— A similar transition phenomenon has been observed by Magwai et al. [3] in a dense medium cyclone (DMC). These studies suggest that the solids loading rate is a key parameter in the performance of these cyclones. Nonetheless, a universal rule to describe the specific effect of solids loading rate in cyclones may not exist. This is because, even ...

In coal preparation, large dense medium cyclones (DMC) at low pressure heads (typically 9D where D = cyclone diameter) are the norm. This contrasts with high density mineral applications where, largely for historical reasons, smaller cyclones at high heads are the standard. There are advantages in preferring large diameter cyclones at low heads, …
