Gravity-Based Separation
Gravity-based separation technologies are the backbone of any coal preparation plant. Gravity separations are informed by float/sink or washability analyses as illustrated in Table 4, showing the distribution of specific gravities in one size fraction of coal. There would be similar tables for each size fraction.
