9 coals with different washability potential

From seam III to seam VIII

Raw coals were crushed to 75 mm

Only one coal was crushed to 13 mm

Separated into 2 sizes (75-6 & 6-0.5 mm)

Raw Coals

AimTo beneficiate optimally

at an ash level of

16.5 to 17.5 %

Circuit “I” Each separately crushed & screened

Coarser 75-6 mm fraction

Smaller 6-0.5 mm fraction

Beneficiate each fractions to 17 % ash

Composite yield - Blended cleans

Circuit “II”

Blending of raw coals

Crushed & screened to,

Coarser 75-6 mm fraction

Smaller 6-0.5 mm fraction

Beneficiate both fractions to 17 % ash

Composite yield - Blended cleans
