    Effect of Crushing on Near-Gravity Material Distribution in Different Size Fractions of an Indian Non-Coking Coal

    By S. Mohanta, I. D. Behera, B. Sahoo

    "Run-of-mine coal contains particles of different sizes with different specific gravities, and when this coal is crushed, the amount of material present in a particular density class changes. This alt
