The most widely accepted method for upgrading ultrafine coal is froth flotation. Froth flotation is a physicochemical process that separates particles based on differences in surface wettability. Flotation takes place by passing finely dispersed air bubbles through an aqueous suspension of particles (Fig. 17). A chemical reagent, called a ...

Regardless of the type of collector used, this study has shown that the process of flotation could be improved by minimizing the pore structure of the coal. The application of such compressions would be ideal for the application bio waste oil waste, since bio waste oil tends to prompting association with coal.

The results showed that oil-in-water with 0.5 g Span 80 had the largest concentrate yield and combustible recovery, while water-in-oil had had larger ash content, flotation rate constant, and recovered water. The reasons for these are that the differences in oil droplet composition of both emulsions lead to variations in coarse particle yields ...

Flotation is widely used to separate valuable minerals from the rock and fine coal particles from clay, silt, shale, and other ash-producing matter. It is usually preceded by crushing and finely grinding the ore to liberate valuable particles in a host rock, and may be followed by metallurgical processes.
