Ferrosilicon for Iron Ore Processing – DMS Powders

DMS Powders

Ferrosilicon for Iron Ore Processing


Ferrosilicon, an alloy of Silicon and Iron (FeSi), is a product used in the processing of iron ores and other minerals. The Ferrosilicon is used in the process of Heavy Medium Separation, which facilitates the separation of iron ore from other material.

DMS Powders manufacture Ferrosilicon for use in Dense / Heavy Medium Separation, supplying products in various grades and specifications. You will get the best Ferrosilicon products for your iron ore separation process from DMS Powders. Contact DMS Powders today for more information about our Ferrosilicon products for your Heavy Medium Separation process.

DMS Powders:

Heavy Medium Separation for Iron Ore Processing


Dense Medium or Heavy Medium Separation is an effective process that is used for the initial or further separation of iron ore,  diamonds and other minerals from mineral-bearing material extracted from mines. This process involves separation via gravity, and is also referred to as the sink-float method. As the name suggests, gravity is used to separate the different materials with different densities. Heavier material will sink to the bottom, while lighter material will float. This method is very effective when it comes to mineral processing and separation techniques, as it is easy, efficient and cost-effective.

Because the density of minerals vary, different Ferrosilicon products are required for different processes. DMS Powders manufacture a selection of Ferrosilicon powder with different behavioural characteristics, which include Density, Viscosity and Stability, which are interrelated.

DMS Powders manufacture Milled and Atomised Ferrosilicon products for Heavy Medium Separation processes. Milled Ferrosilicon is milled to achieve particles of specific sizes, and is available in 65D, 100D, 150D, 270D and 270F. Atomised Ferrosilicon is achieved through a different process that involved atomised steam, in order to get more spherical shaped particles. Atomised Ferrosilicon from DMS Powders is available in Coarse, Fine, Cyclone 60, Cyclone 40 and DMS 70.
