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 float-and-sink test, ash analysis, and evaluation of partition curves to obtain maximum possible separation performances for a …
Sink-float tests are widely used for coal analysis, since they can help to estimate the coal accessibility through the gravity concentration. The data obtained from such tests are used to analyze the contents of ash, volatile matter, moisture and sulfur, and also to plot the washability curves, such as: density curve, cumulative float-ash and sink …

The washability de gree and separation process of the sink-and-float test were calculated as indicated in table 1 and figure 5 using equations 3 and 4 [16- 18]: N= w (a-b)/a (3)
A float sink test is a destructive test, so usually only one test is performed per sample. In this process, the single float sink test per sample act as a deterministic evaluation of the washability characteristics. A single float sink test gives an incomplete understanding of the washability of the coal as it is not sufficient to describe how

Washability curves using the monthly comprehensive floating and sinking data and the fast test data are shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 3. The theoretical yield of clean coal with an ash content of 9% was calculated. The washability curves based on the monthly comprehensive floating and sinking data are shown in Fig. 2. The fitting error, curve β, is …
Washability analysis determines the density of coal as well as the quality of coal to simulate what the mine can expect once the coal is mechanically cleaned thru a coal …

Abstract. This article presented an experimental research on washability of microcrystal graphite using float–sink tests. Chemical and X-ray analyses showed that …
Ash yield represents part of the original mineral matter in coal that does not combust. Ash yield is an important parameter for steam coals and for coals used in industrial furnaces. Increasing ash yield corresponds to lower heating (calorific) value. Most steam coals used for electricity require less than 20 percent ash content (air-dried ...
The behavior of coal in density-based cleaning processes can be predicted from a series of float-sink (or washability) tests carried out on a crushed sample in the laboratory. The …
Coal. Float-Sink (Washability) Test. Float-sink tests are done on samples of coal from beds that will likely need washing ( beneficiation, preparation) to remove sulfur or ash (rock and mineral matter) from the coal to meet the desired specifications of the end …

The results of float–sink tests revealed that: for the −25 + 0.5 mm size fraction, about 68% (by weight) of microcrystal graphite was obtained at the density of 2.0 g/cm 3, and the float product met the standard of commercial grade W65; for the −0.5 mm size fraction, 58% (by weight) of microcrystal graphite was floated at the density of 2 ...
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 1.2–1.5 g/cc and mineral matter or shale with a high density of 2.4–2.8 g/cc.
FLOAT-SINK (WASHABILITY) TESTING. Washability characteristics of coal are generated from float/sink analysis of core samples, as mined samples, or from preparation plant feed samples. In addition to the float/sink analysis, SGS can perform froth recovery testing on the finer sizes. If a coal contains a high percentage of middlings material, …
