Fundamentals on the spigot capacity of dense medium cyclones
Dense medium cyclones separate particles primarily according to their differences in density, and are used in the beneficiation of coal, iron ore, and diamonds, amongst others. The cyclone can, however, be constrained by the ore carrying capacity of the spigot, especially for ores in which a significantly large proportion of the feed particles ...
