 Technology Profile

Title:

De-ashing of High-ash Thermal Coal

Value Proposition:

De-ashing of the high-ash thermal coal by adopting the gravity concentration and flotation techniques.

Summary Application:

The technology involves treating the high-ash thermal coal for reducing the ash level by adopting the gravity concentration and flotation techniques in which the ash level can be reduced to 10-15% from a feed of 30-35% ash depending on the coal characteristics. The clean coal fines thus produced is utilised for injection in blast furnance.

Advantages:

The ash level can be reduced to 10-15% from a feed of 30-35% ash depending on the coal characteristics.
