o:5971 The Role of wing tank in DMS process en Abstract: Wing tank represents a specifically designed sump of centrifugal slurry pump, that has a special role in the dense media separation process. The common case is that the mixture of ore and media (suspension) is pumped from the wing tank into the DM cyclone, where the raw material is further separated into heavy and light fractions. This paper provides a brief overview of the function of the wing tank, as well as the calculation of several possible variants of media flowrate and velocity through the seal leg of wing tank. In this way, the potential distribution of material was determined, that is, the amount of medium that will go into the further separation process, or will be separated in the overflow, at a variable height of the overflow threshold. Keywords: dense media separation, wing tank, suspension velocity. 91552100 138158601 1552100 978-86-6305-140-9 2024-11-02T20:32:22.437Z 44 no 46 Ivana Jovanović Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor 79412745 0000-0002-7450-6632 2023 46 Dragan Milanović Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor 6197863 2023 46 Oliver Dimitrijević Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor 109964809 0000-0002-9573-1943 2023 46 Vesna Conić Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor 55525641 0000-0002-4268-3626 2023 46 Igor Svrkota Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor 85399049 0000-0002-3779-6327 2023 application/pdf 2426763 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:5971 no yes 1 70 622:539.12 92000004 71A03 Proceedings International October Conference on Mining and Metallurgy (54 ; 2023 ; Borsko jezero) 493 496 2023
