Abstract

Choice of collector in coal flotation worldwide has been limited to kerosene and diesel oil. For various reasons, mostly related to reagent properties, the latter has been traditionally used in coal flotation in India. In a recent development, commercial synthetic collectors are being launched in the market. Objective of the present work is to compare between the performance of two collectors, diesel oil and one such commercial synthetic collector for the size fractions; -0.5+0.1mm &-0.1mm. These are the typical feed sizes in split feed coal flotation. The compa-rison was done on the basis of a flotation performance evaluation parameter called “Separation Efficiency Rate (SER)” and also the reagent cost.
