A process flow diagram for a typical coal cleaning plant is presented in Figure 11.10-1. In the initial preparation phase of coal cleaning, the raw coal is unloaded, stored, conveyed, crushed, and classified by screening into coarse and fine coal fractions. The size fractions are then conveyed to their respective cleaning processes.
Heavy medium coal washing technique can achieve deep coal desulfurization and ash reduction. It is an important approach that can ensure clean and efficient utilization of coal. Heavy medium coal washing technique is affected by the efficient and high-quality recovery of heavy medium.
Conventional coal washing plants generate clean coal with 15–18% ash content and 35–50% yield by several physical beneficiation techniques. Handling and disposal of the rest of 50% reject is an environmental concern and hence, alternate processes for utilization of high-ash washery rejects are of high importance.
In the coal washing process, huge quantity of water is used in fines classification and separation process. Bulk of the water that is used in the process needs be reduced before start of downstream operations. The separation of solids from liquids is done by gravity sedimentation in thickeners.
• Typical Emissions using raw coal (42%) in a standard Indian coal fired power plant. – Carbon Dioxide – 1.11 kilograms carbon dioxide per kilo watt hour of commercial power • Typical Emissions using washed coal (30%) in a standard Indian coal-fired power plant – Carbon Dioxide – 1.045 kilograms carbon dioxide per kilo watt hour
Today, the "heavy-media" process using magnetite is standard for coarse coal cleaning. ... processes to wash and recover fine coal resulted in the introduction of equipment such as centrifuges, froth flotation cells, disc filters, thickeners, cyclones, and thermal dryers. The unit processes in coal preparation plants vary, but the following ...
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 ...
Three kinds of processes may be performed at the plants: (1) sizing —controlled by a crushing and screening process, (2) increasing heating value —by removing noncombustible ash and rock by gravity separation, and (3) removing or controlling undesirable mineral and chemical components (sulfur, sodium, and trace …
The separation processes used in coal preparation plants remove noncombustible minerals that ultimately affect the amount and type of particulate matter (PM) that passes downstream to emission control systems. For these systems, proper levels of coal washing can be identified that effectively reduce ash loading and improve removal efficiencies.
