This report covers the third quarter of activity on a 30-month project to characterize the mineral-matter liberation and the beneficiation of ultra-fine coal. So far the work has been confined to the base-case coal from Illinois No. 6 seam. Eight other coals will be examined later in the program. The work accomplished this quarter, and described in this report, includes washability tests on the minus 20- and minus 10-micrometer coal, application of automated instrument analyses to determine impurity liberation, and the initial steps of a study to characterize the hydrodynamic behavior of fine coal particles in beneficiation processes. 15 refs., 2 figs., 5 tabs.
