New separators based on the action of centrifugal force fields and possibilities of their utilisation in coal preparation

Abstract

The contribution gives an attention to a new generation of equipment operating under action of high centrifugal forces. Their development was caused by a low efficiency of conventional mineral processing facilities as well as by the losses of valuable components in tailings at preparation of fine-grained raw materials. The first pilot plant experiments and tests under operating conditions confirmed the suitability of their design and enabled their introduction to the mineral processing and coal preparation plants as well as to the waste disposal.
