This paper addresses the factors involved in selecting an appropriate gravity process for the cleaning of any given bituminous or anthracite coal. The principle cleaning processes reviewed are dense medium and jigging. The relevant technical and economic factors considered are size and washability analyses, d{sub 50} separating cut joint, efficiency of the process (EPM and organic efficiency), clay content, capital, and operating cost. Computer simulation of the cleaning process has been used to illustrate the selection process.
