About Dense Media Separation of Diamonds Dense media separation is one of the two methods used for diamond recovery that makes use of powdered ferrosilicon. The powdered ferrosilicon is suspended in water, forming a liquid near the density of the diamonds. The diamond-bearing material is then added to the liquid in order for the separation process to start. The heavier minerals will then separate from the lighter material, for easy diamond recovery. This method if very efficient for diamond recovery, and is widely used in mineral mines across the world. DMS Powders has supplied many dense media separation plants with ferrosilicon powder for their application and process needs. DMS Powders produces two types of ferrosilicon products, including: Atomised ferrosilicon: This is a specialised powdered atomised ferrosilicon product which is produced in the process of melting high purity ferrosilicon with scrap and casting into a high-pressure water jet. This high-pressure water atomisation results in a fine particle distribution, which is then separated and classified according to grade. Milled ferrosilicon: Our Milled Ferrosilicon product is created by means of a two-step process which includes melting and milling, and the product is also screened and classified once cooled.
