Cleaning of China high sulfur coals by selective dispersion and flocculation
- Shandong Inst. of Mining and Technology, Ji`nan (China). Dept. of Coal Chemical Engineering
A process for removing pyritic sulfur from high sulfur coals by selective dispersion and flocculation has been conceptually developed and tested in China. The tentative tests on China high sulfur coals have shown that this coal cleaning process can be very efficient in coal desulfurization, provided the process parameters are properly optimized. While acquiring high coal recovery, the total sulfur rejection with four kinds of coals normally falls in the range 57% to 71% by one-step reverse flocculation, and within the range 40% to 59% by one-step normal flocculation process. This cleaning process presents a promising approach for the removal of pyrite particles from coal fines suspensions. Most of the results presented in this paper are preliminary in nature, and further research is being carried out.
