Dry beneficiation of coal, is one such small step which is immediately achievable. Within the family of dry beneficiation methods, recent technologies like ArdeeSort have emerged as game changers which apart from improving the techno-economic efficiency of coal beneficiation without use of water, have made clean coal …
Coal Beneficiation via the Tapered Fluidized Bed Using
A gas–solid fluidized bed using magnetite particles is an effective methodology for coal beneficiation in the field of dry coal cleaning. Broadening the size range of magnetite used in the bed decreases medium preparation cost. In this study, a tapered fluidized bed was used to investigate a magnetite particle size range of −0.5 + …
A Comparison of Coal Beneficiation Methods
That's ok.
Although iron pyrites and other minerals are removed from coal on an industrial scale almost exclusively by gravity separation methods at the present time, other beneficiation methods are coming into use. Among the developing methods, froth flotation (1,2,3) is the foremost, although the oil agglomeration method (4,5,6) is also ...
Recent advances in beneficiation for low rank coals
Coal beneficiation is one of the most effective methods for removing minerals (such as gangues and pyrite) and pollutants (such as sulfur) before the burning of coal. In general, the beneficiation process of low rank coals is more difficult to achieve than that of bituminous and/or anthracite coals. However, about 50% of the world's total coal ...

Understanding coal quality and the critical importance
Coal cleaning technologies are, for the most part, water or media based. The coal gets wet; the water needs to be removed and reused in the preparation plant. Coal dewatering technologies, an inherent part of beneficiation, remove the surface moisture based on dewatering forces, such as vacuum, gravity, centrifugal forces, pressure, etc.
