Evaluation, engineering and development of advanced cyclone processes. Quarterly progress report, July 30, 1995--September 30, 1995
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 I, media evaluation, now completed, involved a paper study and a number of laboratory tests to eliminate all but the best media options. Phase II, media testing, involved detailed testing of the more promising media and separators in a closed-loop pilot facility. In the final phase, phase III, the optimum medium, separator, and medium recovery system(s) will be tested with commercial-size equipment. The ceramic capillary action filter was plumed and connected to power. Process chutes, sumps, piping and motors were installed and connected. Plain water was circulated through the system. Sumps were sandblasted, primed and painted with urethane paint.
