It can be seen that after the completion of 180 s of flotation, the ash recovery increased from % in tap water to % in NB water. Given the fine and hydrophilic nature of kaolinite particles and the low ash content of the clean coal, the majority of the mineral matter (ash) recovered should be via entrainment.

In this study, the sinkfloat tests (heavy media sepn.) were applied to increase the quality of coal samples so that the ash and the impurities could be removed using a high ashsulfur content coal sample (% ash, % S and calorific value 3185 ) taken from TKI (Turkish Coal Enterprises) Can (Canakkale, Turkey) lignite coalfield.
Coal cleaning characteristics of coal depend on three main parameters such as coal liberation, coal washability, and separator performance. Coal consists of organic matter which has a low density of g/cc and mineral matter or shale with a high density of g/cc.
The semibright, semidull, and dull coal were extremely difficult to wash. Comparing the washability and mineral content of the six coals, it can be seen that the YQ9SB and GZ9DC coals with the highest mineral content have extremely difficult washability, and the YQ15BC coal with the least mineral content has also extremely difficult washability.

A method for separating particles of different specific gravity from a sized ore feed, wherein the ore can be coal, metallic, nonmetallic and mineral ores. The method particles from the ore are sieved to obtain size fractions of different particle size ranges, after which a load of particles of a size fraction are placed in a container and fluidized by passing a fluid flow through the load of ...
Washability characteristics have been traditionally assessed using the floatsink (washability) tests. These analyses determine how much of coal can be separated from associated rock (mineral matter) in liquids of different densities. However, the test work requires a wet processing where organic liquids, referred to as heavy liquids are used.
The process of separating particulate materials on the basis of their specific gravities is referred to as gravity separation. The objective of the coal washability principle is to develop routine protocols that include the floatandsink test, ash analysis, and evaluation of partition curves to obtain maximum possible separation performances for a given mineral (or coal) feed [1, 2].

The conventional floatsink and reflux classification methods used were shown to successfully eliminate liberated minerals and produced maceralrich float fractions (98%) macerals. The main differences between the feed coals were related to the mode of occurrence of mineral matter.
The reported highash content (>80%) in the density fraction lying between and g/cm 3 indicated the presence of substantial mineral matter. Its high quartz content (72% of the ash content) is accompanied by clay minerals indicating a more inert geochemical environment when compared with the bulk discards.
Classification of Coal. Coal constitutes a heterogeneous mixture of transformed organic vegetal matter and associated inorganic materials. It is rich in carbon and mineral matter. Coalification refers to the series of processes involved during the transformation of this organic vegetation into coal.
