Do you know how to choose defoamers for Coal washing industry?

The transformation and upgrading of the coal industry is the only way ... To promote industrial restructuring and transformation and upgrading, the core is coal washing. The main role of the coal washing process is to reduce coal transportation costs and increase coal utilization. However, there is usually a problem with coal washing, that is, the foam problem. These foams are mainly caused by impurities, surfactants, agitation, etc. mixed in raw coal mining.

What is coal washing

Through the impact of water flow, the raw coal with different composition and different specific gravity is separated into different grades, and the dust and waste stone are removed to reduce the ash and sulfur content, which is called coal washing.
Coal washing is an indispensable link in coal processing. The coal after coal washing is called clean coal. In addition to the purpose of environmental protection, coal washing can also increase the utilization rate of coal.

The hazards of foam in coal washing

a. Foam will affect the subsequent process, resulting in work progress not keeping up; defoamers for coal
b. Foam will lead to unqualified product quality and reduce customers' trust;
c. The foam has caused an increase in production costs and increased the budget.

Causes of foaming in coal washing

a. Because the surface active ingredients of coal are too high, it is easy to cause foaming after stirring;
b. Due to the mixing or shaking during production, air will enter, resulting in the generation of foam;
c. Because coal contains foaming substances, these substances react with certain substances, causing foaming;
d. The chemical reaction caused by other additives added to coal causes foaming. defoamers for coal

Foam in coal washing is very harmful. If it is not removed in time, it will have an impact on mining progress, coal accuracy, production efficiency, production cost, etc., so defoamers must be added.

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ?

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ? Quality of an antifoam is given by two main characteristics : • Knockdown ability or shock effect :Meaning the speed to destroy an existing foam. • Persistence or durability : Meaning the efficiency over time. These two parameters can be assessed by several tests. The main test is the bubbling method. A graduated column with a glass frit in the bottom is required. Foaming water is poured in the column and air at constant flowrate is introduced through the glass frit in the column. Foam is generated by the air and starts to travel up the column. At a determined level of foam, antifoam is injected. By this method several antifoaming agents can be tested. A graph reporting foam height vs time is very helpful to establish the knockdown ability and the persistence for each product. The selected antifoam is the product with the best compromise between shock effect and durability Environmental performance Silicone antifo...

Defoamer Test Method

Defoamer testing methods are divided into dynamic defoaming and static defoaming tests. If your foaming environment is different, the recommended test methods are different. There are three main types of foam experiments to characterize the activity of defoamers. Persistence. As we have different experimental conditions in different laboratories and the experiments used in our research to obtain results from existing literature, we will introduce these experiments below. Other methods are sometimes used depending on the particular application. 1． Ross-Miles Foam Tester Features: Tested for strong foaming environments. This experiment is widely used for characterization (1) Foaming of surfactant solution (2) Research and application of foam stability in the presence of defoamer In the foaming system, the defoaming performance test was carried out by circulating bubbling by a Ros...

Silicone oil is so widely used! Let’s learn silicone oil production technology

Silicone is so widely used! Let's learn silicone oil production technology Silicone oil is a kind of linear small molecule silicone polymer with Si-O-Si as the main chain and organic groups in the side chain. It is widely used in textile, daily chemical, mechanical processing, chemical, electrical and electronic, medical and health, etc. industry. Silicon oil is usually kept in a liquid state at room temperature. As the molecular weight increases, the viscosity also increases, so viscosity is an important physical property index of silicone oil. 2017 China's silicone oil consumption situation Classification of silicone oil Silicone oil is generally divided into two categories: general silicone oil and modified silicone oil. There is also a class of co-modified silicone oils and derivatives - ternary modified silicone oil Silicone oil properties Silicone oil is generally a colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-volatile liquid with the following characteristics...
