Abstract
Generation of fines and ultra-fine is concept that mining and metallurgical sector can never shy away from since exploration coal commodity began. These coal fines and ultra-fines are what coal mines regard(ed) as waste material without economic value until present moment. Poor technologies in the past lead to stockpiling of large quantity of fines and ultra-fines and again increase in mechanization in mining has led to the generation what is considered as waste in large quantities making it thus difficult to treat the coal. This paper reviews recent developments in minerals processing beneficiation technologies of coal fines and coal ultra-fines.
