| dc.description.abstract | Elements of a process are described, whereby the high sulphur coals of eastern Canada may be converted into a low sulphur product suitable for coal-slurry fuels. The process envisaged includes thermal/magnetic benefication followed by aggregative flotation. On a laboratory scale the optimum conditions for these steps include vacuum pyrolysis at 475°C, and wet magnetic separation at a field strength of 1.6 x 10<sup>-5</sup> A.m<sup>-1</sup>. A favourable tar yield also occurred at about 475°C for chars exposed to vacuum pyrolysis. | en_US |

Le processus envisagé inclu la bénéficiation thermale/magnétique suivi d'une flotation agrégative. A I'échelle du laboratoire les conditions optimales pour ces étapes comprennent la pyrolyse sous vide à 475°C, et la séparation magnétique àune intensité de champ de 1.6 x 10<sup>-5</sup> A.m<sup>-1</sup>. Un rendement favorable en goudron est aussi obtenu à 475°C pour les charbons soumis à la pyrolyse sous vide. | |
