Industrial use of technologies potentially applicable to the cleaning of slurry pond fines
Several advanced technologies have been developed in the past decade that are particularly applicable to the processing of fine-coal streams. The Microcel{trademark} flotation column, the Static Tube flotation column, the Ken-Flote flotation column, the Jameson froth flotation cell, the Deister Flotaire{reg_sign} column flotation cell, the AFT spray flotation process, the Allflot flotation cell, the air-sparged hydrocyclone, and micronized-magnetite beneficiation have all advanced past the experimental stage and await widespread commercial application. One of the principal application opportunities for these technologies may be in the remediation of fine-coal slurry ponds, where millions of tons of fine coal and refuse are discarded annually. This paper discusses the status of development and commercial application of these technologies.
