The work has been directed to test fragmentation and attrition characteristics of a german anthracite, using the same apparatus and techniques previously described in DOE Reports No. DOE/PC40796-1 and -2. Fragmentation during devolatilization of narrow cut batches and single particles of coal has been investigated. Char particles also have been submitted to fragmentation during combustion experiments. Attrition constants of the anthracite char in batch fluidized bed combustion have been evaluated. Results have been compared to those previously found when using a South African or other bituminous coals (DOE Reports No. DOE/PC40796-3, -7 and -9).
