Abstract. Electrostatic beneficiation is being investigated as a dry precombustion cleaning method for removing pyritic forms of sulfur from coal. The coal is ground to a fine powder and then electrostatically charged. The pyrite particles adopt a negative charge and the carbon particles a positive charge. The pyrite and carbon …Web

Coal is a complex geological body that is composed of organic material, gas, and water. Generally, coal with high hardness is commonly considered to be a non-outburst risk; however, several coal mines with hard coal seams in China have experienced coal and gas outbursts. Coals with different degrees of metamorphism have different inherent …Web
