Abstract:
Article provides review of modern research of coal dewatering technologies, such as drum drying, tube drying, boiling layer and convection drying. Presented working parameters and constructive characteristics analysis of mentioned technologies to assess their applicability in underground hydraulic coal mines. Authors conclude that despite worse energy efficiency per ton dryed, tube and convection dryers are better applicable for underground conditions due to smaller size. Also authors note perspectives of further contact dryers development for dewatering of coal fines.
Keywords:
coal dewatering, underground hydraulic mining, conduction drying
