The sample that is the object of this research work is a kind of bituminous coal, from the Mount Huáscar, province of Oyón, department of Lima. Provided by the Coal Mine Company. The mineralogical characterization of the sample coal, to show the presence of the following minerals: Graphite (grf) and Pyrite (py). The percentage distribution indicates graphite and 96,91% 3,09% pyrite, the particles are mostly free, accordingly modal analysis indicates that the degree of liberation of graphite and pyrite is 100%, that is counted all particles are free, as can be seen in the photos N.º 1, 2 ,3 and 4. Based on the characterization done it can be concluded that sulfur is in the pyrite, which is the polluter coal. Metallurgical tests were conducted preliminary gravity and flotation; being the outcome of the gravity is not satisfactory. The three tests metallurgical more representative of flo...
