South African coal mines largely use spirals to clean coal of 2 mm x 0.15 mm in size. In some cases spirals are used to treat feed with a top size of 3 mm. The MX7 model has been used for decades as a spiral of choice for fine coal cleaning, especially for the difficult to clean coal (Klima & Benusa, 2006). The MX7 spiral has a recommended

combined rougher/cleaner coal spiral. MD coal spiral technology has been at the leading edge of fi ne coal processing for more than 25 years. MD coal spirals ensure low capital and operating costs while achieving single-stage relative density cut points between 1.5 and 2.0, with EPs ranging from 0.10 to 0.25 depending on size and d50. General ...

The Northern Hemisphere coal mines and plant designers realized the need for low cut spirals and requested Multotec to supply a low RD cut spiral. The plant footprint …

Low-density separation techniques are the big driver in fine coal recovery for met coal producers worldwide, Bethell explained. "Traditionally, in the last 30 years, spiral circuits would make a cut point in the 1.7-1.8 range, which means incrementally 35% ash material would report to the product stream," Bethell said.

The need for a model arose out of noticing trends in the data collected on a previous washability analysis. In the washability analysis, eight runs were made, four on a rougher coal spiral and four on a rougher cleaner coal spiral. For each set of four, the volumetric feed rate and solid % were varied as seen in Table 33.2.

Eight buckets of wet coal samples were collected from Shade Coal Preparation Plant, including the feed, clean coal, refuse, and middlings for fine spiral and coarse spiral, respectively. Float-sink analysis was performed on these size intervals using LMT (Lithium Metatungstate) liquids. Size distribution analysis is conducted for each size …

Testing was conducted to evaluate the effects of hydroacoustic cavitation (HAC) treatment on spiral separation when processing nominal -1500 m Illinois-basin bituminous coal. Cavitation was produced either by flow through an ultrasonic resonator chamber or enhanced cavitation by initial flow through a cavitation box followed by flow through the ...

The complex flow pattern which results in the separation of particles on spiral trough has fascinated researchers over decades. It has kept researchers busy with their attempts to understand the flow patterns and their effect on the separation of particles in different sections of the spiral trough, and the same has been discussed in detail in the …

This paper proposes methods to reduce energy consumption for the transportation of coal slurries. Spiral pipe is one of the methods that can improve drag reduction at certain velocity as well as prevent decomposition at the pipe bottom and generate homogenous particles distribution. The objective is to investigate the influence …

Spiral concentrators (Fig. 5.2.3) are devices to separate different solid components in slurrybased upon a combination of the solid particle density, as well as the particle's hydrodynamic properties (e.g., drag).The device consists of a tower, around which is wound a sluice, from which slots or channels are placed in the base of the sluice to extract solid …

August 23, 2013 10:40 PM Age: 11 years. The Mongolian Minister of Mining, Davaajav Gankhuyag, meeting with journalists in an August 9 press conference, confirmed the continuing decline in coal exports to China, Mongolia's most important trade partner: "The slow speed of economic growth of Mongolia is caused by a drop in China's demand and ...

A re-pulper redistributes the slurry back onto the spiral trough, Reed explained, and that serves as the cleaner function for the middlings and clean coal. A typical setup would be triple start spirals operating at roughly 35 gallons per minute (gpm) or a nominal 2.5-3 tons per hour (tph) with a cut point specific gravity (s.g.) range of 1.8-1.9.

The coal spiral has a relatively small axial and radial inclination, which implies that the outward centrifugal force is always limited. As a result, the bulk of the relatively heavy soil moves to the inner rim while light, organic contaminants concentrate away from the inner rim. An earlier study showed that certain heavy metals also ...
