Nonetheless, a universal rule to describe the specific effect of solids loading rate in cyclones may not exist. This is because, even ...
Advances in Dense Medium Cyclone Plant Design
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, …
