Coal refuse (also described as coal waste, coal tailings, waste material, culm, boney, or gob) is the material left over from coal mining, usually as tailings piles or spoil tips. For every tonne of hard coal generated by mining, 400 kilograms of waste material remains, which includes some lost coal that is partially economically recoverable. Coal refuse is distinct from the byproducts of ...
This plant receives the tailings from the upstream coal concentrate enrichment plant. The tailings processing plant produces 33 t/h of dry cake, with a residual moisture level of 25%. This output is sold to a nearby power plant, and the recycled water is reused at Tata's coal and steel washing plant, resulting in major water savings.

Coal preparation plant is a coal processing plant that include a series of processes: raw coal screening, crushing, coal washing, separation, clean coal dewatering and slime recycling. Which can separate coal from impurities, remove mineral impurities from raw coal and divide it into different specifications of products.
The model is created to demonstrate the distribution of grade throughout a tailings dump and to also verify the bulk volume using the survey data produced by surveyors. Knowing the deposition history of a tailings dump and, possibly, past process plant efficiencies, gives an idea of what to expect in terms of mineralogy and metals of interest.
