Rheology of Low Density Suspensions in Dense Medium Separation of Post-consumer PlasticsFootnote∗
∗A Note from the Editors: Although the above paper deals with the separation of plastics, it was included in Coal Preparation because of its similarity to the densemedium separation of coal. In both cases, dense-medium separations are done using magnetite systems at low densities under dynamic conditions. Under such conditions, the viscosity and stability of the dense-medium suspension play key role in determining separation efficiency. Hence, the rheological and performance data obtained from the separation of plastics may be directly applicable to coal separation, albeit at somewhat higher medium densities.
