Dense Medium Cyclone

A Dense Medium Cyclone is a device used in mining to separate valuable minerals from waste rock. It works by creating a mixture of particles and a special liquid called a dense medium, with different densities. The cyclone uses swirling motions to direct heavier mineral particles (lighter waste) to the center and bottom, while lighter particles (valuable minerals) are carried differently. This efficient separation process helps improve the quality of mineral extraction and reduces the need for multiple processing steps. It’s a key tool in mineral processing, especially for sorting materials like coal and iron ore.
