Abstract

Coal is one of the main energy sources in Turkey; it is used for both domestic heating and energy generation in power plants. However, most of these coals have low calorific value, high ash and sulfur content and high slagging potential. Therefore, they usually need to be cleaned before using in heating or power generation. Coal preparation operations consider the removal of ash forming material from the Run-of-Mine (ROM) coal. Dense-medium separators are employed in the majority of coal preparation plants for this purpose in Turkey. In this study, the effect of coal cleaning process on the quality and slagging potential of Bagyaka coal were investigated by the application of float-sink tests.
