The most widely accepted method for upgrading ultrafine coal is froth flotation. Froth flotation is a physicochemical process that separates particles based on differences in surface wettability. Flotation takes place by passing finely dispersed air bubbles through an aqueous suspension of particles (Fig. 17). A chemical reagent, called a ...

In most operating coalcleaning plants, a significant amount of pyrite is recovered in the froth during flotation of highsulfur coal. This pyrite recovery is commonly believed to be a result of pyrite particles floating due to hydrophobicity. However, even though a wide range of pyrite depressants ...
