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.

Dense Medium Cyclones for Coal Washing The dense medium cyclone was first developed at Dutch State Mines in the 1940s and since that time it has gained tremendous popularity all over the world, particularly for treating coal in the intermediate size ranges. The advantages of the dense medium cyclone are: * It can handle large tonnages.
Heavy Medium Cyclone is constructed with cylinder and cones, utilizes centrifugal separation principle to separate light product (clean coal) and heavy product (gangue). The device is widely applied in primary and secondary separation process, roughing process, cleaning process and etc.
With a view to achieving 16% clean coal ash, the following changes were made in the coal washing plants: (a) The relative density of medium in the primary cyclone circuit was reduced from 1.36 to 1.3–1.33 (b) The spigot diameter of the secondary cyclones was reduced from 140 mm to 125 mm.
Our Heavy-media Cyclones can handle top-size feed particles ranging up to 102 mm (4-in), and have capacities of 77 mtph (85 STPH) to 894 mtph (985 STPH) per cyclone. Tile lining for Heavy-media Cyclones. A relatively thick ceramic tile lining is critical in our Heavy-media Cyclones, as dense mineral matter can be very abrasive.
Flotation was used to achieve improved separation of magnetite from the float and sink products obtained from heavy medium separation and to reduce the load of the medium cleaning circuit. The investigation was carried out in two successive phases. In the first phase, tests were performed on in-plant samples from the Homer City Coal Prepation plant to determine what effects variables such as ...
This paper aims to determine the optimal operating cut points of Drewboy Heavy Medium (HM) Bath and HM Cyclone for the Zonguldak Coal Washing Plant so as to maximize the yield at a specified ash content of a final clean coal by solving constrained nonlinear optimization problem using Solver. 2. Theoretical background
GTEK Gravity Feed Three Product Dense-Medium Cyclone Description. The 3NWX dense medium cyclones are capable of not only separating coal particles but also concentrating and the heavy media at the same time, which makes it possible to use single low density heavy medium, instead of using both low and high densities, to produce three qualified clean, middling, and reject products at one time.
A coal preparation plant ... The Heavy Media Cyclone may be lined with very high quality ceramic tiles or manufactured from Ni-hard (a very hard alloy of cast iron containing nickel) with a specially designed helical profile. A cyclone is the heart of the washing unit in a Heavy Media Washery. It is a non moving part and hence requires very low ...

Sep 17, 2018· The heavy media cyclone is used extensively in coal processing and in the primary treatment of metal ores such as Pb and Zn. The modern cyclone for coal preparation is the most effective option for size fraction of 0.5–50 mm (Chu et al. 2012).
The lighter particles (coal) come out the upper end and the heavier particles (shale) the lower. Cyclones can be used alone or in a system with dense medium drums. Larger plants may include banks of cyclones operating together. Cyclone-only plants are suitable for the cleaning of small coals of less than 40 mm. Operation
During this period, the “typical” dense medium cyclone circuit was designed to process raw coal in the 9.5 mm x 0.6 mm size range. Coarser coal was processed in dense medium vessels or jigs, and the fines were processed in spirals, water-only cyclones, or flotation.

The performance of three different types of spirals and a 200 mm diameter water washing cyclone have been assessed in open-circuit on-site testwork at the Norwich Park preparation plant on nominally 500 µ x 75 µm sized coal. The study is part of a program investigating alternative methods to heavy media cyclones and froth flotation for removing ash from fine coal from Central Queensland ...
Coal Washing Plant / Coal Preparation Plant. HOT Mining is leading in the design, construction and operation of coal washing plants (coal handling and preparation plants, hereafter “CHPP”).. The Joint Venture of HOT – SCCDRI has delivered over 20 CHPPs with capacity from 90 TPH to 3125 TPH.

As finer sizes of coal are washed, new techniques will be used. In the accompanying flow sheet for the Homer City coal-washing plant of the Penelec Co. shown as Fig. 6, there is a heavy-medium cyclone which receives the underflow of a 2 mm x 0 classifying cyclone which makes a split at 100 mesh. Thus, the cyclone input is sized at 2mm x 100 mesh.
The raw coal to be treated is suspended in a very fine medium, normally finely ground magnetite, and this pulp is fed tangentially into the cyclone through the inlet to a short cylindrical section, which also carries what is termed the vortex finder. Separation is made in the cone-shaped part of the cyclone …

Magnetite, slurried in water, is used to create an apparent heavy medium in which fine coal (0.1 to 2.4 mm) is cleaned of its mineral impurities. The magnetite is much finer in size (1 to 44 ..mu..m) than the coal and is usually recovered from the coal and refuse by magnetic drum separators.
