reduction of water use in coal processing

Froth stability of coal flotation in saline water: Mineral

Mixing coarse coal particles with fine coal, diluting process water, and reducing collector or frother dosage all significantly decreased the froth stability. However, only the reduction of reagent usage was recommended as a sound strategy since it did not negatively impact the coal flotation performance while eliminating the over stable froth problems.

The Impact of Fossil Fuels on the Environment

A resultant effect might be a reduction of water resources in areas where freshwater supplies are needed for drinking and irrigation. This is because water used for fracturing is too contaminated to return to its source, and as such, it is typically disposed of deep underground, where it is removed from the freshwater cycle.

Saving water is easier by replacing coal with gas or

If all coal fired power plants are converted to natural gas, the annual water savings will reach 12,250 billion gallons, that is, 260 per cent of current annual US industrial water use. Although the magnitude of water used for coal mining and fracking is similar, cooling systems in natural gas power plants use much less water in general than those in coal plants.
