Ultra-fine coal characterization. 4th quarterly report, December 1, 1984-February 28, 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5856653
This report covers the fourth quarter of activity on a 30-month project to characterize the mineral-matter liberation and the benefication of ultra-fine coal. Work so far has been confined to the base-case coal from Illinois No. 6 seam. In the fourth quarter, substantial progress was made in the characterization of the hydrodynamic behavior of ultra-fine coal. It was verified that Illinois No. 6 fine coal fractions of 15 x 10, 25 x 20, and 38 x 32 ..mu..m exhibit settling behavior in water that closely follows Stokes law for laminar flow. 2 refs., 9 figs., 4 tabs.
