Abstract The effect of differential crushing on liberation characteristics has been studied for a low volatile coking coal of Indian origin through washability studies. Two parameters, namely “Index of Washability” (IW) and “Near Gravity Material Index” (NGMI), are used to describe the ease of washability. The ROM Coal is crushed to four different top sizes namely, 75 mm, 25 mm, 13 mm and 6 mm.On the basis of calculated IW it is observed that relative ease of washabiltiy increases with decrease in top size. From calculated IW values it may be said that this coal can be economically beneficiated using gravity process after crushing to -6 mm size. From the calculated NGMI values, the critical specific gravities have been estimated and the values for crushing to -75 mm,-25 mm,-13 mm and − 6 mm are 1.65, 1.68, 1.53 and 1.58 respectively. These critical specific gravity values suggest the separation at this specific gravity range is most difficult task using gravity methods. From NGMI analysis, it may be said that the NGMI values for coals crushed to -25 mm & -6 mm are identical (≈ 0.18) at 17% clean coal ash content. This suggests that with similar degree of difficulty, clean coal of 17% ash can be produced from these two different crushing sizes. In order to increase the yield for the clean coal of 17% ash, the decision on blending these two size coals may need to be taken.

On the basis of the coal quality characteristics, the screening and drifting tests have been carried out to investigate the separability of the coals in the inclined shaft coal samples of Chenghe Wangcun coal mine. The results showed that the mine raw coal seams are medium ash, high sulfur and medium volatile coals. The screening test results showed that the water content and sulfur content of coals samples in each grade after sieving essentially remained the row coal characteristic. Heating value increased with the decrease of particle size, but ash content decreased with the particle size. The float-and-sink tests showed that when the given clean coal ash content was 10%13% and 15% respectively, the coal samples were in the extremely difficult degree, medium separability degree and medium separability degree respectively.

Corona electrostatic separation can remove inorganic materials from coal, reduce coal ash content and sulfur content and improve coal quality, reduce air pollution caused by smoke dust, SOX, and COX. The performance of corona electrostatic separation technology in cleaning a middle ash medium-ash, high-sulfur coal was experimentally investigated. The electrode voltage, drum rotational speed, and feeding speed were tested, whereas other parameters were maintained constant during the experiment. The results indicate that the performance of this technology in cleaning medium-ash, high-sulfur coal can be improved by optimizing the process parameters. The results demonstrate that corona electrostatic separation is effective for the beneficiation of this grade coal. In addition, the efficiency of coal cleaning is significantly improved by adding the second stage beneficiation to clean the middlings out from the first stage beneficiation. In this study, the first stage of beneficiation recovered 38.00% (by weight) of clean coal (ash content below 20%), and the second stage recovered 48.58% (by weight) of clean coal, improving the overall separation efficiency from 0.69 to 1.74. Furthermore, the sulfur content was reduced from 4.71% (raw coal) to 3.53% (clean coal). Our result show that corona electrostatic separation can effectively reject inorganic sulfur from raw coal, and the two-stage separate is also very helpful for coal purification.

The properties analyzing of flotation feed sample told that this fine coal sample is high-ash and hard-to-float coal slime. The ash reduction comparison of the step-by-step release flotation test with high intensity conditioning (HIC) or not, and the comparison of flotation test with HIC and adding depressant were made. The results showed that HIC can significantly improve the flotation effect for high-ash and hard-to-float coal slime. Comparing with the traditional step-by-step flotation process, if it meets the demand of ash content is 10.00% and 8.00%, the clean coal yield with HIC will increase 18 and 29 percentage points respectively; comparing with the effect of floatation adding depressant, HIC has more help to reduce the ash content and increase the yield of clean coal. In addition, HIC will save a lot of flotation reagents.
