COAL. The Eriez Flotation Division (EFD) offers a complete line of column and hybrid flotation technologies engineered for coal and minerals processing industries. The CoalPro® benefits coal producers with low capital and operating cost and ease of operation. The CoalPro with SlamJet™ sparging technology has no large aeration pumps, no large feed or recirculation pumps and no .
Typical commercial coal froth flotation operations provide a pH adjustment of the aqueous coal slurry prior to and/or during flotation to a value of about 4 to about 9 and preferably about 4 to 8. Such a pH adjustment generally promotes the greatest coal recovery, .
[PDF]Low density material is clean coal while high density material is reject rock. Coal washing is accomplished by one of two major processes, by density separation or by froth flotation. Both processes depend on the fact that the particles of which a coal sample are made have different densities.
A flotation circuit's performance is affected by both pulp and froth phase recovery. And it is inherent in mining operations that manual control by operators who look at the cell surface periodically and then take action does not really maintain stable operating conditions.
Flotation of Pyrite from Coal. In the 2nd stage, the froth product from the 1st stage is subjected to froth flotation by using a coal flotation depressant and a pyrite flotation collector, thus removing most of the fine pyrite. Thus, 100 lb of coal containing ash 31.8, Total s 2.23 and pyritic s 1.70 pct was ground and floated at ph 6.2 By using...
Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry.
Frothers & Froth Flotation. The importance of frothers in mineral flotation is widely acknowledged in the mining industry. Frothers perform the following key functions in the froth flotation process: Reduce surface tension of the liquid-gas interface to enable froth formation Hinder coalescence in order to stabilize bubble size Facilitate...

Froth flotation is used in many Australian coal handling and preparation plants (CHPP) for upgrading fine and ultrafine coal. Although coal and sulphide ore flotation .
The Eriez Flotation Division has supplied more than 900 flotation columns throughput the world in mineral concentrating and purification applications that include iron ore, base-metals, gold, industrial minerals, fertilizers (phosphate and potash), energy (coal and oil-sands) and specialty applications such as oil/water separation.
The coal flotation circuits were usually single-stage using open-trough or flow-through flotation cells, and reagent (usually frother only) was added directly into the feedbox of each flotation cell bank.

The rougher froth is subsequently cle~ned three times with minor additions of reagents. With this method, these low-grade silts could be upgraded into clean coal products of 80 - 85 per cent combustible recovery and 14 - 16 per cent ash content.
Froth flotation is a fine particle separation process, based on the difference in surface hydrophobicity of different components. It is often very effective for coal cleaning, since coal is naturally hydrophobic and minerals are generally hydrophilic. Because of coal's hydrophobicity, froth flotation has .
flotation are: minus 35-mesh solid fe,d, 20 - 25 per cent pulp density, 7,5 pH, 8 minutes conditioning time, and 8 minutes flotation time. Fuel oil and pine oil are used as collector and frother, respectively. The rougher froth is subsequently cle~ned three times with minor additions of reagents.

The sulphur, moisture and volatile matter are same as in the raw coal. Froth flotation at Ph9 of the coal gave an average ash content of6.95% with the fine coal reporting first with less ash content of 3.42%. This difference could be probably due to the presence of pyrite which might have been depressed at Ph9.
Froth flotation is considered to be a very likable physico-chemical method to eliminate pyritic sulfur from coal [5]. It has been observed to a be an efficient particle separation process. The process works due to the difference in surface rophobicity of com ponents present in any mixture.
