Grades of Ferrosilicon supplied by DMS Powders


DMS Powders produces Ferrosilicon in different grades, used in dense media separation in diamond processing plants. The grade of ferrosilicon is determined by the following characteristics:

  • Medium DensityThe ratio of Ferrosilicon solids in the medium directly determines the medium density, which can be increased or reduced by adding more Ferrosilicon or water to reach the desired density.
  • Medium ViscosityThe medium viscosity is determined by the medium’s resistance to flow (the consistency). Thus, the higher the medium density, the higher the medium viscosity will be.
  • Medium StabilityThe medium stability is determined by the tendency of the solids present in the medium to settle out. A high stability medium is achieved by a high concentration of solids, fine particles size in distribution and irregular shaped particles (milled Ferrosilicon) amongst others.
  • Selection of the MediumIt is important to select the correct grade of medium for the specific separation application, that will fit the specific requirements of the diamond processing, dense media separation plant. The following aspects play a role in the selection of the ferrosilicon grade: density of separation required, size of ore to be treated, sharpness of separation required, and costs. Let DMS Powders assist you to obtain the best Ferrosilicon products for your application needs.
