1. A method for removing coal fines from a fluid, comprising: adding a dispersant to the fluid, wherein the dispersant is selected from the group consisting of sodium polytriphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium silicate, sodium polystyrene sulfonate, polystyrene maleic anhydride sulfonate, dodecyl amine and sodium hydrogen phosphate;after addition of the dispersant, adding an activator polymer to the coal fines in the fluid to form activated coal fines, wherein the activator polymer is an anionic or cationic polymer that interacts with the population of coal fines;complexing an anchor particle with a tethering polymer capable of complexing with the activated coal fines, wherein the anchor particle is a combustible particle and wherein the tethering polymer is anionic or cationic polymer, thereby forming tether-bearing anchor particles;mixing the tether-bearing anchor particles with the activated coal fines to form a composite material comprising coal fines and the anchor particles, wherein said composite is combustible; andremoving the composite material from the fluid;wherein when the activator polymer is a cationic polymer, the tethering polymer is an anionic polymer and when the activator polymer is an anionic polymer, the tethering polymer is a cationic polymer. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the anchor particle comprises coal. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the anchor particle comprises filter cake coal. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the anchor particle is derived from coal processing. 5. A method for removing coal fines from a fluid, comprising: adding a pretreatment agent to the coal fines, wherein the pretreatment agent is selected from the group consisting of a hydrocarbon polymer, oils, rubbers, and a fatty acid or other hydrophobic acid;after addition of the pretreatment agent, adding an activator polymer to the coal fines in the fluid to form activated coal fines, wherein the activator polymer is an anionic or cationic polymer that interacts with the population of coal fines;complexing an anchor particle with a tethering polymer capable of complexing with the activated coal fines, wherein the anchor particle is a combustible particle and wherein the tethering polymer is anionic or cationic polymer, thereby forming tether-bearing anchor particles;mixing the tether-bearing anchor particles with the activated coal fines to form a composite material comprising coal fines and the anchor particles, wherein said composite is combustible; andremoving the composite material from the fluid;wherein when the activator polymer is a cationic polymer, the tethering polymer is an anionic polymer and when the activator polymer is an anionic polymer, the tethering polymer is a cationic polymer. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the pretreatment agent is selected from the group consisting of a styrene-butadiene rubber, naphthenic acid, and a fatty acid. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the anchor particle is derived from coal processing. 8. The method of claim 5, wherein the anchor particle comprises coal.
