Abstract
The influence of flotational enrichment on the economic performance of Abashevskaya enrichment facility between 2013 and 2024 is investigated. Operational data for the enterprise are analyzed: for example, the throughput of coal of different ranks; efficiency of equipment use; the rock content of the concentrate; and the variation in concentrate yield. The results show that the introduction of flotational enrichment in 2019 greatly improved the plant’s economic performance. In particular, the coal throughput, the efficiency of equipment use, and the concentrate yield increased, while the rock content of the concentrate fell. Note that large coal fractions were mainly processed before the introduction of flotation, whereas slurry processing was possible afterward. That expanded the range of inputs that may be processed. The analysis indicates successful adaptation of the enterprise to the new technology and optimization of the flotation process for specific conditions. Further innovations to improve the enrichment efficiency should be developed.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes scientific developments and applications in the field of coal beneficiation and preparation for coking, coking processes, design of coking ovens and equipment, by-product recovery, automation of technological processes, ecology and economics. It also presents indispensable information on the scientific events devoted to thermal rectification, use of smokeless coal as an energy source, and manufacture of different liquid and solid chemical products.
