Abstract The influence of four factors—the reagent consumption, the pulp density, the content of fine slurry in the coal pulp, and the flotation time—on the flotation of coal fines at MMK-Ugol is studied by means of a full factorial experiment. First-order regression equations are obtained by simulation; the response functions selected in …
The introducing of salt solution into the coal flotation process therefore attracted researcher's attention due to the significantly greater flotation performance. However, to date, there are only a few studies investigating the improved combustible coal recovery due to the application of recycled saline water.

The process effectively removed over 95 percent of the pyritic sulfur in the coal. Reclamation of pyritic sulfur would eliminate stream pollution by acid water drainage and other environmental problems. Reducing the inorganic sulfur in coal to tolerable limits by physical beneficiation, including flotation, as now practiced, still is relatively ...
The coal industry is facing the challenge of treating high-ash fine coal. In this study, we proposed an effective method to handle high-ash fine coal using water containing positively charged nanobubbles (PCNBs) and polyaluminum chloride (PAC). For comparison, normal nanobubble (NB) water was tested in parallel. Flotation results …
Froth flotation is a physiochemical process that exploits the selectivity of the attachment of air bubbles to organic coal particle surfaces and in the nonattachment to mineral constituents. Surfactants are used to create a hydrophobic surface on the coal particles to be floated, and a "collector," typically fuel oil, is used to promote ...
The flotation process helps in the removal of impurities, such as sulfur and ash, which are detrimental to the quality of coal. By selectively floating coal particles while leaving the mineral matter behind, the process enhances the …
Coal has in general a wide range of density from minus 1.3 to plus 2.0 g/cm 3 because of its variations in purity, rank, and porosity, etc. The coal density has great impact on froth flotation performance, but much less attention has been paid to …
The flotation circuit consists of a single flotation cell with 16 downcomers. It is to be noted that there may be a large variation in the yield of coal from the flotation circuit due to the numerous seams treated. However, the ash produced upon combustion of the flotation coal product is about 10% of the coal weight.
Coal flotation is a complex multiphase process governed by different sub-processes and interphase interactions. The coal cleaning efficiency by flotation is largely affected by many different ...
Flotation is a complex multifaceted process that can be separated into three main areas: the coal, the chemistry and the machine, as shown in Figure 1. To solve plant issues it is important to understand how different factors within these areas affect and control flotation performance for a particular system. Factors within the coal and
Filtration and dewatering of flotation products is a very complicated process, which is affected by many factors, such as feed properties, operation parameters and equipment stability. Reducing the moisture content of flotation coal is a problem worth studying, because it is closely related to the applicability of flotation method. 3.4.2.
In the process of coal preparation, flotation is used to separate the ash-forming mineral matter and the carbonaceous materials of fine coal below 0.5 mm …
1. Introduction. Flotation is an effective method to recover fine coal slime .The low momentum of ultrafine coal particles, which produced from the processes of mining, transporting, and crushing, lead to a serious flotation problem because the low probability of attachment between the particles and bubbles,, .. Researchers,,, have …
The poor flotation efficiency of low-rank coal in the flotation process is due to the large and rich pore structure on its surface. In this study, the changes in the pore structure before and after pore compression pretreatment were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller anal. The effects on the flotation were ...
Flotation as a concentration process has been extensively used for a number of years. However, little is known of it as an exact science, although, various investigators have been and are doing much to place it on a more scientific basis. ... A coal tar creosote oil slightly more viscous than Barrett No. 4. Insoluble in water. Undiluted liquid ...
Coal flotation is a complex process involving several phases (particles, oil droplets and air bubbles). These phases simultaneously interact with each other and with …
Coal flotation is commonly carried out with a combination of an oily collector (e.g., fuel oil) and a frother (e.g., MIBC). All coal flotation systems require the addition of a frother to …
Flotation is widely used to separate valuable minerals from the rock and fine coal particles from clay, silt, shale, and other ash-producing matter. It is usually preceded by crushing and finely grinding the ore to liberate valuable particles in a host rock, and may be followed by metallurgical processes.
Remarks on Coal Beneficiation Process and Diagram. "Sub-A" Coal Flotation Systems have been successful for recovery of both coarse and fine coal. It is important, however, to employ a two-stage circuit for maximum efficiency in saving the plus 28 mesh fraction which is normally the most difficult to float.
As discussed earlier, natural coal contains a considerable amount of impurities, which demands its physico-chemical enhancement for an improvement in its properties and reduction in the probable pollution triggered by coal combustion. 29 Among the various methods, froth flotation is the most effective process for upgrading low-rank coal ...
The study was extended to the flotation of an auriferous refractory ore where similar observations were made. 62.7% rejection of pyrite was achieved in the staged flotation process. View Show abstract
On the other hand, the flotation process has been considered one of the most effective physical–chemical procedures to purify fine and ultra-fine coals and produce coal concentrate with low ash and sulfur contents (Dong et al., 2017, Hazlioglu, 2011, Onel and Tanriverdi, 2020, Xia et al., 2015).
A clean coal product with an ash content of 12.33% and an appreciable yield of 32.34% could be obtained using this process. Yu et al. proposed a separation process of coal flotation tailing, namely reverse flotation–grinding–re-separation, to obtain the clean coal product with a yield of 25% and an ash content of 13.96%. It is worth noting ...
Flotation is one of the most effective technologies for the up-gradation of coal fines of particle size below 0.5 mm because of the inherent hydrophobic nature of coal.Contrary to this, reverse flotation of coal in which coal particles are depressed and gangue particles floated, was developed as an alternative process to minimise the …
