Dense Medium Separation (DMS) Dense medium separation is also known as heavy medium separation or the sinkandfloat process. It has two principal applications: the preconcentration of minerals, that is, the rejection of gangue prior to grinding for final liberation, and in coal preparation to produce a commercially graded endproduct, that is, clean coal being separated from the heavier .
Get PriceGravity separation is a solid/liquid separation process, which relies on a density difference between the phases. Equipment size and effectiveness of gravity separation depends on the solids settling velocity, which is a function of the particles size, density difference, fluid viscosity, and particle concentration (hindered settling).
