Moudgil, B M

The coal and coal refuse samples were received from Pittsburgh-Bruceton mine for the studies in ultrapurification of coal by selective flocculation. The comminution and sampling of coal is completed and that of coal refuse is in progress. The ash analysis of coal samples indicated a mineral matter content of 4.2%, whereas the EDAX analysis of the coal samples shows Al, Ca, Fe, P, S, and Si as the elemental constituents of the mineral matter. The quantitative analysis of the mineral fraction of the coal is being carried out. Preliminary flocculation experiments using PEO and polyacrylamide type flocculants are in progress. 2 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
