An optimization study of yield for a coal washing plant ...
Calculated yield % and ash % values with experimental yield % and ash % values from float–sink data of the used coal were also compared and they were in good agreement (R 2 > 0.99). By equalization of the incremental ash in order to get composite ash of 9.5%, the composite yield was maximized to 30.71% while the plant's yield was about 24.00%.
