The 'Sink' and 'Float' products are unloaded continuously from the chutes of the Drum Separator on a drainage and washing screen in order to remove the Ferrosilicon or Magnetite adhering to the surfaces of the material. After a suitable regeneration, the heavy media is recirculated inside the Drum Separator. SEPARATION PLANTS BY SINK ...

Material that is smaller than 2 mm and cannot enter the heavy media will be sent to the flotation line, which takes place after the milling operation. The main heavy media is produced by a French manufacturer and is controlled manually. The operating parameters of the machine include the density of the heavy media, which is as much as 2.6 g/m3.

Dolomite is floated with sodium salt of sulfonated oleic acid in the pH range of 5.5 to 6.0. Even though this process has been tested on a pilot plant scale, IMC is not proceeding with its application commercially. Instead, they are in the process of building a heavy media separation plant.

The Heavy Media Drum (HMD) consisting of a cylindrical drum with conical sections on each end, feed chute, sinks launder and perforated lifters is used for heavy media separation of feed materials within a size range of 10 - 300mm. The drum rotates on two forged steel tyres located on the outer circumference of the drum. The drum is

A variety of collectors and depressants have been previously used to improve their separation in acidic or alkaline media. In the present study, the flotation of dolomite and magnesite in acidic to neutral pH was investigated using oleate as collector and hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid as pH regulator.

The oxidation of heavy oil (HOO) during In-situ combustion (ISC) within the porous media of reservoir rock matrix is a critical process. Although previous research has individually investigated the catalytic capabilities of clay minerals (e.g., kaolinite) and carbonate minerals (e.g., dolomite) in HOO, their combined influence remains unexplored.
