The coal fines from slurry waste discarded from the Jamadoba coal preparation plant were used for the recovery of significant energy value coal fines. The effect of oil type was investigated using different oils (edible oil and nonedible oil) at constant pulp density (PD) and agglomeration time (AT) and varying oil dosages. (ODs) The results were evaluated based on % organic matter recovery (% OMR) and % ash rejection (% AR).
