Densemedium (magnetite in the case of coal), a slurry/suspension having a relative density intermediate to that of valuable mineral and gangue, is generally used as the medium of separation in most coal preparation plants. The medium, being costly, plays a crucial role in determining the economics of any preparation operation.

The coal beneficiation or coal preparation process separates inorganic impurities from raw mined coal, reducing the concentration of unwanted material or gangue and thereby providing improved combustion characteristics to the fuel produced. The commonly used beneficiation methods for coal sorting and processing include jig separation, heavy ...
Coal processing or coal beneficiation uses physical (mechanical) and/or chemical methods to remove rocks, dirt, ash, sulphur and other contaminants and unwanted materials to produce highquality coal for energy in both local and export markets.
In coal preparation, the mineral magnetite (FeO, Fe 2 O 3) has become the most commonly used material, not only because it fulfils all the above criteria, but also because of its worldwide occurrence either as an iron ore or as a byproduct of mining operations for other minerals.

Commercial magnetite often contains significant amounts of α and γFe 2 O 3, in addition to magnetite. As αFe 2 O 3 is nonmagnetic, it is not removed in the magnetic separator and is discharged in the refuse. It is believed that this is the cause for much of the loss of heavy media experienced in the coal cleaning plants.
Magnetite, slurried in water, is used to create an apparent heavy medium in which fine coal ( to mm) is cleaned of its mineral impurities. The magnetite is much finer in size (1 to 44 ..mu..m) than the coal and is usually recovered from the coal and refuse by magnetic drum separators.
The first washing methods were imported from Europe, The "Chance" washer, in which the density differences between coal and mineral matter was exploited to clean raw coal was introduced in 1918. The Chance washer utilized sand and water as a medium. Today, the "heavymedia" process using magnetite is standard for coarse coal cleaning.
Density of Water = 1000 kg/m 3; 1 m 3 of Water = 1000 kg. Magnetite Density = 5170 kg/m 3. [image 145329] [image 145330] For example, a 400 tph feed to a dense medium process equates to a volumetric flow rate of 1000 gallons/min or m 3 /min. At a 4:1 mediumtocoal ratio, the volume of medium is m 3 /min.

for magnetite is in the densemedium washing process used in most coal preparation plants (Doral Resources NL 1990). This requires a suspension of finely milled magnetite in water. Magnetite is particularly wellsuited to this application, because of its high density and recoverability by magnets for recycling (Evans 1993). Magnetite for coal ...

But it was not in the steel making process that the magnetite from Biggenden mine was used. Dutch researchers had discovered the usefulness of magnetite as an agent in the coal washing process as early as 1912. The coal beneficiation processes is where inorganic impurities are separated from raw mined coal thereby enhancing the combustion ...
Power plant fly ash, a highvolume waste product of pulverized coal combustion, contains a magnetic fraction which can be easily separated and has a high market potential. The fly ash from most of the bituminous coals contains 15 to 20 weight percent iron oxides, 50% or more of which can be recovered by dry magnetic separation as a high ...
The results are presented in Figure (a). Figure (a) Recovery of clean coal (17 % ash) from crushed middlings. The recoverable weight of clean coal varies from to % for middlings crushed to 13 mm and the same varies from to 35% for middlings crushed to 3 mm depending upon the nature of coal.
Most widely used process in washing of coal. Disadvantages of dense medium process 1. It is inefficient in cleaning small size coal as the viscosity of media effects these sizes and reduces the capacity of the plant. 2. ...
