This research from the Central Fuel Research Institute, Dhanbad, explores the beneficiation of difficult-to-wash low volatile coals (LVCC) from Jharia and Bokaro coalfields, which are characterized by high ash content, low volatile matter, and poor washability potential. The study presents a detailed analysis of coal reserves, mining conditions, and existing beneficiation techniques. It advocates for a proposed multi-stage washing scheme aimed at improving coal quality and reducing cleaning costs, while highlighting the significance of LVCC in power generation and other applications.

  1. Central Fuel Research Institute Dhanbad 828 108presents Beneficiation of difficult-to-wash Low Volatile Coals of Jharia and Bokaro Coalfields by Kalyan Sen and Rahul Das Gupta

  2. Coal in India Total Coal Reserve 206 billion tonnes Distribution • Non Coking (Gondowana) 83 % • Coking (Gondowana) 14 % • Others 3 %

  3. Coking Coal Scenario

  4. Characteristics of LVCC • High raw coal ash 37-40% • Low volatile matter content 15-16% • Poor washability potential • High Maturity Ro = 1.3 • High Reserve 15,680 mt

  5. Mining Condition • LVC coals outcrop near the fringe areas of coalfields • Easy for Opencast production • Low overburden : coal ratio (upto 3) • Low slope (1 : 15) • Possibility of high scale mechanization

  6. Washability Potential • Very poor washability due to typical geological formation • Liberation of coal / mineral particles by progressive size reduction is insignificant

  7. Mayer’s Curve

  8. Present scenario • Annual Production of LVCC (16 -18 mt) • 8 to 10 mt from Jharia • 6 to 8 mt from East Bokaro • Use of NLW coals • Power Stations (major consumption) • Beehive ovens (minor consumption)

  9. Beneficiation in existing washeries Existing Washeries • 2-product circuit • About 70-75% with 40-45% ash with no market outlet • Cost of cleans is more than 5 times that of raw coal • 3-product circuit • 4-product circuit

  10. Beneficiation in existing washeries Existing Washeries • 3-product circuit • Low reject disposal capacity of old deshaling Jigs • LVCC requires about 20% disposal • Congenial defects in the cyclones circuits • 60% middlings with 45% ash (Fate ?) • 20% rejects - 50% with 41% ash (outlet ?) • Cost of cleans is 4 times that of raw coal ?

  11. Pilot Scale Study at CFRI 1200t of V-VI-VII-VIII seam coal was beneficiated in the Pilot Plant Cleans at 17-18% ash was carbonized at CFRI & RDCIS Tested at Bokaro test ovens Highly encouraging results

  12. Washed Coal Analysis Petrographic Analysis Mean Ro % 1.27 Vitrinite % 53.2 Semi Vitrinite % 4.8 Exinite % 0.3 Inertinite % 31.5 Mineral Matter % 10.2

  13. Washed Coal Analysis Chemical Analysis Moisture % 0.9 Ash % 18.3 V. M. (%dmf) 21.0 S.I. 5.0 Max Fl. (ddpm) 150.0

  14. Washed Coal Coke Property Porosity % 48.5 CRI 12.6 CSR 72.9 M40 82.6 M10 9.8

  15. Proposed Scheme • 4-Product Washing • Multi Stage Concept • 1st Stage 3-product Jig • 2nd Stage HM & Flotation

  16. 1st Stage Products • Rejects 28-30% wt, 60-65% ash • Middlings 20-22% wt, <34% ash • Pre-cleans (about 50%), 22-24% ash

  17. 2nd Stage Product • Cleans 25-30% wt, 18% ash • Foundry cleans 20-25% wt, 28% ash • Cost of cleans = about 3 times that of Raw coal

  18. Multi-stage Concept

  19. Comparative Cost of Cleans 2-product 5 3-product 4 4-product 3
