    Reagents in coal processing: where do they go?
    Morris, Josh; Sarver, Emily A.; Luttrell, Gerald H.; Novak, John T. (Canadian Institute Of Mining, Metallurgy And Petroleum, 2012-10)
    A variety of reagents are utilized in coal preparation, but aside from performing their desired function relatively little is known about the behavior of these reagents within the processing circuits. Where exactly do reagents go once dosed? In this paper, we present preliminary results of partitioning studies on frother (i.e., MIBC) and collector (i.e., petro-diesel) chemicals commonly used in coal flotation, and examine implications for water management (e.g., in closed-loop systems). Additionally, we discuss the usefulness of such data in predicting environmental transport and fate of chemicals – which is currently a top priority for industry.
