A non-coking coal sample of vitrinite type from India was ground to 44 µm (d 80) and subjected to column flotation to improve its quality. The non-coking coal analyzing 34.6 % ash, 26.2 % volatile matter, 1.3 % moisture and 37.9 % fixed carbon could be upgraded to a concentrate/froth of 14.83 % ash at 72.18 % yield by optimizing collector …

Intelligent separation is a core technology in the transformation, upgradation, and high-quality development of coal. Realising the intelligent recognition and accurate classification of coal flotation froth is a key technology of intelligent separation. At present, the coal flotation process relies on artificial recognition of froth features for adjusting the …

Ash content is an important index to evaluate product quality and adjust equipment parameters in coal flotation. Coal ash determination standards [[4], [5], [6]] require complex procedures, including sampling, drying, sample preparation, burning, weighting and calculation. This complex process is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Coal is often coated by kaolinite in flotation, leading to a decrease in the quality of clean coal. The structure of the mineral dets. its properties and flotation behavior. Therefore, to remove the kaolinite from coal efficiently, the difference in mineralogical characteristics between non-coal and coal kaolinite were analyzed using …

ABSTRACT . Flotation is commonly used to treat fine coal (typically below 500 microns in size) and is a complex, three-phase process that is controlled by factors which can be …

The price of crude coal plays the most important role in the determination of the energy charge rate (the price of 1 unit or 1 kW h −1 of electricity for domestic use), while the quality of coal determines proper combustion and operational efficiency of the boiler. 5 Thus, good-quality coal is essential to avoid problems such as slagging and ...

The standard practice on coal in England has been to use cell-to-cell "Sub-A" Flotation Machines of the double overflow type. Several hundred of the large No. 30 cells (100 cu. ft./cell) are in use. Super-charging is not generally used. Flotation is carried out at low solids, usually under 10% dilution.

The third flotation test performed. by coal laboratories is known as Ultimate Froth Flotation and is performed in a large sump (Fig. 10.17) filled with 12 L of water and up to 1200 g of dry solids. During this test the coal slurry, with a particle size less than 0.500 wedge wire (w/w), is continuously recirculated by a pump from the mixing sump ...

Although massive studies have been conducted on investigating flotation parameters such as flotation reagents, pulp conditions, relatively less have been reported on the water type and …

With the consumption of high-quality coal resources, their large scale separation from low-quality coal has become a strategic choice to ensure energy security and the high quality, green development of the coal industry. Flotation, which takes advantage of the differences in the physical and chemical properties of particle surfaces, …
