Ferrosilicon grades and specifications from DMS Powders
Dense Media Separation is a method used in diamond processing, separating diamonds from diamond bearing material. This density separation process requires the use of Ferrosilicon - a fine suspension of solids is used in an aqueous carrier fluid to create a medium of intermediate density, relative to the process feed.
The important properties of the dense suspension or ‘medium’, i.e. powder mixed with water to form heavy liquid, are density, viscosity and stability.
- Medium density: The proportion of Ferrosilicon powders present in the liquid will determine the medium density. Density can thus be increased by adding more Ferrosilicon to the mixture. The density can be reduced by adding water to the pulp.
- Medium viscosity: The viscosity of the medium refers to the resistance to flow. The concentration, shape and size of the Ferrosilicon will ultimately determine to what extent the medium is resistant to flow.
- Medium stability: The tendency of the solids in the medium to settle out is referred to as medium stability. Stability plays a role in determining the behaviour of the medium in the separating process.
There are a number of factors to be taken into consideration in the selection of Ferrosilicon grades. Read through the guidelines on the selection of the medium by DMS Powders, or contact DMS Powders for assistance, to ensure you get the right Ferrosilicon product for your application needs.
