ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for selecting magnetite to form a dense media for beneficiation of fine particulate solids such that the particulate solids are as buoyant with respect to the dense media as if the solids were in a true liquid having a specific gravity equal to that of the dense media. The method involves determining a magnetite particle diameter such that the diameter ratio of particulate solid to magnetite lies above a diameter ratio partition curve. The invention is also directed toward using magnetite having a particle diameter less than about 0.005 mm and a mean particle diameter of about 0.0025 mm. Such magnetite is formed from a gas phase pyrohydrolysis reaction on an aqueous iron (ferrous) chloride solution. The present invention is further directed towards a method for determining the efficiency of separation of a dense media separation process. This method includes determining an apparent distance a particle must travel in a dense media cyclone to be correctly beneficiated. From this apparent distance, an apparent velocity a particle must achieve to be correctly beneficiated is calculated. This apparent velocity is used, along with cyclone geometry and operational parameters to calculate a divergence value which indicates the efficiency of separation. The present invention also includes a method for selecting cyclone geometry and operating parameters which includes determining separation efficiency and adjusting geometry and parameters in a manner to obtain improved efficiency.
