“…Somasundaran [51] observed the absence of bound water in coal treated with cationic and anionic polymers. The adsorption of the anionic polymer on to the coal may be due to the hydrogen bonding and Van der Waal force, owing to the higher molecular weight of the molecule [52,53].…”

The bound water in fine coal filter cake represents the water that cannot be removed using mechanical dewatering techniques. The amount of bound water in a fine coal filter cake, in other words, represents the moisture content achievable by an ideal dewatering technique. In this study the dilatometer technique was used to measure the bound and free water in a fine coal filter cake. Results showed that addition of cationic (0.25 kg=t) and non-ionic (1 kg=t) surfactants reduced the bound water content in the filter cake from 13.73% to 3.72% and 8.28%, respectively. Decrease in bound water content was attributed to the adsorption of surfactants on the coal surface, which increased the coal hydrophobicity. Addition of 10 g=t of cationic and anionic flocculants also reduced the bound water content from 13.73% to 4.58% and 6.63%, respectively, which was attributed to the replacement of surface water molecules with the polymer. Based on the free and bound water data, ideal dewatering curves were developed for both surfactants and flocculants.
