The content of external water in fine moist material plays significant role on screening. This article probed into the causations why fine moist materials adhere to the screen deck on common vibrator in the process of screening. Although the wetting that results from interactions between the coal surface and water molecules that are determined by the composition of coal matrix (interrelated with coal rank) and heterogeneous constituents such as oxygen function groups, mineral impurities and pores have something to do with adhering, we found that the effect of wettability is not the key causation to agglomeration, in other words, water bridges among particles are the key causation to the fine moist materials’ adhesion. This paper also shows how the capillary adhesive forces forms and how to calculate and measure these forces.展开更多

Recently, the flip-flow screening has been widely recognized as a feasible method to deal with the problem. In this paper, a novel centralized-driving flip-flow screen(CFS) was developed for the separation of fine and moist coal, and the key structures, namely, a centralized-driving mechanism and a quasi-circle beam mounted with the mat were designed for high reliability and stability. By means of a test on an experimental prototype, the effect of some factors, i.e., initial stretch and hardness of the polyurethane panel, respectively, and the rotation speed of the driving motor on the kinematic characteristic of the screen surface was investigated. Results show that without an initial stretch, the sieve mat generates the largest vibratory amplitude while the slacker the sieve mat initially is, the smaller amplitude it will accomplish. And an increase in the rotation speed could cause a rise in the vibratory amplitude. Unlike the two factors, the hardness does not have a definite effect on the kinematic performance, on which a further study is required. Finally, screening processing on a laboratory prototype was conducted to draw the conclusion that the developed CFS also has a high sieving efficiency for the fine and moist coal.展开更多

A series of optimized values of relevant parameters are found and then compared with those of the current industrial specifications. The results show that the optimized value K s approaches the one of those famous flip-flow screens in the world. Some new findings on geometric and kinematics parameters are useful for improving the flip-flow screens with a low K s value, which is helpful in developing clean coal technology.展开更多

More than 600PSS's have been installed in Chinese coal mines, bringing about economic benefits to both coal producers and consumers in terms of reduced energy saving, transpertation cost reduction,and environmental protection. While the PSS treats some high-moisture fine raw coal, the mesh apertures may be blinded by the fine particles stuck on the mesh wire of the screen. Recently, the authors have developed the Piano-wire Probability Screen, a new screen which screens moist fine raw coal. This screen assimilates advantages of PSS, having large deck inclination, large aperture and multideck. In addition the new screen uses piano-wire decks which have a new structure, great open area, and no blinding. The results of sizing fine moist raw coal in Lugou Coal Mine, Henan Province,show that the Piano-wire Probability Screen has a large capacity and high efficiency and is an efficient screen for separating moist raw coal with diameter of 6mm. This paper describes the results of fundamental studies on the Piano-wire Probability Screen. and also includes data from pilot-plant studies.展开更多
