    This document discusses the impurities found in coal and the objectives and advantages of coal washing. It describes two types of impurities - fixed impurities that cannot be removed and free impurities like dirt and rocks that can be removed through washing. The objectives of coal washing are to reduce ash, sulfur, and phosphorous content while increasing heating value and efficiency. This leads to advantages like higher efficiency, reduced transport and storage costs, and less clinkering and ash disposal issues. The document outlines different coal washing processes like gravity separation, float and sink, and froth flotation methods.

    WASHING OF COAL
    IMPURITIES OF COAL

    Fixed and inherent impurities


    Free impurities
    FIXED AND INHERENT
    IMPURITIES

    Derived from coal forming plant


    Can not be separated from coal by
    washing
    FREE IMPURITIES

    Adhering to the surface of the coal


    Comprise mainly of dirt band and
    rock particles
    Can be removed by washing
    NATURE OF IMPURITIES
    Residual inorganic matter of coal forming
    plant
    Mineral matter washed into coal forming
    during period of formation
    Sedimentary deposits during coal forming
    periods
    Saline deposits
    Slate, shale, clay etc from the underlying
    and overlying strata
    Moisture
    OBJECTIVES OF COAL
    WASHING
    Reduce its ash content
    Reduces its sulphur and phosphorous
    content
    Increases its heating value
    Improve its coking properties
    Reduces its clinkering properties
    Increases its efficiency in use
    ADVANTAGES OF CLEAN
    COAL

    Higher efficiency of utilization


    Economy of transport and storage
    Less clinkering trouble in burner and
    gasifier
    Less of ash disposal problems
    Improved coking properties
