About this document
Overview of Dense Medium Separation by Katleho Mohono is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Dense medium separation is a gravity separation technique that uses a dense liquid to separate minerals by density. Minerals denser than the liquid will sink, while minerals lighter will float. Magnetite or ferrosilicon suspended in water creates a dense medium with adjustable density from 1.25-3.5 g/cm3. Coarser material is separated in baths while cyclones separate finer material more efficiently. Dense medium separation effectively concentrates minerals with near densities and has applications in process
