<p>Flotation of fly ash to recover coal contained therein is carried out in at least two steps, pH of the flotation slurry in the first step being 6-8, and in the last step lower than in the first step and below 6.5, preferably in the range of 3-5. The temperature may be ambient but is preferably 30 DEG -60 DEG C. As collector and frother several of those commonly employed are usable, preferably gas oil and pine oil, respectively. Desired pH is preferably achieved by sulphuric acid if desired in part by acidic flue gases. There is obtained separation into an almost carbon-free ash fraction and a carbonaceous fraction of low ash content.</p> |
