Classification of Coal. Coal constitutes a heterogeneous mixture of transformed organic vegetal matter and associated inorganic materials. It is rich in carbon and mineral matter. Coalification refers to the series of processes involved during the transformation of this organic vegetation into coal.
These 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).
particles contain not ash but mineral matter, and the general relationship is therefore only an approximation. Float and sink testing is the standard laboratory method for determining, with respect to relative density, the washability characteristics of a wide range of coal samples, from bore core to mine production and coal preparation plant ...
In this study, the sinkfloat tests (heavy media sepn.) were applied to increase the quality of coal samples so that the ash and the impurities could be removed using a high ashsulfur content coal sample (% ash, % S and calorific value 3185 ) taken from TKI (Turkish Coal Enterprises) Can (Canakkale, Turkey) lignite coalfield.
A typical floatation cell used to separate inorganic mineral content from coal with the aid of a reagent and air bubbles to attract and bind the ultrafine hydrophobic carbonaceous particles from inorganic minerals (Gupta et al., 2019) is shown in Fig. 11.

The coal samples of narrow range low ash contents were the clean coal (−6 mm) obtained from the floatandsink experiments of the runofmine coal sample. The coal samples of 25 different ash contents ranged from % to % were prepared as single layer (50 mm), and then measured using the Xray ash content analyzer.
The coal sample used in this study was obtained from Bulli Mine, New South Wales, Australia. It was a high volatile bituminous coal with a moisture content of wt%, combustible matter content of wt% and ash content of wt%.XRD analysis of this coal sample demonstrated that the mineral matter contained was mainly kaolinite and quartz with only a small amount of calcite and siderite.
The floatsink test is a commonly used technology for the study of coal washability, which determines optimal separation density for coal washing based on the desired sulfur and ash yield of the cleaned coal. In this study, the floatsink test is adopted for a highsulfur Late Permian coal from Hongfa coalmine (), southwestern Guizhou, China, to investigate its washability, and to analyze ...
Coal 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.
Table 2 indicates the ultimate analysis results for the feed coals, as well as for the float and sink fractions. High concentrations of carbon can be observed for the feed coals (76% to 80%, air ...
The floatsink test is a commonly used technology for the study of coal washability, which determines optimal separation density for coal washing based on the desired sulfur and ash yield of the cleaned coal.
Mineral matter comprises of all inorganic material and elements present in coal as discrete (crystalline and noncrystalline) mineral phases [10] and may occur in coal as minerals, mineraloids and ...
Smoothing and interpolation of float/sink data for coals J. Abbott, Miles Add to Mendeley https://// (91)90152L Get rights and content Washability data for a coal generally consists of triplets of values of three interrelated variables: relative density, mass and ash content.
In a standard floatsink analysis, set amounts of the representative coal sample are crushed to a specified particle size and placed in liquids of known density or across a range of densities. Coal has relatively low density or specific gravity ( to ) compared to other rocks such as shale ( to ) or minerals such as pyrite ( to ).
Inplant sampling campaigns conducted by various researchers [36, 38] suggest a good correlation between the rejection of mineral matter and the removal of trace elements during physical cleaning. These findings are also supported by laboratory floatsink tests performed using a variety of eastern US coals [3941]. These data suggest that ...

A total of 10 coal samples were selected for floatandsink analyses to investigate the distribution pattern of Se in floating coal. The results showed that the average Se concentration of Chinese coal was μg/g, which is identical with the results of previous research studies, which found an average Se concentration of 2~3 μg/g.

The 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].
