The work during the period 1 March-31 May 1982 has been mainly directed to exploring the effect of oxygen concentration on the instantaneous rates of generation of carbon fines by attrition during the fluidized combustion of batches of 4760-6350 ..mu..m South African coal. Time-resolved bed carbon particle size distributions are determined under the same conditions as attrition experiments have been carried out. Instantaneous attrition rates have been correlated to bed carbon loading and exposed surface for various oxidizing conditions.
