Dense Media Separation
Dense Media Separation (DMS), also known as Heavy Media Separation, is a technique used to separate particles based on their density. DMS is commonly used to pre-concentrate lithium ores, iron ore, and diamonds and to "wash" coals.

Performance prediction of floatex density separator in processing iron
Effective use of a Floatex density separator (FDS), a continuous teetered bed separator, in beneficiating iron ore fines in terms of alumina and silica removal has been investigated. Particle behaviour in an FDS is described using steady state force balance on the particle. A relative velocity approach coupled with the mass balance has been adopted for …

The paper discusses various aspects of the application of heavy-medium separation to the processing of hematite ore at Sishen and Thabazimbi. The two main factors to be borne in mind in the design of a plant for such beneficiation are the Iow unit value of the iron ore produced and the high separation densities required.
