Coal washing Coal that comes from a mine is a complex mixture of materials with a large variety of physical properties. In addition to the coal itself, pieces of rock, sand, and various minerals are contained in the mixture. Thus, before coal can be sold to consumers, it must be cleaned. The cleaning process consists of a number of steps that results in a product that is specifically suited to ...

Densemedium (magnetite in the case of coal), a slurry/suspension having a relative density intermediate to that of valuable mineral and gangue, is generally used as the medium of separation in most coal preparation plants. The medium, being costly, plays a crucial role in determining the economics of any preparation operation.

Most widely used process in washing of coal. Disadvantages of dense medium process 1. It is inefficient in cleaning small size coal as the viscosity of media effects these sizes and reduces the capacity of the plant. 2. ...

Introduction. A coal dense medium separation (DMS) plant makes use of the principle of density separation to upgrade mined coal and produce metallurgical coal or power station coal. The objective of the DMS plant operation is to produce coal product within a minimum quality specification and maximum possible yield (England et al., 2002).

Power plant fly ash, a highvolume waste product of pulverized coal combustion, contains a magnetic fraction which can be easily separated and has a high market potential. The fly ash from most of the bituminous coals contains 15 to 20 weight percent iron oxides, 50% or more of which can be recovered by dry magnetic separation as a high ...

Commercial magnetite often contains significant amounts of α and γFe 2 O 3, in addition to magnetite. As αFe 2 O 3 is nonmagnetic, it is not removed in the magnetic separator and is discharged in the refuse. It is believed that this is the cause for much of the loss of heavy media experienced in the coal cleaning plants.

The first washing methods were imported from Europe, The "Chance" washer, in which the density differences between coal and mineral matter was exploited to clean raw coal was introduced in 1918. The Chance washer utilized sand and water as a medium. Today, the "heavymedia" process using magnetite is standard for coarse coal cleaning.
