Coal washing filter fabrics

According to the requirements from the coal preparation/coal dressing plants, Zonel Filtech developed several kinds of filter fabrics for the coaling washing process so as to help them concentrate the coal slurry and purify the wastewater when coal washing processing, the filter fabrics from Zonel Filtech for coal washing works with the properties of:

1. Under a certain filter efficiency with good air and water permeability, very suitable for fine coal slurry concentrating.

2. Smooth surface, easy cake release, reduce the maintenance cost.

3. Not easy to block, so reusable after wash, longer using life.

4. Material can be customized according to different working conditions.

Typical parameters of the coaling washing filter fabrics:

Why do we need to wash the coal?
As we know, the raw coal is mixed with many impure substances, after coal washing in coal preparation plants, which can be divided into coal gangue, medium coal, grade B clean coal, and grade A clean coal, then used in various industrial usages.

But why do we need to do this work?

The main reasons as follows:
1. Improve coal quality and reduce emissions of coal-fired pollutants
Coal washing can remove 50%-80% of ash and 30%-40% of total sulfur (or 60%~80% of inorganic sulfur), which can reduce soot, SO2, and NOx efficiently when coal burning, so reducing much pressure for the pollution controlling works.

2. Improve coal utilization efficiency and save energy

Some studies have shown that:
The ash content of coking coal is reduced by 1%, the coke consumption of ironmaking is reduced by 2.66%, the utilization factor of ironmaking blast furnace can be increased by 3.99%; the production of ammonia using washing anthracite can be saved by 20%;
The coal ash for thermal power plants, for every 1% increase, the calorific value is reduced by 200~360J/g, and the standard coal consumption per kWh is increased by 2~5g; for industrial boilers and kiln burning washing coal, the thermal efficiency can be increased by 3%~8%.

3. Optimize product structure and improve product competitiveness

According to the development of the coal preparation technology, coal products from single structure low quality changed to multiple structures and high quality so as to meet the requirements of different clients due to the environmental protection policy is tougher and tougher, in some areas, coal sulfur content is less than 0.5% and ash content is less than 10%.
If the coal is not washed, sure it won’t meet the market requirements.

4. save much transportation cost

As we know, the coal mines are always far away from the end users, after washing, many impure substances are picked out, and the volume will be much, which will save much transportation costs of course.
