Multi-gravity separator (MGS) is a centrifugal gravity separator deployed for beneficiation of fine particles with relatively low concentration. It is for the first time that a statistical tool was engaged to evaluate effects of the most influencing process variables and their actual impact upon the performance of MGS with respect to its potential to clean the difficult-to-wash low volatile coking (LVC) coal fines. Characteristics of LVC coal sample were analyzed and discussed in terms of physical properties, petrographic composition, washability, XRD and SEM analysis. Three different feed sizes such as – 500 μm, – 250 μm and – 150 μm were used for assessing the separation mechanism and efficacy of MGS along with three different process variables such as drum speed, shaking amplitude and wash water rate to study and ascertain the most efficient experimental design for obtaining optimal result. Results revealed that drum speed and feed size turned out to be most significant parameters for reduction of ash concentration. In design of experiments, clean coal ash, combustible recovery and separation efficiency were considered as response functions. Material balance for MGS unraveled that about 74% clean coal produced with 10% ash reduction from the feed ash of 32.8% could be achieved in single stage, in optimized process conditions.
