Preparation | EME 444: Global Energy Enterprise
Preparation of coal, also called washing, is how non-combustible materials are removed from the mine. As the coal is washed, waste is created and classified as either course refuse or fine refuse. Larger materials such as rocks and pieces of coal are defined as course refuse. Slurry, a combination of silt, dust, water, bits of coal and clay ...
