Abstract |
The report presents the results of research in which the following points were to be investigated: To study approximately 200 sets of coal washability data from which to evaluate and classify coal suitable for producing a clean coal with different sulfur content; To develop a scheme of ranking for these coals; To develop a design for the most appropriate, conventional type coal cleaning plant to remove sulfur compounds; To develop the installed cost of the plant, and estimated costs for the operation of the plant; To develop test schedules for the evaluation of each coal to be processed in the plant; And finally to estimate costs for the analysis of data to be generated in the prototype plant and develop flowsheets for full scale plants for the coals washed in the prototype plant.
