In a standard floatsink analysis, set amounts of the representative coal sample are crushed to a specified particle size and placed in liquids of known density or across a range of densities. Coal has relatively low density or specific gravity ( to ) compared to other rocks such as shale ( to ) or minerals such as pyrite ( to ).
These are referred to as 'float and sink' tests. Coal has a density of around 1,300 kg m3, whereas mineral matter ( impurities present, 'ash') often have densities exceeding 2,000 kg m3 (2). It can therefore be inferred that a higher density coal sample will have a higher proportion of ash because ash is more dense than coal(3).
Coal is a complex geologic material composed mainly of organic matter and mineral matter, the latter including minerals, poorly crystalline mineraloids, and elements associated with nonmineral ...
The process of separating particulate materials on the basis of their specific gravities is referred to as gravity separation. The objective of the coal washability principle is to develop routine protocols that include the floatandsink test, ash analysis, and evaluation of partition curves to obtain maximum possible separation performances for a given mineral (or coal) feed [1, 2].

It can be seen that after the completion of 180 s of flotation, the ash recovery increased from % in tap water to % in NB water. Given the fine and hydrophilic nature of kaolinite particles and the low ash content of the clean coal, the majority of the mineral matter (ash) recovered should be via entrainment.

The reported highash content (>80%) in the density fraction lying between and g/cm 3 indicated the presence of substantial mineral matter. Its high quartz content (72% of the ash content) is accompanied by clay minerals indicating a more inert geochemical environment when compared with the bulk discards.
The strong correlation was obtained between the float and sink test results especially with the ash content of the coal samples and the combustible characteristic of the floated materials such as ...
The conventional floatsink and reflux classification methods used were shown to successfully eliminate liberated minerals and produced maceralrich float fractions (98%) macerals. The main differences between the feed coals were related to the mode of occurrence of mineral matter.
Coal is a complex material formed by diagenesis of organic matter and incorporating a broad range of minerals (Finkelman et al., 2019) and chemical elements (Swaine, 1990; Ketris and Yudovich, 2009) (also see Fig. 1).Coal formed from algal remains or spores is referred to as sapropelic coal and that from the decomposition of higher plants, humic coal; the latter being the most abundant coal ...
A method for calculating the degree of mineral matter liberation by the sinkfloat separation data of coal was studied. The mineral composition was estimated by norm calculation using the results of elemental analyses of sinkfloat separated coals.
A total of 10 coal samples were selected for floatandsink analyses to investigate the distribution pattern of Se in floating coal. The results showed that the average Se concentration of Chinese coal was μg/g, which is identical with the results of previous research studies, which found an average Se concentration of 2~3 μg/g.
The behavior of coal in densitybased cleaning processes can be predicted from a series of floatsink (or washability) tests carried out on a crushed sample in the sample is placed in a heavy liquid of known density (, g cm − 3) and the floating fraction skimmed off for weighing and sinking fraction is then placed in a liquid of somewhat higher density ...
