Onursal, B

In this first part of the paper the author considers some recent developments in coal preparation technology that are being considered in the light of more stringent regulations affecting SO/SUB/2 emissions from coal-burning equipment. Some chemical cleaning processes are listed and descriptions are given of Advanced Fuels Technology's two-stage flotation process, Otisca's heavy-liquid cyclone process for fine coal and Advanced Energy Dynamics' electrostatic separation process.
