Methods of Improving Oil Agglomeration

A simple thermodynamic analysis suggests that oil can spontaneously displace water from coal's surface if the coal particle has a water contact angle greater than 90°. However, the clean coal products obtained from laboratory-scale dewatering-by-displacement (DbD) test work assayed moistures su...
