The design and Performance of Dense Medium

1. **Separator Geometry:** The design of DMS separators is influenced by the rheological properties of the dense medium, particularly its viscosity and particle size distribution. The geometry of the separator, including the size and shape of vessels, cones, or cyclones, is tailored to accommodate the flow characteristics of the medium.

The dense medium cyclone – past, present and future

The dense medium separation process (DMS) is a mature technology, and is widely used in mineral and coal processing. The dense medium cyclone (DMC) is the most ubiquitous of the DMS vessels in use, and deservedly so. It is efficient (when run properly), can process both coarse and fine sizes, and has a relatively small footprint.
