The test performed by placing a sample Of coal in progressively heavier specific gravity baths and scooping Off the material that floats. This test shows how the quality and weight of
Dense Medium (DM) separation, which simulates the effect of using a heavy liquid of the appropriate density to effect a float/sink separation of coal from associated mineral matter. In commercial practice, this is achieved by using a suspension of finely ground dense solids (, magnetite with specific gravity ) in water.
These are referred to as 'float and sink' tests. Coal has a density of around 1,300 kg m3, whereas mineral matter ( impurities present, 'ash') often have densities exceeding 2,000 kg m3 (2). It can therefore be inferred that a higher density coal sample will have a higher proportion of ash because ash is more dense than coal(3).

The floatsink test is a commonly used technology for the study of coal washability, which determines optimal separation density for coal washing based on the desired sulfur and ash yield of the cleaned coal. In this study, the floatsink test is adopted for a highsulfur Late Permian coal from Hongfa coalmine (), southwestern Guizhou, China, to investigate its washability, and to analyze ...
Flotation has been widely applied in coal processing to separate mineral matter from coal and enrich macerals. In this work, four kinds of coal samples were chosen from different coal fields, and the thermogravimetric analyzer and fixed bed reactor were used to study the pyrolysis behavior and product distribution of coal sample with different densities prepared by the floatsink method.
The behavior of coal in densitybased cleaning processes can be predicted from a series of floatsink (or washability) tests carried out on a crushed sample in the sample is placed in a heavy liquid of known density (, g cm − 3) and the floating fraction skimmed off for weighing and sinking fraction is then placed in a liquid of somewhat higher density ...

Coal cleaning characteristics of coal depend on three main parameters such as coal liberation, coal washability, and separator performance. Coal consists of organic matter which has a low density of g/cc and mineral matter or shale with a high density of g/cc.
The popular method of separation of macerals are fl oat. sink and flotation, but some other techniques like oil. agglomeration are also being developed in some countries. Sarkar et al. studied ...

Classification of Coal. Coal constitutes a heterogeneous mixture of transformed organic vegetal matter and associated inorganic materials. It is rich in carbon and mineral matter. Coalification refers to the series of processes involved during the transformation of this organic vegetation into coal.
