Lignite in Yugoslavia is used to produce electricity, city gas for use by steel works and other industrial plants, and dried coal. The Fleissner process is used to obtain dry lump lignite, but it does have thermal and technological shortcomings. The Lurgi process using a mixture of oxygen and steam is used to produce grid gas and ammonia. It is a costly process which research is attempting to improve. Research is also being carried out on semi-coke and briquette production, fluidized bed combustion, and more efficient gasification processes for lignite.
