In recent years,
froth flotation has been investigated extensively with major focus on studying the effects of various operation and design parameters on product yield and recovery (Cheng et al., 2016; Liao et al., 2016; Patil et al., 2010; Mondal and Mohanty, 2009; Jena et al., 2008; Dell, 1964).
It details the theories of origin and formation of coal, its constituents, sampling, calorific value, rank, properties, classification, coking tests, and size, proximate, and ultimate analysis; processing aspects, namely unit operations, screening, size reduction, dewatering, beneficiation processes, gravity concentration processes, heavy medium separation, jigging, flowing film concentration,
froth flotation, centrifugal separators, and coal washing; and coal utilization, including carbonization, combustion, gasification, liquefaction, and capture and storage.
