Popis: The distribution of 3 × 1 mm fine coal particles across the fluidized bed was analyzed during beneficiation of coal in a gas–solid fluidized-bed separator. The effect of accumulation of the fine coal on the bed performance was also studied. The experimental results show that as 3 × 1 mm size fine coal content increases in the solid medium the mean density of bed decreases linearly. A mathematical model was developed that can predict the standard deviation of the bed density. The bed density increases sharply as the coal-fines content exceeds 4.5 weight%, at which point the bed becomes unstable and poor fluidization performance takes place. Furthermore, the separation performance of a bed was measured by 50 × 6 mm size tracker balls. The separation performance decreased gradually as the fine coal particles accumulated. When the content of the bed reached 4.5 weight%, the probable error, E, rose from 0.05–0.08 g/cm3. Therefore, to maintain good fluidization and separation performance the 3 × 1 mm fine coal ...
