Abstract
Abstract In exploratory laboratory measurements, high field high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) has removed as much as 74% of the mineral matter and 99% of the pyritic sulfur from micronized coals with mineral contents up to 16.39 wt%. Magnetic cleaning methods are limited by the fact that not all mineral matter in coal is magnetic. HGMS methods are further restricted when mineral matter levels generally exceed about 2 to 3% because of excessive capture-matrix loading which leads to poor clean coal weight yields. The use of selective flocculation of coal mineral matter and processing at high flow velocities (made possible with the use of high field superconductive magnet technology) offer hope for overcoming these process limitations and for extending use of HGMS technology to preparation of low ash and low sulfur coal-slurry fuels. Measurements of mineral matter and sulfur removals achieved in high field HGMS processing of water slurries of dispersed micronized coals are presented. Field strengths u...
