Progress in developments of dry coal beneficiation

Luo et al. studied the effect of a secondary gas-distribution layer on the fluidization characteristics of an ADMFB for dry coal beneficiation and the experimental results show that the secondary layer with an optimal depth of 30 mm can significantly reduce the variance in both the bed pressure drop and the bed density, leading to an …
