The Linhuan coal preparation plant in China has four FJC-16 flotation machines (Figure 1). However, the ash content of clean coal from flotation machines was very high and did not meet the user's requirements. The coal preparation plant urgently needed to optimize the coal flotation process to improve the quality of clean coal.
The maximum clean coal yield (79.6%) and maximum value of the flotation kinetics constant were obtained within 10 min of ultrasonic pretreatment. The hydrophilic oxidized layer on the coal surface was effectively removed by ultrasonic cavitation, as identified by PSD, SEM, XPS, and contact angle, which increased the flotability and recovery of ...
Introduction. 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 in size [1,2].This process is widely applied in countries such as China, USA, Australia, Canada and India [].Flotation columns are extensively studied and used as an …

Large-scale application of filled coal mining technology has long been limited by conditions such as the cost of filling. Compared to traditional filling materials, coal flotation tailing filling materials (CFTFM) offers advantages such as low cost and excellent performance. The Box–Behnken response surface method was used to investigate the …
In an attempt to encourage the acceptance of this technique as a standard for characterizing flotation performance, release analysis has been carried out on a variety of U.S. coals including Pittsburgh No. 8, Upper Freeport and Illinois No. 6. Tests conducted as a function of various frother types and frother and collector dosages indicate that ...
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 high efficiency of a froth flotation process is limited to a narrow particle size range. Nanobubbles integrated into a specially designed flotation column expanded the particle size range for effective froth flotation as a result of increased probabilities of particle-bubble collision and attachment and reduced probability of detachment. Results …
The results showed that a much lower dosage of these nonionic surfactants was required to achieve the same coal recovery as compared with dodecane. Most …
Coal Flotation with Nonionic Surfactants. G. H. Harris, J. Diao, D. Fuerstenau. Published 1995. Chemistry, Environmental Science, Materials Science. Coal Preparation. Abstract The flotation response of two high-sulfur coals to a variety of collectors was studied in detail using a 2-liter Denver flotation cell. In comparison with dodecane as the ...
The concept for the advanced preparation of clean coal was developed, tested and proved. The main steps of this concept are the ultra-fine liberation in the stirred-media mill, the de ...
The flotation test studies showed that, under the condition of similar ash content of clean coal, the yield of clean coal floated by the HB-MC was 1.42% higher than that of n-dodecane, and its dosage was 18.18% of that of n-dodecane. Moreover, the flotation of long flame coal slime using HB-MC without adding frother.
1. Introduction. Coal flotation can recover coal (<0.5 mm) and increase economic efficiency based on differences in surface properties between coal and inorganic minerals [1], [2].The flotation reagents play a significant role in the flotation process [3], [4].Some studies have pointed out that microorganisms or extracellular polymeric …
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 divided into three facets: coal, chemistry and machine. It is most often used for treating metallurgical coal fines where the value of the product can justify the added ...
Abstract. There is currently a need to develop efficient and environmentally friendly (green) collectors to improve the poor flotation performance of long-flame coal (LFC) due to its vast porosity and high oxidation degree. Herewith, this study introduces ozone (O 3) and ultraviolet (UV) oxidation methods to modify waste cooking oil collector ...
A coking coal sample collected from the flotation feed of a coal preparation plant located in Lu'an, Shanxi province of China was investigated. The characters including mineral composition, size fraction, density fraction, and contact angle were analyzed. Classified and unclassified conditioning tests were carried out using different size ...
Why Coal Preparation? Remove extraneous, non-combustible material. Ash reduction. lower particulates. reduced ash handling at power station. Sulfur reduction (lower SO X …
The preparation process of EWFOC was optimized, and its performance was compared to that of a common collector (diesel) and waste fried oil collector (WFOC) in the flotation of long-flame coal ...
In order to get the most realistic information about the composition and dynamics of bacterial communities in the coal flotation industry, sampling was conducted in a coal preparation plant in Changzhi, Shanxi, China. The coal cleaning process in this plant can be divided into three steps as illustrated in Fig. 1: 1. Raw coal (RC) entered …
1.. IntroductionConventional froth flotation for fine coal cleaning suffers mainly from two problems: (i) a lack of selectivity for fast floating high rank coals due to the flotation of middlings and entrainment of mineral fines in the froth, and (ii) low recoveries for heavily oxidized or low rank coals due to poor adhesion between bubbles and particles.

Abstract. The efficiency of the coal flotation process in separating fine particles is primarily influenced by the type of reagent selected. The efforts made for improved recovery of carbonaceous material with minimal ash in clean coal are endless. Today, the coal preparation industry is striving hard through several routes to improve the clean ...
The potential of the present method was demonstrated through methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) concentration measurement at six different locations across an industrial coal flotation circuit.

Coal preparation is one of the main methods to obtain clean coal, among which flotation is an effective technique to reduce ash and sulphur content in coal (Cai et al., 2020, Chelgani et al., 2016, Cheng et al., 2023d, Zhang, 2011, Zhu et al., 2021).
Flotation tests showed that the oil-saving rate of the emulsified kerosene could reach two thirds with same yield of clean coal. Meanwhile, the flotation speed of the emulsified kerosene was faster, the yield of clean coal increased by 7.38%, and the coal ash reduced by 0.98% with same dosage.

The findings demonstrate that altering the flow field pattern enhances the turbulence in the flotation machine's mixing zone, enhances the velocity distribution of the three-phase fluid at the bottom of the flotation tank, and fosters bubble-particle contact, collision, and adhesion. This can successfully reduce the clean coal ash content.
