Course Objectives
The aim of this course is to review coal flotation fundamentals, to discuss interrelated engineering aspects and to show how better understanding of the fundamentals can be utilized to improve industrial results.
Course Outline
The topics covered will include:
- Introduction to coal preparation and circuits
- Coal characteristics related to coal preparation
- Testing including floatability curves
- Coal surface properties
- Reagents in coal flotation
- Flotation technology
- Flotation machines
- Particle size enlargement
- Fine coal utilisation
Course Attendees
The course is designed for engineers working in coal preparation. It is intended to provide the practicing coal preparation engineer with a knowledge of the current technology and an understanding of the fundamentals on which coal flotation is based.
Course Timing and Location
This course is scheduled for 9th - 10th August, 2007.
It will be held at the Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre in Brisbane, Australia.
