The sulfur content of United States coal can be assessed using a variety of approaches. The sulfur content may be expressed in terms of total sulfur in the coal, pounds of sulfur per million Btu, or sulfur remaining after reduction by coal preparation. In addition, sulfur content may be applied to the demonstrated reserve base or to coal resource estimates.
Understanding the forms of sulfur in a coal is important because coal preparation can reduce the inorganic (pyritic and sulfate) sulfur in coal, but not the organically bound sulfur in coal. Sulfur is distributed in several different forms and scales in coal. The testing procedures and guidelines for determining the weight percent contributions ...

International Journal of Coal Preparation and Utilization publishes original research papers, short communications, review articles, book reviews, and symposium announcements covering all aspects of coal preparation. The journal is significant reading for all individuals involved with coal preparation, including those in operations, …
In the longer term, coal, with its vast reserves, could again become a preferred fuel. Imported low-sulfur coals could be preferred unless the sulfur content of UK coals is reduced. One method is to remove some of the sulfur as pyrite, FeS2, at the coal preparation stage.
Coal preparation was utilized more and more to reduce pyritic sulfur; however, coal switching—the use of low sulfur, western U.S. coals—also became …

The limited application of high-sulfur coal (HSC) and the increasing severity of copper pollution in solution are two pressing issues. To alleviate such issues, a sulfur self-doped coal-based adsorbent (HSC@ZnCl2) was obtained by pyrolysis (850 °C, 60 min holding time) of HSC and ZnCl2 with a mass ratio of 1:0.5. The results adsorption …
Coal preparation facilities sampled in the present study likely employ standard beneficiation approaches such as froth flotation and density separation, but …
Coal preparation plants have been reported to remove up to 90% by weight of pyritic sulfur, although rejections are typically in the 30–70% range due to liberation …

We have completed an assessment of the environmental behaviors of high-sulfur coal wastes obtained from two coal preparation plants located in northern Appalachia. Leachates obtained from these materials are often very acidic, with pH values sometimes less than 2, and contain high concentrations of a number of chemical elements.
Studies of sulfur isotopes of coal or sedimentary rock may not only providesources of sulfur, but also provide some information about sedimentary environment,coalification and diagenesis. Many samples of coal and organic-rich sediments, suchas black shale, contain a considerable content of sulfur that exists in several forms,such as pyrite, …

Coal preparation, or beneficiation, is a series of operations that remove mineral matter (i.e ., ash) from coal. Preparation relies on different mechanical operations (not discussed …
According to the previous studies using MIC, the addition of NH 4 Cl facilitates the analyte volatilization present in the inorganic coal fraction and prevents the formation of stable oxides (not applied in the context of sulfur) [25].On the other hand, the use of MC for the combustion provides enough energy for the complete sample burning …

A duplicate set of polished pellets was examined using scanning electron microscopy, to identify minerals such as pyrite, which is known to host elements of environmental interest in coal (Fig. 3).This examination was done primarily in the backscattered electron (BSE) mode, using a SU5000 variable pressure field …
Preparation may range from simply crushing to provide a size consist suitable for certain types of boilers to extensive size reduction and cleaning to remove sulfur and ash-forming mineral matter. Coal preparation is the stage in coal production at which the run-of- mine (ROM) coal is made into a clean, graded, and consistent product suitable ...
Coal preparation plants have been reported to remove up to 90% by weight of pyritic sulfur, although rejections are typically in the 30–70% range due to liberation constraints [28,29,30]. When compared to the postcombustion control of sulfur, coal preparation offers several distinct advantages including improved market flexibility, …
The detailed preparation procedure for these OCs was well described in our previous research . Finally, after sintering at 950 °C for 2 h, the as-prepared OCs were ground and sieved with 63–106 μm particles collected for use. Apart from OC, a Chinese high-sulfur coal as Liuzhi bituminous coal was adopted and designed as LZ below.
Coal is a non-clastic sedimentary rock.They are the fossilized remains of plants and are in flammable black and brownish-black tones. Its main element is carbon, but it can also contain different elements such as hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen. Unlike coal minerals, it does not have a fixed chemical composition and crystal structure.Depending …
factors of trace elements during coal preparation [10–13]. However, there are relatively few studies on the distribution and evaluation of the economic potential of critical metals in coal preparation products [3,14]. Jiashun coal, located in Guizhou Province, is characterized by a high sulfur content and enrichment in the critical metal Li.
Coal preparation is a stage in the coal supply chain that follows mining but precedes shipment to the final end user. For many operations, run-of-mine coal consists of a composite mixture of carboniferous material and various non-coal impurities, such as rock, shale, clay, and water. Coal preparation, also denoted washing, cleaning, …
