Response to parameter variation of a one-inch diameter hydrocyclone for pyritic sulfur removal
… to determine the possibility of removing pyritic sulfur from fine coal using a 1.0" diameter hydrocyclone. A 1.0" diameter hydrocyclone was constructed from stainless steel. The hydrocyclone was fabricated with easily interchangable parts that permitted rapid variations in the inlet …

Removal of trace elements from coal using a multiple-property processing circuit
… rejections of ash-forming mineral matter and pyritic sulfur. Reductions were expected for trace elements associated with the mineral matter and pyritic sulfur in proportion to ash and pyrite reductions. Trace elements associated with the organic fractions of coal that may be more difficult to …

Coal desulfurization with sodium hypochlorite
Wet desulfurization of Pittsburgh No. 8 coal and Illinois No. 6 coal were conducted with sodium hypochlorite in the laboratory. Pittsburgh No. 8 coal was leached by hypochlorite at high pHs in one step only. The hypochlorite concentration varied from 0.2 to 0.6 molar; sodium hydroxide …

Processing of high-sulfur coals using microbubble column flotation
Sulfur dioxide emissions, which are produced through the combustion of coal, are thought to be a leading contributor to acid rain. A number of postcombustion techniques for the reduction of sulfur dioxide emissions are being tested; however, the reduction in the pyritic sulfur content of coal …

Precombustion desulfurization of coal by photochemical methods and pyrite depression in froth flotation
The precombustion desulfurization of coal was investigated by photochemical methods and by the application of a novel pyrite depressant in froth flotation. Semiconductor photoelectrochemical catalysis was extensively examined. As much as 41% of the organic sulfur was removed and 72% overall …

Direct Measurement of Organic Sulfur Content in Coal Macerals and the Study of Pyrite Decomposition in Coal
Measurement has been made of the organic sulfur concentration in coal macerals of several bituminous coals. Variation of organic sulfur content among the maceral groups is striking. The average organic sulfur content of the major maceral groups has the progression S(exinite) > S(vitrinite) > …

Evaluation of an advanced fine coal cleaning circuit
… in a single circuit resulted in improved ash and pyritic sulfur rejection with minimal losses in energy recovery. In addition, technical and economic analyses of this processing scheme suggest it compares favorably with existing post-combustion desulfurization techniques. A detailed study of the …

Influence of fly ash and other treatments on acid mine drainage from coal refuse
… refuse materials contain significant amounts of pyritic sulfur and are likely to produce acid mine drainage (AMD). A column technique was designed and implemented to evaluate the effects of various AMD mitigation treatments including fly ash, topsoil, lime, and rock-P. Two types of fly ash were …

Environmental Performance Assessment of Froth Flotation for Coal Recovery and Sulfur Removal from Ultrafine Coal Waste
… used to both recover coal (stage 1) and remove pyritic sulfur (stage 2) from ultrafine coal waste, resulting in three outputs streams: a saleable coal product, a small volume sulfide-rich stream, and a reduced volume sulfide lean tailings stream. Pre-disposal removal of sulfide sulfur and coal …
