· The dense medium cyclones for washing +0.5mm coal usually operate at a minimum feed pressure head of at least nine times the cyclone diameter, D. Larger cyclones treating wider size ranges may need a far higher pressure head than 9D. The usual range of feed pressure for dense medium cyclones is 0.4 to 0.8 kg/[cm.sup.2] (40-80 kPa).

 · Two-Product Dense Media Cyclone working principle: The coal and gangue in the heavy medium cyclone are affected by gravity and centrifugal force. When the particle density is greater than the density of the suspension, the direction of the acting force is the same as the direction of centrifugal acceleration.

The tested material was obtained from the feed stream to a water-only cyclone circuit treating nominal -0.6mm bituminous coal refuse material obtained from an existing waste pile. A 76.2 mm (3 in) diameter cyclone was used for all tests, which were carried out at three medium relative densities, with and without ultrasonic treatment.
