Case Study: Polyacrylamide for Coal Washing and Recovery
Problem:In coal mining, coal is often contaminated with impurities. The separation efficiency between coal and impurities can be improved by adding flotation agents. Fine coal needs to be separated efficiently from the impurities, and the fine coal in the tailings must be recovered through settling, filtration, or centrifugation.
Solution:Polyacrylamide is used in the settling process to promote solid-liquid separation. It is added to the thickener, where clear water is recovered and recycled via the overflow. The fine coal in the tailings is then recovered through filtration or centrifugation, with polyacrylamide added again to enhance separation efficiency.
For users in the coal washing industry, a specialized flocculant has been developed to improve separation in various coal mines, significantly reducing the required dosage of chemicals while ensuring optimal results.
Treatment Results:By incorporating polyacrylamide in the filtration and centrifugation processes, significant improvements in separation efficiency were observed. The process enhanced the recovery of fine coal, reducing waste and improving water reuse. This approach also decreased chemical usage, lowering operational costs for coal mining operations.
