โฆ Synopsis
The removal of fines from small grades of subbituminous coal improves the performance of these coals in stoker firing. In the preparation of these industrial slack grades in New Zealand, there is no need for washing and the coals are relatively dry. Pneumatic classification has therefore been investigated on a semi-commercial scale with the objective of effecting a separation at a particle size of about 2.5 mm. The work has shown that relatively high efficiencies of size separation can be achieved. The results are applied to the design of commercial equipment.
