Description

Fine coal waste has potential for both the recovery of a saleable fine coal fraction, by flotation or similar separation tool, and the re-purposing of the resultant bulk ash-rich fractions to soil fabrication. While, where these fractions are acid-generating, their preparation by two-stage flotation is preferred, in this project several fine coal waste fractions illustrated that they could be used directly in soil fabrication, improving the techno-economics.

What this report found

Fine coal was screened at small apertures while surface moisture stayed below about 5 per cent. Above that, fines adhered to the coarser particles and screening became very difficult. The dual vibrating polyurethane mats stopped blinding and clogging, so screening area stayed available, but the screen action still could not dislodge fines from very damp coal.
