Before and after this cleaning process, Hardgrove grindability indexes (HGI) of each coal samples (original and clean) were determined. Ash percentages show a decreasing trend by float and sink test for all samples studied as this was aimed and expected, while HGI showed an increase for Zonguldak coals and decrease for Amasra coals.
The results were obtained from the floatsink experiment by which the coal washability of different lithotypes is evaluated, combined with the information resulting from investigating the change law of the mineral occurrence and dissemination characteristics of the raw coal and the clean coal before and after the flotation experiment ...
For the comparison, the floatsink test of < mm coal was performed. The upgrading curves can be used for the analysis of the separation process [47,48,49,50]. The comparison of floatsink and release flotation tests is given in Figure 8. The content of fluorine in clean coal increases as yields increase.
The floatandsink method helps in separating coal samples according to the difference in their respective specific gravities in a heavy liquid medium. This heavy fluid separation method is independent of the particle size and only a function of the difference in the densities of two substances.
Handling and disposal of high volume of fine coal tailings is a biggest challenge for coal washeries. Separation of clean coal by density separation and flotation shows limited yields of 2328% ...
The floatsink analysis determines how much coal can be separated from rock and minerals in fluids of different densities. Methods for floatsink analysis are outlined in ASTM method D437106 (American Society for Testing and Materials, 2013, p. 566573).
Coal washing Coal that comes from a mine is a complex mixture of materials with a large variety of physical properties. In addition to the coal itself, pieces of rock, sand, and various minerals are contained in the mixture. Thus, before coal can be sold to consumers, it must be cleaned. The cleaning process consists of a number of steps that results in a product that is specifically suited to ...
The degree of both total sulfur and pyritic sulfur reduction obtained was calculated from the chemical analysis of (l) the coal and (2) the clean coal product produced from the floatsink process.
Figure 1 shows size by size cumulative float curves for the Batac jig feed. It can be observed that each size fraction has different washability characteristics as manifested in the float curves. The curves from right to left indicate better washability characteristics with superior yield of clean coal at a specified ash content, 18% (typically 1719%), as generally targeted by the plants.
The process of separating particulate materials on the basis of their specific gravities is referred to as gravity separation. The objective of the coal washability principle is to develop routine protocols that include the floatandsink test, ash analysis, and evaluation of partition curves to obtain maximum possible separation performances for a given mineral (or coal) feed [1, 2].

In one variation of the FL process, coal samples are pretreated by a floatsink procedure using 50% aqueous NaOH as the heavy medium. The floated coal plus a portion of the 50% aqueous caustic used during floatsink are then heated at 390°C at atmospheric pressure for 30 minutes.
The separation efficiency of each coal differed significantly. Particle size distributions of the coals and their float and sink fractions were analysed using a Laser Particle Size Analyser. A Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to interpret the liberation of minerals from the coal particles.
The Sink and Float Process reduces medium currents to a minimum with the following benefits: Prevents interference with accuracy of separation by classifying effects. Reduces the fine size limit at which ore can be separated. Increases the recovery of particles of marginal density. SIZE OF ORE FEEDING A SINK FLOAT SEPARATOR

The floatsink test is a commonly used technology for the study of coal washability, which determines optimal separation density for coal washing based on the desired sulfur and ash yield of the cleaned coal. In this study, the floatsink test is adopted for a highsulfur Late Permian coal from Hongfa coalmine (), southwestern Guizhou, China, to investigate its washability, and to analyze ...
Introduction. Coal preparation embraces all aspects of preparing a mined coal for the market. This chapter covers some of the fundamental aspects involved in assessing the requirements for coal sizing and cleaning, and perhaps the three most important quantitative analyses are the size distribution analysis, float and sink (FS) analysis for gravity separation, and flotation analysis or ...
Float and sink testing is the standard laboratory method for determining, with respect to relative density, the washability characteristics of a wide range of coal samples, from bore core to mine production and coal preparation plant products. Data are derived for a number of different purposes and form the basis on which to—

A general procedure for a centrifugal float and sink test is given in annex A. A typical procedure for treating and testing a sample of raw coal is described in annex B. Some practical hints on float and sink testing are given in annex C.
Sinkfloat tests are widely used for coal analysis, since they can help to estimate the coal accessibility through the gravity concentration. The data obtained from such tests are used to analyze the contents of ash, volatile matter, moisture and sulfur, and also to plot the washability curves, such as: density curve, cumulative floatash and sinkash curves, cumulative floatsulfur and sink ...

The coals which float at specific gravity are called clean coal and the sinks are put to another suspension of specific gravity of Floats of the second suspension are called middlings and final sinks are called rejects. Thus, three products are produced by this process. Clean coal is supplied to steel plants, the middlings to thermal ...
The lowest residual sulfur levels ever attained by caustic leaching of Illinois No. 6 coal samples have resulted from the application of a combined floatsink/leaching (FL) process in which 50% aqueous NaOH solutions serve as the heavy medium during the floatsink step and as the reagent during subsequent atmospheric pressure leaching.
Laboratory float and sink separation can then be used to characterise the products and indicate the theoretical limits of physical coal desulphurisation. Unfortunately, traditional float and sink procedures become less selective when separating below mm and are particularly difficult for the characterisation of ultrafine particles [2,3,4].
