WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground. Coal is valued for its energy content, and, since the 1880s, has been widely used to generate electricity . However, extraction, processing, marketing, and the sale of coal generate large quantities of lowgrade waste that is of little or no apparent immediate commercial value.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The process of separating particulate materials on the basis of their specific gravities is referred to as gravity separation. The objective of the coal washability principle is to develop routine protocols that include the floatandsink test, ash analysis, and evaluation of partition curves to obtain maximum possible separation performances for a given mineral (or coal) feed [1, 2].
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Washability characteristics have been traditionally assessed using the floatsink (washability) tests. These analyses determine how much of coal can be separated from associated rock (mineral matter) in liquids of different densities. However, the test work requires a wet processing where organic liquids, referred to as heavy liquids are used.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377These are referred to as 'float and sink' tests. Coal has a density of around 1,300 kg m3, whereas mineral matter ( impurities present, 'ash') often have densities exceeding 2,000 kg m3 (2). It can therefore be inferred that a higher density coal sample will have a higher proportion of ash because ash is more dense than coal(3).
