Abstract
The overall objective of the research program is to explore the potential application of a new invention involving a multistage column equipped with concentric draft-tubes (hereafter referred to as the multistage column) for fine coal cleaning and other fluid/particle separation processes. The research work will identify the design parameters and their effects on the performance of the separation process. The results of this study will provide an engineering basis for further development of this technology in coal cleaning and in the general areas of fluid/particle separation. Wastewater treatment tests program was conducted during this quarter. Preliminary tests showed that the multistage column had superior performance to conventional column. In both batch and continuous operations, the oil removal efficiencies were higher than 90%. The results were also compared with data reported in the open literature. 7 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
