Abstract

Agglomeration of coals in a pipeline, using bridging liquids comprised mainly of bitumen, heavy oils and some inexpensive additives, has been investigated. Very encouraging results were obtained for low rank thermal coals. The potential of the pipeline agglomeration method for simultaneous beneficiation and hydraulic transportation of coal agglomerates is discussed in the context of immense Alberta reserves of subbituminous coals and low quality oils
