Study on the washability of the Kaitai coal, Guizhou Province China

The Kaitai coal with the size of 3–0.5 mm range only accounts for 12.76% of the total coal. The float–sink test results of this sized range coal are shown in Table 8. The component with density lower than 1.4 accounts for 47.3% of this sized range coal, which is significantly higher the coal portion with bigger particle size.

Coal washability determination using RhoVol technology

Density is one of the key properties of coal and provides information about its physical and chemical composition. Washability analyses (or densimetric information) are used to specify the yield and quality of clean coal produced in coal processing plants. Traditional coal washability analysis is determined by conducting a sink-float test.
