Get PriceOct 17, 2011 DM cyclones are commonly used for separating coal from rock. Fine (minus 45 micron) magnetite is added to water to form a medium. Medium density is adjusted to a value between the density of coal and rock. High density rock moves through the medium to the cyclone wall and out of the apex, while light coal particles enter the overflow stream.
