Flash flotation is performed under conditions of high concentration (above 60%) and coarse particles (the mass content of particles smaller than 0.074 mm generally accounts for 10–20% of the total), which is used to process the sand deposits generated from the classifying equipment in the grinding and classification circuit.

The flotation cells used to upgrade ultrafine metallurgical coal (-250 µm) are usually poorly controlled leading to unnecessary loss of combustibles from the flotation system.
The most striking result of the two bormte series was the enhancement of the flotabihty of the coarse particles whmh were present m the feed to cleaner flotation. This was of such magnitude that differences in behaviour of coarse and intermediate sizes apparent in rougher flotation were greatly reduced in cleaner flotation {Figs. 4 and 5).

The ultrasonic pretreatment flotation also produces a higher recovery and better clean coal quality than the conventional flotation, however it cannot overcome the ultrasonic flotation (the ultrasonic treatment simultaneously occurs with the flotation process), whose concentrate yield is 38.95% with the ash content of 21.11%.
The flash flotation circuit on this plant consists of a flash cell and two flash cleaner cells. The flash flotation cell receives its feed directly from the cyclone underflow via a distribution box. The tailings from the flash flotation cell are sent directly to the ball mill feed, and the flash cell concentrate goes to the flash cleaner cells.
