Development of a fine coal beneficiation circuit for the Twistdraai Colliery
… aim of this thesis was to develop a fine coal beneficiation circuit for the Twistdraai Colliery capable of achieving.a saleable 10.0% ash (28 MJ/kg CV) product. Gravity circuit testing involved a comparative study of a conventional double-stage Spiral circuit and a Stokes upward-current …

The applicability of selected lean manufacturing tools in a coal beneficiation plant
… if lean manufacturing tools were applicable in a coal beneficiation plant and to apply these tools in an effort to optimise the plant processes. This study was conducted at XYZ coal beneficiation plant situated in the Mpumalanga province. The volatility of mining commodity prices like coal prices …

On the energy and separation efficiency of dense medium cyclone coal beneficiation processes
… studies one of the most important processes in coal mining industry, dense medium cyclone (DMC) coal beneficiation process, in terms of energy and separation efficiency improvement. The pumping system used in the DMC process is studied to reduce its energy consumption and associated costs. The …

Fine coal beneficiation: comparison study of the separation efficiency of a dense medium cyclone and flat-bottom cyclone
Near-gravity material (NGM) is the fraction of coal particles with a relative density within a range of ± 0.1 of the relative density of the separating medium during coal washing. High levels of NGM in coal impede classifier separation efficiency because NGM particles have low settling rates, which …

Continuous Electrostatic Beneficiation And Surface Conditioning Of Coal
A dry method of coal beneficiation achieved by triboelectrification in a fluidized bed and separation in an electrostatic field has been investigated at The University of Western Ontario for a considerable period of time. This study was undertaken to extend this method from batch to continuous …

Bubble Dynamics and Dense Phase Composition in 2-D Binary Gas-Solid Fluidized Bed
… is a potential candidate for performing the dry coal beneficiation process due to its advantages such as the ability to adjust separation density and the elimination of process water. A two-dimensional (2D) fluidized bed was used to study bubble dynamics and dense phase composition distribution …

Reverse flotation : a novel process for the beneficiation of fine coal
The beneficiation of ultrafine coal by froth flotation is a widely used process, and its importance for the treatment of -0.1 mm coal has been appreciated of late in South African coal washing plants. A number of problems adversely affect the efficiency of this process, such as poor liberation, …

Developing a Novel Ultrafine Coal Dewatering Process
Dewatering fine coal is needed in many applications but has remained a great challenge. The hydrophobic-hydrophilic separation (HHS) method is a powerful technology to address this problem. However, organic solvents in solvent-coal slurries produced during HHS must be recovered for the method to be …

The potential of QEMSCAN in predicting coal washability of Mpumalanga coals
… are undertaken to determine the washability of coal. Float and sink analyses are costly, require toxic heavy organic liquids and the procedure to wash and dry the float and discard fractions is lengthy. QEMSCAN has the ability to characterise particle density based on the mineralogical …
