An inertinite-rich, medium rank bituminous waste coal from a processing coal plant in the Middleburg region, South Africa. A 3 L bottom-driven Leeds batch flotation cell. Dodecane as collector and potassium amyl xanthate as collector: 75% passing 150 μm: 0.32–0.41: Combustible recovery minus ash recovery in the range from 8.71% to 15.54%: 34.4
There are fundamental differences between the forward and reverse coal flotation. In the case of the forward flotation, the clean coal is recovered as a froth product that is made hydrophobic with the use of various flotation reagents.
It was determined that the installation of the flotation columns at the Middle Fork facility led to a reduction in concentrate ash of approximately 7 percentage points and an increase in combustible recovery in excess of 15 percentage points.

Eriez Flotation has designed, supplied and commissioned more than 1,000 flotation systems worldwide for cleaning, roughing and scavenging applications in metallic and non-metallic processing operations, and we are a leading producer of modular column flotation systems for recovering bitumen from oil sands.
Column flotation (for very fine coal). 9 ... SOUTH AFRICA COAL RESERVES ... CFBC POWER PLANT ROM COAL Integrated Plant Techno-Economic Analysis : 34 ECONOMICS OF USING WASHED COAL Option Fuel COE (Paise/kWh) A 40% ash ROM coal (Base) 154.99 A1 Washed to 34% ash + Reject in FBC 161.17
The results of characterisation studies indicate that the coal fines contained 19.8% ash and d {sub 80} is 450 microns. Washability data reveals that the coal fines have got the potential to yield 85% of clean coal with 10% ash. The flotation column gave better performance than the cell.
The Jameson Cell was developed to overcome the design and operating inadequacies of conventional flotation cells and column cells. And from its first installation it has been continuously improved to make it easier to use. Designs are now at Mark V.
This chapter begins with a consideration of the economic drivers behind the differences in design of plants treating coal destined for thermal and metallurgical coal …
With the same collector and frother dosages, the ash content levels of clean coal produced by the two flotation devices were close, while the yield of the flotation column (84.49%) were much ...
The goal of this project is to improve the efficiency of fine coal cleaning and maximize sulfur and ash rejection using column flotation and enhanced gravity separation, either in combination or separately. In light of this goal, the project objectives are: 1. To determine the circuitry arrangement, which uses column flotation
Flotation cell and flotation column are widely used as the separation equipment for coal slime. In order to obtain better flotation results for different particle sizes, different...
Abstract. Flotation of coal and sulphur from a typical South African ultrafine colliery waste has been achieved in laboratory-scale batch flotation tests, using dodecane, kerosene, and oleic acid ...
In January this year Fraser Alexander was awarded a new R1 billion BOOT coal washing plant contract for one of South Africa's major coal miners. It will be the company's largest project to date and will see the total number of plants it operates on a BOOM/BOOT model increase to six. "This contract will also increase our monthly …
in overall plant clean coal yield occurs on the basis of the product ash content constraint from the installation of flotation columns. For both plants, greater than 3% weight unit increase in the amount of coal recovered from the plant can be realized if product ash content is the only critical product quality constraint.
Flotation cell and flotation column are widely used as the separation equipment for coal slime. In order to obtain better flotation results for different particle sizes, different...
Flotation columns comprise a tall tank, in which the separation between froth and pulp occurs, an aeration system, a pulp level control system, a wash water system, a discharge barometric leg and a set of control instruments, besides pipe connections for feed, concentrate and tailings. Figure 1 illustrates a typical column.
The test results showed that the column cell was capable of producing a concentrate grade of coking quality. Frother concentration was found to exert the largest …

Mohanty reported that the moisture content of the clean coal product was affected by both feed solids content and pool depth in a screen bowl centrifuge with a diameter of 0.5 m. The recovery of clean …
Today column flotation has become . an accepted means of froth flotation for a fairly broad range of applications, in particular the cleaning of sulfides (copper, zinc, lead and …
The major coal desulphurization technologies prior to combustion are physical coal cleaning, chemical and biological methods. Each has some technical and economical limitations. Physical coal cleaning can only remove limited amount of inorganic sulphur due to insufficient liberation. Fine grinding can liberate fine pyrites, where novel coal ...
Flotation of coal and sulphur from South African ultrafine colliery wastes environmental footprint of coal mines will need to be reduced as far as ARD is concerned. In view of its …
The plant selected for this project, Cyprus Emerald Coal Preparation Plant, cleans 1200-1400 tph of Pittsburgh seam raw coal …
Column flotation provides excellent recovery of ultrafine coal while producing low ash content concentrates. However, like other flotation processes, column flotation is not efficient for treating fine coal containing significant amounts of mixed-phase particles. Current studies have shown that mixed-phased particles

In coal flotation, only collectors and frothers are generally used as chemical reagents. The collector enhances the hydrophobic property of coal. Kerosene or No 2 fuel oil are usually used as collectors, while aliphatic alcohols such as MIBC (methyl isobutyl carbinol) and glycols are normally used as frothers.
