WhatsApp: +86 18203695377These 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).

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377It can be seen that after the completion of 180 s of flotation, the ash recovery increased from % in tap water to % in NB water. Given the fine and hydrophilic nature of kaolinite particles and the low ash content of the clean coal, the majority of the mineral matter (ash) recovered should be via entrainment.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Washability characteristics have been traditionally assessed using the floatsink (washability) tests. These analyses determine how much of coal can be separated from associated rock (mineral matter) in liquids of different densities. However, the test work requires a wet processing where organic liquids, referred to as heavy liquids are used.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377For instance, a floatsink process was performed on a fly ash sample at a cutpoint density of SG. The sink fraction contained more REYs (, 521 ppm) than the float fraction (, 376 ppm). Other researchers have carried out several densimetric analyses of two different fly ash samples and found that maximum REY contents occurred in the ...
