Cleaning techniques

Although froth flotation is recognized as the best available fine coal cleaning technique, it becomes iueffective when the particle size is much smaller than 0.1 mm or when the feed contains a large amount of clay, resulting iu low coal recovery or poor selectivity. A solution to these problems is the use of modified flotation devices.

Winnowing/sieving separation before drying is recommended at elevated contents of weeds, unripe grain, straw, soil, etc. Winnowing or other cleaning techniques will reduce the risk of damp pockets. This is especially important in slow dryers. 

In general, silver concentrations in surface waters of the United States decreased between 1970-74 and 1975-79, although concentrations increased in the north Atlantic, Southeast, and lower Mississippi basins (USPHS 1990). About 30 to 70% of the silver in surface waters may be ascribed to suspended particles (Smith and Carson 1977), depending on water hardness or salinity. For example, sediments added to solutions containing 2 pg Ag/L had 74.9 mg Ag/kg DW sediment after 24 h in freshwater, 14.2 mg/kg DW at 1.5% salinity and 6.9 mg/kg DW at 2.3% salinity (Sanders and Abbe 1987). Riverine transport of silver to the ocean is considerable suspended materials in the Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania — that contained as much as 25 mg silver/kg — resulted in an estimated transport of 4.5 metric tons of silver to the ocean each year (USEPA 1980). The most recent measurements of silver in rivers, lakes, and estuaries using clean techniques show levels of about 0.01 pg/L for pristine, nonpolluted areas and 0.01 to 0.1 pg/L in urban and industrialized areas (Ratte 1999). 

Most measurements of silver concentrations in natural waters prior to the use of clean techniques are considered inaccurate. Until analytical capabilities that exceed the dissolved-particulate classification are developed, it will be necessary to rely on laboratory and theoretical modeling studies to fully understand chemical speciation of silver in natural waters (Andren et al. 1995). 

Ultrafiltration hollow-fiber modules are usually made with a shell and tube configuration. The fibers are potted at both ends of the module with the fiber lumen open for recirculation of the process stream (Figure 21). Naturally, strainers or prefilters must be utilized to eliminate plugging of the fibers. At Nude-pore, it has been shown that larger diameter hollow fibers, 1.5 to 3mm in i.d., are much less prone to fouling. Fortunately, all UF hollow fiber systems can be back-washed and are amenable to a number of cleaning techniques.

This test is not regular practice but shall be used if a resistant microorganism is detected, for cleaning techniques and personnel practices trouble-shooting, or for a specific disinfectant.

Recent studies directed at assessing the fate and transport of Hg in natural waters used improved analytical methods and clean techniques for sampling and analysis (9, 10). Some lake studies (II, 12) were directed at assessing the effects of point-source Hg inputs, such as chloroalkali manufacturing plants and mining operations other studies (13-16) were developed in response to concerns over recent observations of elevated Hg levels in fish from lakes remote from point sources.
