The use of coal spoils as feed materials for alumina ...

1987-8-1 · A study has been made on the effect of the addition of fluoride ions on the leaching of clay-based feed materials, and in particular the extraction of aluminium from kaolinite, illite and a number of colliery spoil and coal ash materials. In all cases, the addition of fluoride ions led to a dramatic increase in the rate of extraction of aluminium.

Characterization of Coal Spoil Recovered from Coal Mine ...

As coal spoil was found as lumpy mass of fine particles, in dried condition it can produce serious dust problems. Particle size distribution of CS-1, CS-2 and CS-3 is shown in Figure 3. In each of the cases bimodal distribution was found for coal spoil samples with similar patterns. For CS-1, two major peaks were found around 20 µm and 250 µm.
