Features of near gravitational material tracers in a dense medium
Three variations of dense medium were prepared, composed of mixtures of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4, −45 μm, and specific gravity of 4.8 g/cm 3) in water to achieve feed densities of 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 g/cm 3, respectively. To this medium, coal was added at the proportion of at least 4.5 to 1 medium to coal ratio by volume.
Introduction to Cyclones
We recommend a maximum feed pressure of 125kPa for fine feed, and a maximum of 100kPa for coarse feed, to prevent excessive wear. But for fine particles or dilute feeds, the maximum pressure can be as high as 300kPa for the smaller cyclones – 400mmØ and less. Recommended maximum feed pressures are –. Cyclone Diameter.
