The heavy-media separation process, or HMS, employing ferrous media, usually ferrosilicon and/or magnetite, is the most generally used process for sink-float separations. A stable medium over the range of specific gravities from 1.25 to 3.40 can be maintained within close limits and is cleaned and recovered by magnetic means.

Development of a cylindrical version of a DMS cyclone designated Large Coal Density Media Separator (LARCODEMS) by British Coal has been proven to be effective for processing 0.5–120 mm particles. This type of device has the important advantage over the conocylindrical type of DMS cyclone in that the material to be …
Dense medium separation (DMS) is one of several preconcentration methods used for early waste rejection from run-of-mine ores at relatively coarse particle sizes prior to additional milling and beneficiation. DMS has been used extensively in the coal, diamond, mineral sands, base metals and iron ore industries to produce either a final product or as …
Dense media cyclones are an integral part of circuits employed for coal processing, iron ore beneficiation, and recovery of diamonds. Many techniques have been applied in studying the separation performance of these devices including the use of different density tracers to develop density partition curves.

The feed is prepared to a specific size range. This is important because the separation in DMS is size sensitive. The prepared feed is mixed with the dense medium (a mixture of powdered ferrosilicon or magnetite in water to create a fluid with a specific density). The mixture is introduced into a cyclone, where a controlled vortex is formed.
