Popis: Centrifugal sink/float and continuous flow centrifuge separations were conducted on a −100-mesh high-volatile bituminous coal. Using CsCl/Brij-35 as the separation media, float and sink phases could be enriched to greater than 75% pure phases. This enrichment was less than expected under the separating conditions employed. The reasons for this behavior were not clear. The float and sink phases were monitored by analytical density gradient centrifugation. The gradient was documented by both the standard flow cell method and direct imaging of the density distributions
