The heavy medium cyclone process, due to strong centrifugal forces, effectively separates particles varying only slightly in specific gravity but widely in size. Separation efficiency is discussed and assessed, as is the influence of such factors as medium solids. The operating results of nine heavy medium cyclone plants, each handling a different mineral, are reported., The heavy medium cyclone process, due to strong centrifugal forces, effectively separates particles varying only slightly in specific gravity but widely in size.
