A method to perform floatandsink test for separation of coal samples of various densities and determination of 'Probable Error' and 'Imperfection' License CC BY Authors: Sushobhan...
The size distribution and floatandsink data produced by the washability analysis of coal samples provide the data to develop partition curves that can be used to predict the performance efficiency of cleaning equipment (Nasir et al. 2012; Souza et al. 2012). Floatandsink tests are widely used for coal analysis, because they can help to ...
Methods of coal cleaning. This project evaluated clean coal products resulting from these three washing methods floatandsink, Roben Jig, and industrial coal plant. Each coal sample was sized into two size fractions: + mm (coarse fraction) and − mm (fine fraction). The coarse fractions were separated using two methods the ...
Float/sink removal of pyrites and mineral matter has been studied to determine the effect of process variables. The effect of various parameters is studied, such as mean residence time, solventtocoal ratio, and heavy medium density. The density of the perchloroethylene solvent is varied using kerosene to study the effects of medium density.
... 22 After this separation, the dense medium is recovered via evaporation and the beneficiated coal is cleaned by washing. 23 Commonly used dense media include organic solutions (carbon...
Coarser fractions were characterized by floatsink test and ultrafine fraction (− mm) by release analysis. Laboratoryscale shaking table tests were performed on the coarser fractions to evaluate the effects of table tilt and water flowrate on clean coal yield, ash, and sulfur.
Figure 1 shows size by size cumulative float curves for the Batac jig feed. It can be observed that each size fraction has different washability characteristics as manifested in the float curves. The curves from right to left indicate better washability characteristics with superior yield of clean coal at a specified ash content, 18% (typically 1719%), as generally targeted by the plants.
the sinkandfloat data for a typical coal and provides an easier way to compare the washability characteristics of different coals quantitatively. 21/2*0.%3. /1'+ Govindarajan and Rao (1994) considered the float fraction of the sinkandfloat analysis as the recovery of two constituents, namely nonash (R N) and ashforming (RA)

With current and future development of fine coal cleaning technology, there is a growing need to determine the washability of coals in extremely fine sizes, in some cases as fine as several microns by zero. ... objective of this work was to develop an understanding regarding the variables affecting the procedure and initiate a process for ...
Final study results of the effectiveness of the Roben Jig process compared to coal washing using the traditional floatandsink method will be available in the fall 2017 on Geoscience BC's website ...
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 ...
The floatandsink method helps in separating coal samples according to the difference in their respective specific gravities in a heavy liquid medium. This heavy fluid separation method is independent of the particle size and only a function of the difference in the densities of two substances.
The lowest residual sulfur levels ever attained by caustic leaching of Illinois No. 6 coal samples have resulted from the application of a combined floatsink/leaching (FL) process in which 50% aqueous NaOH solutions serve as the heavy medium during the floatsink step and as the reagent during subsequent atmospheric pressure leaching.
The strong correlation was obtained between the float and sink test results especially with the ash content of the coal samples and the combustible characteristic of the floated materials such as ...
A general procedure for a centrifugal float and sink test is given in annex A. A typical procedure for treating and testing a sample of raw coal is described in annex B. Some practical hints on float and sink testing are given in annex C.
For the < mm fine coal, an innovative flowsheet consisting of cyclone microbubble column flotation and clean coal filterpress techniques was used; For coarse particles coal of mm ...
The floatsink analysis determines how much coal can be separated from rock and minerals in fluids of different densities. Methods for floatsink analysis are outlined in ASTM method D437106 (American Society for Testing and Materials, 2013, p. 566573).
Before and after this cleaning process, Hardgrove grindability indexes (HGI) of each coal samples (original and clean) were determined. Ash percentages show a decreasing trend by float and sink test for all samples studied as this was aimed and expected, while HGI showed an increase for Zonguldak coals and decrease for Amasra coals.
Laboratory float and sink separation can then be used to characterise the products and indicate the theoretical limits of physical coal desulphurisation. Unfortunately, traditional float and sink procedures become less selective when separating below mm and are particularly difficult for the characterisation of ultrafine particles [2,3,4].
This article presents a detail experimental procedure to perform floatandsink tests for classifying coal samples according to their densities. Moreover, this article emphasizes obtaining 'partition curves' for three different coal samples (heavy media bath, big barrel and small barrel), which helps in evaluating and demonstrating classifier performance. Calculations of independent ...
The degree of both total sulfur and pyritic sulfur reduction obtained was calculated from the chemical analysis of (l) the coal and (2) the clean coal product produced from the floatsink process.
Final study results of the effectiveness of the Roben Jig process compared to coal washing using the traditional floatandsink method will be available in the fall 2017 on Geoscience BC's ...
The behavior of coal in densitybased cleaning processes can be predicted from a series of floatsink (or washability) tests carried out on a crushed sample in the laboratory. The sample is placed in a heavy liquid of known density (, g cm − 3) and the floating fraction skimmed off for weighing and analysis.
