A process flow diagram for a typical coal cleaning plant is presented in Figure 11.10-1. In the initial preparation phase of coal cleaning, the raw coal is unloaded, stored, conveyed, crushed, and classified by screening into coarse and fine coal fractions. The size fractions are then conveyed to their respective cleaning processes.
Processing of Coal. Once mined, coal may go to a preparation plant located near the mining site where it is cleaned and processed to remove impurities such as rocks and dirt, ash, sulfur, and other unwanted materials. This process increases the amount of energy that can be obtained from a unit of coal, known as its heating value.

This is a dull black coal with a higher heating value than lignite that is used primarily for generating electricity and for space heating. Most subbituminous reserves are located in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Washington and Alaska. Bituminous: Even greater pressure results in the creation of bituminous, or "soft" coal.
The vibration signal that is generated by the top coal or gangue hitting the hydraulic support is sensed (Chen et al. 2019), and the gangue and coal blocks during the coal release process can be identified through signal processing and analysis to achieve the requirements for automated coal release (Wan et al. 2019; Liu 2011a).
The process is reported to be carried out in two steps a low-temperature treatment of the coal, followed by briquetting and further processing of the briquet. In the other process developed by United States Fuel Company, fine coal is pelletized with an inert binder and water.
There are two main phases in coal formation: peatification and coalification. Bacterial activity is the main process that creates the peat during peatification. Increasing temperature and pressure from burial are the main factors in coalification. [2] To form coal, the following steps are followed (Figure 2 illustrates these steps): [5] [6]
