95104458 Electrostatic beneflclation of coal
L.indquist, D. A. et aL, Proc. Mater. Res. Sot Symp. Advances in Porous
Materials, 1995, 371: 459-463.
Electrostatic beneticiation is being investigated as a dry precombustion
cleaning method for removing pyritic forms of sulphur from coal. The coal
is ground to a fine powder and then electrostatically charged. The pyrite
particles adopt a ne ative charge and the carbon particles a possible
charge. The pyrite and carbon fractions can then be separated in an electro-
static separator based on their charge differences. The efficiency of the
beneficiation process is determined by quantitative sulphur analysis of the
feed and processed coal.
