Sulfur reduction potential of the coals of the United States

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5753381
The report presents the results of a washability study of 322 coal mine samples showing the sulfur forms and distribution in the coals. The samples were collected from mines which were principally utility coal procedures. Generally, the data show the total sulfur content of the coals evaluated could be significantly reduced by some combination of stage crushing and specific gravity separation. However, few coals could be upgraded to a final product containing one percent of less total sulfur. The complete washability data are presented for each sample processed, plus, a statistical evaluation for some of the beds.
