The present review paper summarizes the up-to-date research advancements made in the use of mixed reagent systems to improve the separation efficiency of coal flotation. Experimental and molecular dynamics simulation approaches have been adopted to enhance floatability, and reagent adsorptions are also discussed.

In the flotation of coal fines with an ash content of 47.15%, the best results are obtained when supplying Sinterol at a rate of 0.004 kg /t of coal. That increases the concentrate yield from 53.0 to 57.2%, with no change in the collector consumption.

Flotation is a complex multifaceted process that can be separated into three main areas: the coal, the chemistry and the machine, as shown in Figure 1. To solve plant issues it is important to understand how different factors within these areas affect and control flotation performance for a particular system.

The flotation response of two high-sulfur coals to a variety of collectors was studied in detail using a 2-liter Denver flotation cell. In comparison with dodecane as the standard oily collector, the introduction of a benzene ring into the oily collector can significantly improve its collecting ability for coal.

Surfactants enhance the separation efficiency of coal flotation by getting adsorbed selectively and quickly on the surface of coal and reduce the oil–water interfacial tension, particularly for low-rank oxidized coal particles.

Carrier Flotation of LowRank Coal with Polystyrene. Froth flotation is an efficient method for the upgrading of fine coals of less than mm [1,2,3].However, lowrank coals are very difficult to float with ordinary collectors (diesel oil, kerosene, etc.) due to abundant oxygenated functional groups on their surfaces, such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, …

Summary and Conclusions. Flotation kinetic behavior of coal can be described by a first-order flotation kinetic model with a sine function (in the range of 0 to π/2) distribution of flotabilities in the flotable particles. The ultimate recovery and flotation rate constant obtained by fitting experimental results with this kinetic model ...

As in coal flotation, oil agglomeration takes advantage of the difference between the surface properties of low-ash coal and high-ash gangue particles, and can cope with …

Traditional non-polar oil collectors cannot achieve high recovery of low-rank coal because of the presence of oxygen-containing groups at coal surface. In this study, a new mixture of fossil oil and oxygen containing compound (FO) was used to enhance low-rank coal flotation compared with that using traditional collector, diesel oil.

The flotation kinetics of coarse coal particles was studied in a modified version of the Hallimond tube at 25 °C using nitrogen as the carrier gas, in the pH range 2–12. The kinetics was ...

The standard practice on coal in England has been to use cell-to-cell "Sub-A" Flotation Machines of the double overflow type. Several hundred of the large No. 30 cells (100 cu. ft./cell) are in use. Super-charging is not generally used. Flotation is carried out at low solids, usually under 10% dilution.
