Continuing analysis of EPRI Coal Combustion Systems R D programs led to an investigation of coal cleaning as an SO{sub 2} air emissions control. Pending acid rain legislation requiring significant statewide SO{sub 2} reductions suggested coal cleaning as an adjunct air pollution control similar to switching fuels to low sulfur coals. This book discusses current publications on modeling cost and quality of cleaned coals which permitted an objective study using a computer program. Data on coals suitable for a cleaning analysis exist and more ambitious coal databases are in development and planning. The study suggests that the market for coal cleaning is not strongly affected by technologies used to achieve SO{sub 2} control and is only midly sensitive to the price of compliance coal.
