Coal-sand attrition system and its' importance in fine coal cleaning
The primary objective of this project is geared toward the substitution of steel media by fracturing silica sand as a grinding media for ultraline coal grinding. The project has been divided into four subgroups for bookkeeping purposes and possible ease of execution. Some of the tasks would be executed simultaneously as overlapping is inevitable. The grouping is as follows: (1) sample procurement, preparation, and characterization; (2) batch grinding tests; (3) continuous grinding tests; and, (4) fracture mechanics. The hardgrove indices for the four coals employed in this work have finally been determined by the personnel at the R and D Center of Drummond Coal Company using 14 [times] 28 mesh feed size materials. The values obtained for the respective coals are given in Table 1.
