960's. These models have ranged from simple empirical equations to comprehensive models. A common factor shared by all these models is that they were developed from data that was focused upon a particular range of operating ...

A CYCLONE fOR a REASON – Dense Medium Cyclone Efficiency

2016
Cyclones have been in mineral processing since the first patent in 1912 and amongst the many uses of the configuration of the cyclones is the DENSE MEDIUM CYCLONE, used for separation of particles of different densities; separation enhanced by the use of either magnetite or ferrosilicon as an essential element of the process to create the desired ...

CFD Modeling of Dense Medium Cyclone

International Journal of Coal Preparation and Utilization, 2010
A number of empirical models are in existence for the dense medium cyclone (DMC) and in recent years this subject has been broached with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The dense medium presents a centrifugal field within the cyclone body. The coal particles separate in this field due to various forces acting on them.

A laboratory study on dense-medium cycloning

Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration, 1989
A laboratory study of dense-medium cycloning with Redstone seam coal has been conducted. The investigation was performed using a 203 mm (8 inch) Heyl-Patterson dense-medium cyclone. Two underflow orifices of 31.8 mm (1.25 inch) and 44.5 mm (1.75 inch) in diam were used.

Pressure drop in dense-medium cyclones

International Journal of Mineral Processing, 1986
An experimental study has been made of the pressure drop characteristics of densemedium cyclones. The validity of a correlation developed by dimensional reasoning has been confirmed by experiments with a 30-mm cyclone using a stable suspensoid medium. and with a 104-mm cyclone using both water and unstable (conventional) ferrosilicon media.

Numerical modeling of dense medium cyclones

2023
A multiphase computational fluid dynamics model development for a dense medium cyclone (DMC) treating coal is presented in this chapter. Literature review indicates that the flow in DMCs is highly complex and requires a multiscale modeling strategy. The particle separation mechanism in the DMC is also not fully understood. The chapter discusses various

A Model of Dense Medium Cyclones

Coal Preparation, 1989
Abstract A Model of dense medium cyclones is developed based on balancing the terminal velocities of the discrete particles due to the centrifugal force against a random turbulent eddy velocity. An expression of the form — P/100 = e−xQ −1/e−x −1 where P is the partition number, α is a function of cyclone efficiency, particle size and density ...

Prediction of Underflow Medium Density in Dense Medium Cyclones

1992
The prediction of the underflow medium density, ρu, in a dense medium cyclone is important, both because many empirical and phenomenological models of DMC performance incorporate ρu as an independent variable, and for plant design purposes. This paper reviews the published correlations for ρu, and presents some recent work on the subject.
