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 ...
Coal Preparation
Coal preparation, also called washing, cleaning, processing, and beneficiation of coal, is a physical process where coal is upgraded by the reduction of ash, sulfur, and moisture content. Finally, three different streams of product are produced, namely, clean coal, middlings, and rejects.
