In this work, samples from tailing ponds of TKI Alpagut-Dodurga Lignites Company Coal Washery were subjected to extensive research to recover clean fine coal particles, by means of gravity methods. The optimum conditions of separation were determined under the laboratory conditions by using shaking tables and Multi-Gravity Separator. Several parameters, though to be effective on the separation were tested. After the shaking table experiments clean coal products, containing 13.52percent ash with 50.16 percent combustible recvoery and 16.78 percent ash with 53.12 percent combustible recovery were obtained at -3.0+0.6 and -0.6+0.3 mm fractions, respectively. After the investigations carried out by Multi-Gravity Separator, clean coal fractions, containing 20.53percent ash with 83.94 percent combustibel recovery and 25.58 percent ash with 88.39 percent combustible recovery were obtained at -0.3+0.15 and -0.15+0.05 mm fractions, respectively. Cleaning stage experiments were conducted on the -0.15+0.05 mm fraction and ash percentage of the clean coal was reduced down to 17.39percent with 63.08percent combustible recovery according to head sample.
