Fine coal cleaning has come a long way in South Africa in the past decade, as evidenced by the installation of 5 Mtpa of spiral plant capacity, the re-appraisal of froth notation technology resulting in major modifications to most operating flotation plants, and vigorous research into column flotation and oil agglomeration. This paper reviews the developments which have been made, and the
