Research abstract
INNOVATIVE METHODS OF COAL CLEANING WILL BE REQUIRED IF COALS IN THE 0.1 TO 0.3% ASH RANGE ARE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR FLUID FUEL APPLICATIONS. PHYSICAL METHODS ARE PREFERRED BECAUSE OF HIGH COSTS GENERALLY ANTICIPATED TO BUILD AND OPERATE CHEMICAL METHODS TO REMOVE MINERAL MATTER FROM COAL. THIS WORK SEEKS TO SEPARATE FINE LIBERATED MINERAL MATTER THROUGH A COMBINATION OF PHYSICAL METHODS WHICH USE UNIQUE DIFFERENCES IN MINERAL AND COAL CHARACTERISTICS TO EFFECT SEPARATION IN FLUID SYSTEMS.
