Dense Medium Separation (DMS) is a process used extensively in the minerals processing industry to separate dense from less dense material in a dense fluid. It may be considered to be a simple “sink-float” separation process. DMS is used on a large scale in South African coal, iron ore and diamond operations. There are, however, no commercially available systems that can determine the separation efficiency of a DMS process on-line. This presents severe problems to those operating DMS processes. The present study attempts to provide a measurement technique for on-line application. 2014-10-11T12:05:56Z 2014-10-11T12:05:56Z 1989 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8338 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
