Abstract. Coal is a physical mixture of high carbon value coal and rejects. Coal beneficiation is nothing but the separation of these high carbon value coal from rejects (noncarbonaceous material) in a coal body. Although the theoretical knowledge of coal beneficiation is available aplenty in coal preparation books; it is essential that mineral ...

Review of Jigging Principles and Control. The jig in its variety of forms applied in coal preparation has been a major unit in coal washeries for one hundred years; yet the principles of jigging are still less well understood than those governing many other coal preparation unit operations. Jig control has also been viewed as an art rather than ...
The flowsheet for a coal preparation plant can typically be represented by a series of sequential unit operations for sizing, cleaning, and dewatering (Fig. 18.1).This sequence of steps is repeated for each size fraction, since the processes used in modern plants have a limited range of applicability in terms of particle size (Osborne, 1988).As a …
