A coal washing circuit is studied for the purpose of better control of the density of medium used in dense medium cyclones to enhance separation efficiency. The process dynamics is mathematically modelled and a controller is designed following model predictive control method. The objective of the control is to adjust the medium density to follow an optimal density profile set by an upper level ...

The washing process conditions and recovery efficiency of the magnetic separation directly determine the loss rate and grade of the heavy medium, and directly affect the precision of the subsequent round of coal preparation, which results in unnecessary economic losses [9], [10].
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.
Magnetite could be lost in multiple stages of the coal beneficiation process. The drainandrinse screens, for example, are trying to wash as much magnetite off the clean coal as possible. If they do not have enough water, however, the magnetite could be lost to the clean coal stream.
"At 300/ton for magnetite, you can replace a whole lot of screen panels," Woodie said. "Heavymedia plants that retain their magnetite are way ahead of the game. Many companies see maintenance costs adding up, but the real payback comes from making sure the process is correct vs. a concern about changing screen panels too often."

After washing off the clay, screen three outputs: above 50mm,2050mm, and below 20mm. Above 50mm and 2050mm, outputs are transported to another place by belt ...
Coal Cleaning Process Description12,9 Coal cleaning is a process by which impurities such as sulfur, ash, and rock are removed from coal to upgrade its value. Coal cleaning processes are categorized as either physical cleaning or chemical cleaning. Physical coal cleaning processes, the mechanical separation of coal from its
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.
In all cases sodium was to the major cation in process water in coal preparation plants. Table 1. Characteristics of process water from some Australian coal preparation plants.

ABSTRACT A research program at the Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory has de monstrated successful recovery of magnetite from mixtures of magnetite and coal — like those found in a coalwashing circuit — by High Gradient Magnetic Separation.
Experiments have been conducted on a 75mm densemedium cyclone treating coal in the size range − + mm using magnetite as the medium under different design and operating conditions. The design variables studied were vortex finder diameter and spigot diameter and the operating variable was the specific gravity of the feed medium.
During the recovery process of DMS process, only part of the dense medium can be recovered due to circulation losses such as drain and rinse screens. Therefore, we make the following assumptions ...
In China and Germany, jig washing is the dominant separation process used, again, due to the nature of the coal mined.

The heavymedia separation process, or HMS, employing ferrous media, usually ferrosilicon and/or magnetite, is the most generally used process for sinkfloat separations. A stable medium over the range of specific gravities from to can be maintained within close limits and is cleaned and recovered by magnetic means.
The output obtained from the supercritical process was a mixture of REY nitrates. Metallothermic reduction processes were then used to extract rare earth elements at high temperatures (>1000 °C) under vacuum conditions using inert gas. The extraction efficiency of different REYs varied between 7% and 99%.
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.
Abstract. In this paper, the problems which occurred on introduction of dense medium cyclone coal washing in Australia are reviewed together with the subsequent measures taken to obtain a satisfactory magnetite. Specification and testing of magnetite for exploration, quality control and inplant check purposes is discussed.
A common term for this process is coal "washing" or "cleaning". Coal processing is a broader term used to describe the complete process of sizing, handling and washing of the runofmine coal. ...
