In this study, time-dependent performance of heavy-medium cyclone were determined
with sink-float testing of the clean coal and the refused samples taken from cyclone feeding
at Buruyar coal company located at Manisa-Soma Region. The samples taken from coal
mines located at Denizli-Çivril region were firstly classified, and then subjected to floatsink test for washability assessment. Finally, hourly changes in the amount of clean coal and
refuse recovered from processing of Denizli-Çivril coals with the dense media cyclone were
determined using both classic simulation and modeling methods depending on performance
values of the dense media cyclone. The results obtained from both methods were compared.
