Abstract
An industrial fly ash sample was cleaned by three different processes, which were triboelectrostatic separation, ultrasonic column agglomeration, and column flotation, cleaned an industrial fly ash sample. The unburned carbon concentrates were collected at purities ranging up to 62% at recoveries of 62%. In addition, optical microscopy studies were conducted on the final carbon concentrates to determine the types of carbon (inertinite, isotropic coke and anisotropic coke) collected from these various cleaning processes. The effects of the various cleaning processes on the production of different carbon types from fly ash will be discussed.
