Abstract
ABSTRACT In the coal and mineral beneficiation industries, screening is one of the crucial physical separation methods carried out to separate the undersized fine particles from the oversize coarse particles. The vibratory screener is a relatively advanced screening technology applied for coal and iron ore beneficiation. This paper deals with the experimental investigation for assessing the efficiency of screening coal and iron ore in the vibratory screener. Furthermore, a comparative study between the test performance of screening coal and iron ore was carried out depending on moisture and density variation. Test results show that the vibratory screener can provide a high recovery of fines and increased efficiency for screening iron ore than coal material. The maximum efficiency of iron ore was attained at a higher angular position, such as 3 and 5 degrees in an upward slope, whereas the maximum efficiency of coal was attained at 1 degree in an upward slope.
