Coal Mining and Processing Methods
Coal drying. Coal preparation plants that employ fine coal cleaning by froth flotation can produce an unacceptable amount of moisture in the product. Thermal drying, in which the wet coal is dried in the hot gas generated by a coal-or gas-fired burner, is used in some plants to reduce the moisture content. Refuse and tailings management.
