In the Table 2, the highest yield of sinking part was achieved as % from the 32+25 mm fraction at specific gravity of g/cm 3 medium. The ash content of floating part in the 25+16 mm fraction at g/cm 3 specific density which had the minimum ash content as % was the % of the total sum of coal. This value was the lowest ash content obtained from the all float and sink tests.
