DMS Cyclone Efficiency Factors: The De Beers Perspective

Diamonds have a density of 3.5 g/cm3, in an ideal diamond separation the material above the density of 3.3 g/cm3 has to report to sinks. Figure 1 indicates that as the feed rate is varied the separation efficiency deteriorates especially near the diamond density material of 3.5 g/cm3; this indicates that as feed rate increases

What is a DMS Plant?

A DMS plant, or Dense Media Separation Plant, involves a process that uses the principle of gravity to separate materials with different densities. Dense Media Separation is an efficient initial process to separate diamonds from diamond bearing material, after which the material will be further processes for the final diamond recovery.
