ABSTRACT: Coal is the main source of energy vitally important asset that drives the economic
development of the country. Mongolias geological probable reserves of coal are estimated at 173.3
billion tons which about 70% is lignite. There are over 300 deposits and occurrences in 15 different
basins at which over 21.5 billion tons of coal reserves are estimated through detailed exploration work.
Presently about 20 coal companies export unprocessed and processed coals.
Surface water expected in Mongolian coal and other minerals and less environmentally
friendly, low-cost and dry washing issues are standing a problem. Regarding the Naryn Sukhait coal
washing project multilayer coal of seam taken and send to Allmineral German company Allair dry
technology in order to possibility of washing pilot plant tests.
Due to lack of surface water in Mongolia and to be environmentally friendly and economically
towards the others minerals, the dry processing technology is at of great interest.
In order to determine suitability of allair dry technology from Allmineral Germany, these
pilot plant testing is performed for the multi-layer, high ash contented coal within Naryn Sukhait
Washing Plant Project.
Key Words: Mongolian coking coal, dry process, allair, sampling, pilot test, clean coal, ash, pilot
plant.
II. SAMPLING
As requested by the Allmineral for the pilot plant testing, total of 300.5 kg representing bulk samples
were sent and they were extracted from 3 points in mine-1 area.
The Samples were packaged in closed plastic package with tags and were sent to Germany on
6th April 2013.
Sample area, methods:
1. Mine-1 mid area between (1-7) (1-8) at 18 C block:
Representing samples from bottom, middle, upper and the outer areas were taken from the dump
formed by excavator
2. Floor, Ceiling, dump polluted with explosives (1-10) (1-11) line:
Shovel were utilized to get samples from floor, ceiling areas and samples containing explosive
stones.
3. Mine-1s South west wall between (1-13)(1-14) line:
Up to 5 m thick coal from multi-layer area exposed to atmosphere from Mine-1, South west were
taken with shovel (Figure 3)
In order to determine properties of the original samples, 2 samples from each points were collected
for analyzing and their results are shown on table 1:

SUMMARY
1. It is determined that clean coal containing 9.89% ash with 63.97% yield is possible to achieve by allair
dry technology from Naryn Sukhait multi-layer raw coal with 25.39% ash, 5-40mm particle size (60%).
2. Moreover, the same results can (clean coal ash 13.98%, yield 77.81%) be achieved from Naryn Sukhait
multi-layer raw coal with 18.9%, particle size of 0-5mm.
3. Investment required for dry technology in comparison to wet technology is 3-4 times less, operation cost
5-7 times less.
