Evaluation, engineering and development of advanced cyclone processes. Quarterly report, July 1, 1994--September 30, 1994
The project goal is to develop an advanced coal beneficiation technology that can achieve high recovery of the parent coal`s calorific value, while maximizing pyritic sulfur removal. Coal cleaning is to be accomplished by physical means incorporating an advanced gravimetric process. Evaluation of different media types and their attendant systems for recovery, concentration, and regeneration is to be completed. Phase 1, Media Evaluation, now completed, involved a paper study and a number of laboratory tests ta eliminate all but the best media options. Phase 2, Media Testing, involved detailed testing of the more promising media and separators in a closed-loop pilot facility. In the final phase, Phase 3, it is proposed to test individual components of the process using the optimum medium, separator, and medium recovery system(s) selected in prior phases. Major activities and developments that occurred during this reporting period are reviewed below. CTC prepared for and participated in the Contractors Conference held July 18, 19 and 20, 1994, during which a draft of the pending revised Work Plan was provided and informally discussed. Recent revisions have focused on the scope of the component testing program for the disk filter and decanter centrifuge.
