Dense-medium (magnetite in the case of coal), a slurry/suspension having a relative density intermediate to that of valuable mineral and gangue, is generally used as the medium of separation in most coal preparation plants. The medium, being costly, plays a crucial role in determining the economics of any preparation operation.

With the continuous increase in the demand for coal resources, maximizing the productivity of clean coal is not only an effective way to improve the economic benefits of coal …
ABSTRACT Low-rank steam coal is an important coal resource, but has high water and ash content, which needs to be separated to improve its quality and calorific value. In this paper, the process of screening using a flip-flow screen and density separator using a shallow groove dense-medium separator for steam coal was proposed and applied to …
The materials subject to dense medium separation include raw coal, the hard-to-separate middling coal in coal preparation plant, and the preliminarily crushed …
Coal preparation practices vary globally as coal properties and market conditions vary. In the US and Australia, dense medium separation accounted for over half of the preparation done in 2001, as shown in Table 1.8 (Cleaner Coal Technology Program, 2001).In South Africa, dense medium separation accounted for 85% of the coal preparation, due to …
A coal preparation plant typically operates with multiple cleaning circuits to clean individual size fractions of run-of-mine coal. Coal preparation plants are traditionally optimized using the ...
Since the dense medium cyclone (DMC) was first patented in the 1940s it has become the process of choice in coal preparation, and is also widely used for …
It provided a foundation of real-time predictive control for dense-medium cyclones in coal preparation plants. One month of comprehensive float-and-sink data of raw coal. Partition curves under c ...
Coal dense medium separation is a popular beneficiation process used for the upgrading of coal ore into power station and metallurgical coal. The control systems used in coal beneficiation are often limited to localised regulatory control of feed rate and medium density. A coal dense medium separation process can benefit substantially from ...
The coal preparation process is a physical cleaning process ... allows the treatment of larger tonnages and a much wider size range of coal in a single unit which simplifies the dense medium plant design and reduce capital and operating costs. ... A coal preparation plant separates the material it receives into a product stream and a …
In 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.
Abstract. The dense medium cyclone (DMC) is a high-tonnage device widely used to upgrade run-of-mine coal in the modern coal industry. It is known that a small improvement on the performance of DMC may greatly enhance industrial profitability.
To predict real-time distribution curve of dense medium cyclone in the Taixi coal preparation plant, a new method based on field data was presented. A group of uniformly designed single machine checks (sampling test of a dense medium cyclone) were carried out for modeling field operating parameters and distribution curve indexes.
In the dense medium separation system of coal preparation plant, the fluctuation of raw coal ash and lag of suspension density adjustment often causes the instability of product quality. To …

The separation of fine coal has been widely discussed in the coal preparation industry due to its high economic potential. Dense medium cyclone (DMC) is the most efficient equipment available for fine coal separation. However, the industrial application of DMC is far from satisfactory due to operational difficulties and …
A coal dense medium separation (DMS) plant makes use of the principle of density separation to upgrade mined coal and produce metallurgical coal or power station coal. The objective of the DMS plant operation is to produce coal product within a minimum quality specification and maximum possible yield ( England et al., 2002 ).
