Dense Media Separation Plants and Ferrosilicon – DMS Powders
Dense Media Separation (DMS) plants across the world make use of Ferrosilicon powders for the extraction of diamonds from waste / diamond bearing material. The fact that this process of diamond extraction is so reliable and efficient, makes is a popular method for diamond extraction for diamond processing plants.
Atomised FeSi: Coarse, Fine, Cyclone 60, Cyclone 40, DMS 70
Milled FeSi: 65D, 100D, 150D, 270D, 270F

What is a Dense Medium Separation Plant?
A dense medium separation plant facilitates the process called Dense Media Separation. During this process, gold, diamonds and other gems / minerals will be separated from the waste material, through the use of gravity.
The process requires the use of Ferrosilicon powders, which is mixed with water to form a fine suspension until it reaches the desired density. The diamond or mineral bearing material is the submerged into the fins suspension, in order for dense media separation to take place. Particles that are denser than the medium will report the process underflow as sinks, while less dense particles will report to the process overflow as floats.
There are a range of different Ferrosilicon grades available, as produced by DMS Powders. Ferrosilicon that is used in Dense Media Separation plants need requires sophisticated production and quality assurance techniques. The right chemical composition and physical properties play an important role in the affectivity of the Ferrosilicon on Dense Media Separation processes.
