For coal and gangue, intelligent sorting processes for separation, the use of coal and gangue mineral components with different fundamental differences, and the study of different properties of minerals and coal with different scales and density regarding the gray value change law are presented. The results show that the gray value of single minerals and mixed minerals gradually decreases with the increase of their thickness and density. The greater the density of minerals, the smaller the gray value at the same thickness, and the same rule applies to different coal ranks. Via regression analysis methods, the values of the regression equation parameter a of pure minerals for graphite, quartz, kaolinite, and montmorillonite are 59. 25, 65.69, 61.61, and 58.02 in the high-energy region, respectively. In the low-energy region, they are 174. 95, 177.31, 186.95, and 161.81. For the regression equation parameter of mixed minerals in the form of two mixed minerals (graphite and quartz, kaolinite, or montmorillonite) and three kinds of mineral mixing (graphite−kaolinite and quartz; graphite−montmorillonite and quartz; graphite−kaolinite and montmorillonite),

“…But his legacy lives on, in the methods he developed, in the continuing work of many other scientists world-wide who are now using those methods and in the ongoing work of the journal CPC and the CCPs. A very recent and detailed account of Phil's contribution to AMO physics has been given by Bartschat et al (2020). Ken Taylor, who worked with Phil for nearly 50 years, has written the following appreciation:…”

The development of theoretical and computational atomic and molecular physics in the second half of the twentieth century owes a great deal to Phil Burke. His knowledge and insight, his enthusiasm and encouragement, his vision and determination were essential characteristics for the success of his work and that of many others. He developed and used the R-matrix method in the study of the interaction between, on the one hand, atoms and molecules and their ions and, on the other, light or electrons. He published many original research papers and was author or editor of a number of books. Especially significant and far-reaching was his setting up of the journal Computer Physics Communications to enable an international field of scientists, initially to share computer codes, but subsequently also to discuss and develop methods in computational physics. While based at the Daresbury Laboratory, he established a number of Collaborative Computational Projects, thus providing a forum for scientists working in specific scientific disciplines to meet periodically to discuss current issues and in particular how the ever advancing cutting-edge of high-end computing could begin to address previously intractable problems. A consequence was his clarity of thinking about which new computer architectures were needed to make significant advances in each field of study, expertly guiding the UK's provision of high-end computers to academia for over 20 years. He was a clear and methodical teacher, at both graduate and undergraduate level, and was generous with the time he gave to his students. In short, he demonstrated a balanced level of excellence in all aspects of his career. He was a consummate academic and a fine role model for his colleagues.

Electron-molecule collisions drive many natural phenomena and are playing an increasing role in modern technologies.Over recent years studies of these collision processes have become increasingly driven by quantum mechanicalcalculations rather than experiments. This tutorial surveys important issues, underlying physics and theoretical methods used to study electron molecule collisions. It is aimed at the non-specialist with suitable references for further readingfor those interested and pointers to software for those wanting to perform actual calculations.
