  • Processing of Mineral Products
  • Coal Preparation
DEF

An appliance for the dry cleaning of ore or coal.

OBS

It consists of a perforated deck, with vertical ribs or riffles, which is reciprocated and the motion keeps the bed of raw coal sufficiently mobile for the blast of air from below to effect a process of stratification (or layering). The coal rises to the surface, with dirt at the base and a central layer of middlings.

DEF

Table de concentration à secousses travaillant à sec dont le plateau poreux laisse passer un courant d'air assurant une certaine fluidisation de la masse morcelée et favorisant la séparation par vitesse équivalente de sédimentation dans l'air.

OBS

Tables pneumatiques. [...] Dans l'industrie minérale, deux grandes familles ont été envisagées : - le type à cheminements opposés des lourds et des légers que l'on peut rapprocher des jigs quand on utilise de l'air pulsé, - le type à étalement dont la conception rappelle celle des tables à secousses travaillant en voie humide.
