Laboratory evaluations have been conducted on four solid waste samples from coal conversion processes. These samples include two liquefaction wastes and two gasification wastes. All samples were sieved using number 20, 40, 60, 100, and 200 mesh U.S. Standard Sieves. Sieving was conducted by placing the samples on a ro-tap for about 30 minutes each sieving session. Many sieving sessions were found necessary to obtain sufficient quantities of the smaller sized fractions. In all cases, the smaller particle sizes released more material into the leaching media than did the larger particles.
