Method for determining the concentration of ferrosilicon in suspension for dense medium separation process

Abstract

Abstract In Russia, dumps of diamond-bearing deposits are characterized by a high content of secondary modified non-magnetic kimberlite minerals of fine size classes (-0.05 mm), the presence of which negatively affects their processing by methods of dense media separation. In the present work, the possibility of determining the concentration of ferrosilicon in a continuous process of dense medium separation by measuring the magnetic properties of a suspension was investigated As a result of experimental studies, the dependences of volumetric concentration of ferrosilicon on the magnetic moment of various grades were obtained, which made it possible to measure the concentration of ferrosilicon in a continuous process of dense media separation by measuring the magnetic properties of the suspension.
