Economical beneficiation of fine coal by using Reichert spiral and its application to Turkish coals

Conference ·
OSTI ID:45118
In this study, the possibility of applying Reichert spiral to Turkish coals is discussed. In the first part of the study, nine coal samples, six of them are lignite and one bituminous coal, collected from seven different locations of Turkey, have been studied. Their {open_quotes}Density Histograms{close_quotes} and {open_quotes}Optimum Separation Densities{close_quotes} were investigated. In the second part of the study, pilot scale experiments were carried out with Mark 10 type of Reichert spiral with six helical turns, on the coal samples taken from Zonguldak, the only bituminous coal area in Turkey, and the characteristic Turkish lignite. The results of the pilot scale experiments were compared to that of the known properties of the Reichert spiral.
