Rogers, R S.C.

This is the third and final Quarterly Progress Report for DOE Contract No. DE-AC21-80MC14266, Coal Materials Handling - Classifier Evaluation. It covers the period 1 April - 30 June 1981. The project is divided into seven tasks which are grouped into three general phases of work: Preparation Phase, Testing and Data Reduction Phase and Reporting Phase. The following summarizes progress made during the present quarter. Under the Preparation Phase, the final shipment of study coal has been delivered to KVS and the vari-mech classifier has been modified for testing. The sizing and data analysis methodologies have been revised. The revised methodologies have been described and demonstrated. Under the Testing and Reduction Phase, 15 shakedown tests and 39 of the 96 tests described in the PROGRAM PLAN MANUAL have been completed to date. Additional tests of the centrifugal classifier using a third circuit feed size and coals of relatively high and low moisture have also been conducted. Size selectivity functions have been determined for the majority of tests performed to date.
