Evaluation of the effect of coal cleaning on fugitive elements. Phase IV. Identification of mineral forms in coal. Quarterly progress report No. 6, September 1, 1984-November 30, 1984. [Otisca T and LICADO processes]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6038367
Coal samples were received during this report period from the Otisca T and LICADO processes. Otisca A (high-ash) feed and product coals were analyzed for mineral forms by x-ray diffraction; a significant reduction of ..cap alpha..-quartz in the product coal was observed. Preliminary trace element data on the Otisca B (low-ash) samples show higher-than-average amounts of cobalt and lower-than-average amounts of copper, lead, nickel, and zinc in both the feed and product coals, compared with data for other eastern US bituminous coals. In particular, the lead concentrations in the Otisca B samples are much lower than average. 1 figure, 4 tables.
