According to the FTIR analysis, it showed an obvious decline in the hydrophilic groups while an increase in the hydrophobic groups on the surface of coal after pretreatment by 2-ethylhexanol solution for 12 h, resulting in the increase of contact angle from 74.9° to 95.4°. Whereas the induction time showed a significant decrease from 246.0ms down to 85.4ms, which meant the better hydrophobicity and floatability of coal particles after the pretreatment. As a result, a better flotation efficiency of low rank coal was attained after the pretreatment. Additionally, the oily bubble flotation combining 2-ethylhexanol was employed to enhance the flotation of coal samples. The results indicated that the mixture of diesel oil and 2-ethylhexanol improved the collecting power and selectivity of oily bubbles, with the oil contact angle for coal samples decreasing from 17.8° to 14.5° and the induction time from 50ms down to 19.7ms. The performance of oily bubble flotation, especially using the mixed diesel oil bubbles, was much better than that of conventional flotation, and the recovery of combustible matter and flotation efficiency index increased from 43.42% and 29.52% up to 89.27% and 59.91% respectively. Consequently, the flotation performance of low rank coal may be enhanced by the surface modification of 2-ethylhexanol as well as the novel oily bubble flotation technology.</ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract><ce:abstract xmlns:ce="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/common/dtd" xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ja/dtd" id="ab0010" class="author-highlights" xml:lang="en" view="all"><ce:section-title id="st0010">Highlights</ce:section-title><ce:abstract-sec id="as0010" view="all"><ce:simple-para id="sp0085" view="all"><ce:list id="l0005"><ce:list-item id="li0005"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0005" view="all">The hydrophobicity of coal increased after pretreatment by 2-ethylhexanol solution for 12h, with the contact angle increasing from 74.9° to 95.4° while induction time decreasing from 246.0ms to 85.4ms.</ce:para></ce:list-item><ce:list-item id="li0010"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0010" view="all">2-ethylhexanol used as a surfactant/emulsifier was found to greatly enhance the properties of oily bubbles, making its collecting power increased.</ce:para></ce:list-item><ce:list-item id="li0015"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0015" view="all">The flotation performance of low rank coal could be enhanced by the surface modification of 2-ethylhexanol as well as oily bubble flotation.</ce:para></ce:list-item></ce:list></ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract>]]>
