Three coals, Indiana No. 5, Illinois No. 6, and Freeport-PA, were treated using the Midwest Ore Processing Company patented coal desulfurization process in batch equipment designed to process 10 lb of coal. The organic sulfur extractions were performed at a 30 minute residence time at 120{degrees}C and atmospheric pressure. Subsequently, ash and pyrite were separated from extracted coal using gravity separation in perchloroethylene.
