The overall objective of the proposed research program is to explore the potential application of a new invention involving a multi-stage column equipped with vortex-inducing loop-flow contactors (hereafter referred to as the multi-stage flotation column) for fine coal cleaning and other solid-solid separations. The research work will identify the design parameters and their effect on the performance of the separation process. The results of this research will provide a basis for further development of the technology. In the past three months, the efforts focused on project planning and design of test equipment. A description of technical progress is presented.
