The attractiveness of any advanced coal cleaning process depends on various factors: SO/sub 2/ removal potential, status of development, overall costs, complexity of the technology used, and environmental impacts. In addition, some of these processes may look more favorable than others for certain applications. For example, the wet HGMS and Two-Stage Flotation processes may be economical in conjunction with coal-water slurry transportation and combustion. The AED Process may appear to be favorable if it is applied as a fuel preparation step at the coal-fired power plant site. The oil agglomeration processes may be coupled with coal-oil slurry transportation before combustion in oil-fired boilers. Finally, the Otisca Process may be used at existing coal preparation plants for fine coal cleaning.
