Dense medium cyclones can also be used to treat even larger size fractions (up to 3 in. or more in some cases) often replacing the vessel circuit, which is a popular processing option in …
Read MoreCoal preparation plants usually use a number of processes taking advantage of the difference in density between coal and the mineral matter to separate the two (e.g. dense medium baths, froth flotation, cyclones). Other processes involved in the preparation plant include stockpiling and recovery, dewatering, disposal of waste ( "coal wash") and ...
Read MoreIn coal preparation plant, dense medium separation is usually combined with flotation, to process coarse or fine-grained materials. Dense medium separation is usually used for separation of the coarse material with particle size >0.5 mm, while flotation is used for processing of the coal slime with particle size <0.5 mm.
