A coarse coal slime classifying system and method are disclosed. The system includes: a coal slime bucket, an arc-shaped sieve, a hydraulic classifying cyclone, a coal slime centrifuge, and a coal slime chute. The coal slime bucket is connected to a coal slime water incoming pipe. The hydraulic classifying cyclone is connected to the arc-shaped sieve and the coal slime bucket. The arc-shaped sieve is connected to the coal slime bucket and the coal slime centrifuge. The coal slime centrifuge is connected to the coal slime chute and the coal slime bucket. The coal slime bucket, arc-shaped sieve, hydraulic classifying cyclone, coal slime centrifuge, and coal slime chute are arranged to classify coarse coal slime, which improves the product quality and the yield. The system is simple in overall structure, convenient to maintain, and low in cost.

The present disclosure relates to the field of mineral processing and separation, and in particular, to an underground coal hypergravity field separation system and a separation process. The separation system includes a grading hydrocyclone group, hypergravity field separators, feeding pumps, and conveying pumps. Coal collected underground is graded through a grading hydrocyclone first, then is fed into the hypergravity field separators for separation, and finally, is conveyed to a next link for dehydration through the conveying pumps. The separation system of the present disclosure has less supporting equipment, small floor area, and no complex pipeline, and is suitable for a downhole operation. In addition, the hypergravity field separators can provide a high-strength centrifugal acceleration, which can realize rapid separation of coal gangue particles in a radial direction and a tangential direction, and realize effective separation of fine coal gangue particles.

A process for separating Anthracite and low quality carbon from refuse. Crushed refuse is admixed with water from a water storage source. The admixture is transferred to a first cyclone separator to divide the admixture into a refuse rich slurry stream and a carbonaceous rich slurry stream. The refuse rich slurry stream is dewatered through a vibrating screen and the water collected sent to the raw feed sump source. The carbonaceous rich slurry is directed to a second cyclone separator to separate low quality carbon from high quality carbon, the high quality carbon is transferred to a third cyclone separator used to separate the media water therefrom. The separated media water is returned via a siphon leg to the raw feed sump, and the dewatered high quality Anthracite is available for markets requiring higher quality carbon.

An advanced method and system for processing mixtures containing clay, metals, and pollutants. The process begins with the separation of clay and metal, followed by the detoxification of pollutants using magnetic beads. Enhancement of pollutant treatment is achieved through the application of nano-bubbles generated by a proprietary bubble generator. The method further includes a detailed screening and classification of particles, utilizing magnetic and gravity separation techniques, the latter of which is supported by an innovative anti-leakage net designed to capture and recycle leaked particles. The process concludes with the effective separation and collection of target elements and rare earth elements (REE), employing flotation for the final classification and extraction. This method represents a comprehensive and efficient approach to mixture processing, emphasizing pollutant removal and resource recovery.

A process for concentrating and separating rare earth elements including lithium and titanium from coal refuse. Crushed refuse admixed with water is transferred to a first cyclone separator to divide the admixture into a refuse rich slurry stream and a carbonaceous rich slurry stream. The refuse rich slurry stream is dewatered through a vibrating screen and the water sent to a raw feed sump source. The carbonaceous rich slurry is directed to a second cyclone separator to separate low quality carbon from high quality carbon, the high quality carbon is transferred to a third cyclone separator used to separate the element rich media. The media water is returned to the raw feed sump and the bleed media is directed to a centrifuge which thickens the concentration of rare earth elements and minerals. The effluent is directed to a tailings pond or vacuum press.
