Abstract

A procedure for determining size and specific gravity distributions of the total quantity, and the sulfur and ash content of fine coal is described. The procedure involves cumulative fractionation by specific gravity followed by size separation by sieving. An averaging procedure is used to minimize experimental error and a regression method is employed in order to provide best estimates of the individual size-specific gravity fractions. An example of the application of the procedure to analyze froth flotation products is presented.
