More DetailsA coal preparation plant (CPP; also known as a coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP), coal handling plant, prep plant, tipple or wash plant) is a facility that washes coal of soil and rock, crushes it into graded sized chunks (sorting), stockpiles grades preparing it for transport to market, and more often than not, also loads coal into rail cars, barges, or ships.
More Details· Once again, the existing plant density gauge (P) and control system misinterpreted the higher rock content in the high-reject feed coal as too much medium and reduced the density. As such, the SG*50 for particles in the DMC circuit changed from about 1.54 SG to 1.51 SG when switching from a low-reject to high-reject feed coal.
More DetailsHeavy Media Gravity Separation Heavy media gravity separation involves using a mixture of fine media material, such as magnetite (SG 5.1) or ferrosilicon (SG 6.8), suspended in a slurry of water, to produce a media slurry with a specific gravity that will allow low density material(s) to float, and other high density material(s) to sink.

More DetailsThe density gauges already in use in all dense medium cyclone plants provide a reliable mearsurement of circulating medium density. If a cyclonic separator could be made to separate efficiently at the feed medium density - that is, with a zero offset - the problem would be overcome in a cost effective manner by the retrofitting of such separators.
