Description: Laboratory washability testing on coal is used to determine the anticipated yield of coal versus density and coal quality data. The organic liquids which are commonly used are simple to use, but there are several concerns associated with their use: occupational health and safety risks, availability and cost, accuracy, and effect on coal properties. Aqueous Caesium Formate was tested as a feasible alternate dense liquid. Six coals with ranks ranging from Ro Max 0.55 to 1.63% were tested in organic liquids and caesium formate. The results from this test-work show that caesium formate is a possible alternative to organic liquids for laboratory coal washability testing.
