Oct 16, 2019· Dense Media Separation( DMS)/ Heavy Media Separation( HMS) Technology. In the production of the diamond plant, heavy medium separation/ dense medium separation processing technology is very important, directly related to energy utilization, resource conservation, and production efficiency, considered to be one of the most effective methods of gravity separation.
view moreGravity separation is an industrial method of separating two components, either a suspension, or dry granular mixture where separating the components with gravity is sufficiently practical: i.e. the components of the mixture have different specific weight. All of the gravitational methods are common in the sense that they all use gravity as the dominant force.

view more39.3.3 Heavy media separation. Heavy media separation dates back to several centuries. Initially, a fine magnetite was used as a heavy media. In 1936, a plant was designed employing organic liquid as a heavy media for treating anthracite coal containing ore. The heavy media process is usually used for treatment of coarse coal above 9.5 mm in size.

Separation by gravity covers two different methods. • Separation in water (Gravity concentration). • Separation in a heavy medium (Dense Media Separation, DMS).
view moreHeavy media gravity separation means separating products with different densities. Magnetiteand water are used to make a slurry on which one product will float (the product with a lower density than the slurry) and in which the other product will sink (the product with a higher density than the slurry). Hence the term sink-and-float separation ...
