Densemedium (magnetite in the case of coal), a slurry/suspension having a relative density intermediate to that of valuable mineral and gangue, is generally used as the medium of separation in most coal preparation plants. The medium, being costly, plays a crucial role in determining the economics of any preparation operation.
Magnetite is widely used as iron ore due to its high iron content and also employed in 75 coal washing processes [17]. Wang et al. [18] added magnetite aggregates in the mix design to heat up the ...
Commercial magnetite often contains significant amounts of α and γFe 2 O 3, in addition to magnetite. As αFe 2 O 3 is nonmagnetic, it is not removed in the magnetic separator and is discharged in the refuse. It is believed that this is the cause for much of the loss of heavy media experienced in the coal cleaning plants.
The results are presented in Figure (a). Figure (a) Recovery of clean coal (17 % ash) from crushed middlings. The recoverable weight of clean coal varies from to % for middlings crushed to 13 mm and the same varies from to 35% for middlings crushed to 3 mm depending upon the nature of coal.
Experiments have been conducted on a 75mm densemedium cyclone treating coal in the size range − + mm using magnetite as the medium under different design and operating conditions. The design variables studied were vortex finder diameter and spigot diameter and the operating variable was the specific gravity of the feed medium.
Magnetite, slurried in water, is used to create an apparent heavy medium in which fine coal ( to mm) is cleaned of its mineral impurities. The magnetite is much finer in size (1 to 44 ..mu..m) than the coal and is usually recovered from the coal and refuse by magnetic drum separators.
For clean coal obtained at lower relative density medium (b ), wash a water and time of washing had an insignificant effect, magnetite lost after rinsing,% while higher screening velocity was detrimental. Clean coal generally is more porous than the middling or the rejects.
A coal preparation plant ( CPP; also known as a coal handling and preparation plant ( CHPP ), coal handling plant, prep plant, tipple or wash plant) is a facility that washes coal of soil and rock, crushes it into graded sized chunks (sorting), stockpiles grades preparing it for transport to market, and more often than not, also loads coal into ...
the coal and the noncombustible material (ash) are in the raw coal. Pure coal has a specific gravity in the range of to Pure ash is heavier, with a specific gravity of more than Coal and ash are mixed across all specific gravity categories and particle sizes. Coalcleaning technologies and
It was found that the magnetite stuck to the surface moisture of the coal. The use of a highfrequency screen improved recovery of the magnetite from the wet coal samples from % to %. Recovery from the highfrequency screen for both dry and wet magnetite samples was lower than that achieved with a conventional 3 mm screen.

Cyclones have been in mineral processing since the first patent in 1912 and amongst the many uses of the configuration of the cyclones is the DENSE MEDIUM CYCLONE, used for separation of particles of different densities; separation enhanced by the use of either magnetite or ferrosilicon as an essential element of the process to create the desired effect.
The heavymedia separation process, or HMS, employing ferrous media, usually ferrosilicon and/or magnetite, is the most generally used process for sinkfloat separations. A stable medium over the range of specific gravities from to can be maintained within close limits and is cleaned and recovered by magnetic means.
Power plant fly ash, a highvolume waste product of pulverized coal combustion, contains a magnetic fraction which can be easily separated and has a high market potential. The fly ash from most of the bituminous coals contains 15 to 20 weight percent iron oxides, 50% or more of which can be recovered by dry magnetic separation as a high ...
During the recovery process of DMS process, only part of the dense medium can be recovered due to circulation losses such as drain and rinse screens. Therefore, we make the following assumptions ...
The report describes a demonstration of the successful recovery of magnetite from mixtures of magnetite and coal, like those found in a coalwashing circuit, by High Gradient Magnetic Separation. The demonstration was part of a research program at Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory. High values of magnetite recovery were achieved at reasonably high material throughput rates with little ...

Abstract. Magnetite is widely used in most densemedium processes in the coal industry because of its higher specific gravity, stability in suspension, lower viscosity, and easy availability, recovery and reuse. To keep the suspension at the desired specific gravity and low viscosity, it is necessary to extract ... Read More
Magnetite could be lost in multiple stages of the coal beneficiation process. The drainandrinse screens, for example, are trying to wash as much magnetite off the clean coal as possible. If they do not have enough water, however, the magnetite could be lost to the clean coal stream.

The washing process conditions and recovery efficiency of the magnetic separation directly determine the loss rate and grade of the heavy medium, and directly affect the precision of the subsequent round of coal preparation, which results in unnecessary economic losses [9], [10].
