ABSTRACT
A recent study by the Hoffman-Munter Corporation for the U.S.
Bureau of Mines and the Environmental Protection Agency [2] (as

physical coal cleaning processes to beneficiate coals. Chemical,
microbiological, and other novel coal beneficiation processes are of
The chemical and other novel beneficiation processes, though generally
capable of producing a higher yield of a cleaner coal product from
the ROM coal, have not been used on a commercial scale primarily
2. The product coal from coal beneficiation is more uniform in size, composition, and heating value, thereby resulting in, for example, more uniform and steady combustion than would otherwise be possible.
