The previous literature has well reported the general working principle of the DMC process (Wills, 1992; Wood, 1990).As schematically shown in Fig. 1, the feed, which contains a mixture of magnetite and raw coal, uses …
In coal preparation, large dense medium cyclones (DMC) at low pressure heads (typically 9D where D = cyclone diameter) are the norm. This contrasts with high density mineral applications where, largely for historical reasons, smaller cyclones at high heads are the standard. There are advantages in preferring large diameter cyclones at low heads, …
