Coal | Properties, Formation, Occurrence and Uses
Coal is a non-clastic sedimentary rock.They are the fossilized remains of plants and are in flammable black and brownish-black tones. Its main element is carbon, but it can also contain different elements such as hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen. Unlike coal minerals, it does not have a fixed chemical composition and crystal structure.Depending …

The Exploration Process
The Exploration Process. Mineral exploration is a set of processes that are followed to discover whether economic minerals occur in a particular area. The process generally begins with broad-scale exploration over a wide region that, as targets are identified, narrows down to thorough investigation, usually through drilling and sampling.

Coal flotation as a rate process | Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration
Coal flotation is found to follow a first order process with the coal floating much faster than either pyrite or ash. This circumstance may be used to achieve gangue rejection during flotation. When floated with MIBC, cresol, or pine oil frothers, coal floats in the size sequence: 208 µm (−65 mesh), 589 × 208 µm (28 × 65 mesh), and 1.17 ...
