Researcher prepares coal samples to be tested in the water-based Roben Jig coal washing process, a new method for cleaning metallurgical coal that could replace the traditional chemical-based process.

A new method of testing exploration coal samples could not only be less harmful to the environment, it could also result in a more accurate assessment of how economically viable coal projects are.

The under-bed pulsated BATAC® jig has proved ideal for coarse applications from 150 mm down to fine coal in the 10 to 0,5 mm size range, with throughput rates of between 100 and 1,200 tph.

“The Roben Jig uses a simple water-based shaking technique to wash coal samples as effectively as traditional processes, without the use of carcinogenic organic liquids,” Geoscience BC says.

Chris Stigall talked to Wall Street Journal Columnist Stephen Moore on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT about new regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency on carbon emissions from power plants.

The use of modern vibrating screens is seen as an integral part of the drive towards improved coal beneficiation technology and increased efficiencies throughout the value chain. MBE Minerals SA ...
