Technology GRAVIMELT and possibilities of their application in preparation of Slovak brown coal

Abstract

The results of alkaline treatment tests on Slovak brown coal (from Nováky, Handlová and Cíge¾ localities) using the MCL procedure (Gravimelt) are presented in this paper. On the basis of conclusions of an optimal variant of the technology, the samples were pre-treated and submitted to a subsequent test at the NAOH/coal ratio = 1.0. The recovery of chemically treated coal, effectiveness of desulphurization and ash removal were assessed. This treatment procedure is less suitable for Slovak brown coal
