Coal preparation
Coal preparation covers the physical and mechanical processes which can be applied to coals to make them suitable for the market. Mostly, this is applied to run-of-mine coals to obtain lower ash and more consistent coals suitable for steam raising or coke making. The yield of such a treatment process is the ratio of the mass of product to the mass of starting material. The organic efficiency of the process.is the ratio of the mass of the organic material in the product to the mass of the organic material in the starting material. The organic material is usually defined as the total material, less moisture and mineral matter.
