Abstract
The invention is directed to a process for separating particles using a wet density-based separation device, wherein at least part of said particles are coated prior to being fed to said density-based separation device. In accordance with the invention separation medium that is employed in density-based separation processes can be saved.
Claims11
A process for separating particles using a wet density-based separation process, wherein at least part of said particles are coated with a coating material prior to being fed to said wet density-based separation device, wherein said density-based separating process is a Magnetic Density Separation (MDS) process, wherein said coating material comprises a surfactant.
(canceled)
Use of a surfactant comprising stearate for reducing or preventing separation media losses due to adhering fluid leaving a wet density-based separation process, in particular fluid leaving a Magnetic Density Separation (MDS) process.
