Determine the feed rate required for the mined coal


In a mechanical coal-washing process, a portion of the inorganic sulfur and ash material in the mined coal can be removed. A feed stream to the process consists of 73% coal, 11% ash, 11% sulfur, and 5.0% water (to suppress dust). The clean coal side of the process consists of 88% coal, 6.0% sulfur, 3.0% ash, and 3.0% water. The refuse side consists of 32% sulfur, with the remainder being ash, coal, and water. If 80 metric tons per hour of clean coal is required, determine the feed rate required for the mined coal and the composition of the refuse material. Also determine the mass rate for the refuse stream (in metric tons per hour).
