Topic: Comparative analysis of the impact of imexser and dms powders on dms processes: evaluating chemical and physical properties for enhanced efficiency

What is rationale for doing the chosen project?

This research project is motivated by the imperative to understand how the respective brands behave once they are in circuit, focusing on adhesion and abrasion characteristics. The study also explores the impact on their rheological properties within the circuit, crucial for assessing flow and suspension dynamics.

What is the main the objective of the project?

The project seeks to provide insights that can inform strategies to minimize FeSi loss and FeSi consumption, enhance separation efficiency, and optimize the overall performance of DMS plants by determining which brand works best with the ore treated.

Briefly provide scientific and or chemical engineering principles or insights in your selected topic.

Investigating aspects such as physical and chemical composition, minerology, purity, oxidation, particle size distribution, density and viscosity will provide insights into how these properties influence DMS efficiency. Employing chemical engineering principles like mass transfer, fluid dynamics, mechanical operations, and surface chemistry. The research will delve into how Imexser and DMS Powders impact separation processes in hydro cyclones which employ drag and centrifugal forces. Notably, factors such as particle size and shape can affect settling rates and segregation behavior in a dense medium, while chemical composition can influence particle$-$medium interactions.
