Flotation behavior of pyrite in sub-bituminous and meta-bituminous coals with starch depressant in a microflotation cell

Removal of pyrite from coals is very important to reduce the emission of SO2 during coal combustion. The selective flotation of pyrite from coal is challenging due to the hydrophobic nature of both coal and pyrite particles. The surface properties of coal vary significantly with the degree of coalif...
