An anthracite coal preparation plant (sizing and cleaning) is described, in particular fine coal recovery with duster tables and froth-flotation cells. Refuse from the fine coal cleaning circuit goes to a thickness, where a flocculant is added. The settled sludge is filtered and clear water returned to the fresh water reservoir. (LTN)
