The coal goes into solution and half of the sulfur in the coal combines with the hydrogen to form a gas which is removed. The impurities suspended in the liquid are removed; these include particles of clay and shale, which form ash, and inorganic sulfur bound to iron in the magnetically susceptible minerals pyrite and pyrrhotite.

Strip mining: This method allows for the extraction of 60% of the worlds coal in the present time. A thin upper layer of rock (usually just a few 10's of meters) is removed to expose coal reservoirs 50-100 meters thick. These reservoirs of coal are referred to as coal seams.

Preparation of the Fuel The coal that goes to a typical coal-fired power plant has minimal processing. It is crushed to approximately 5 cm in size before it is loaded into the inlet hopper. Coal contains many impurities. Coal in the midwest typically contains a lot of sulfur. The pyritic sulfur, from the mineral FeS, is relatively easy to remove.

Impurities Trapped Inside Coal Traces of impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen are trapped inside coal. These impurities are released into the atmosphere when the coal is burned. Combined with water vapor, these impurities form droplets that fall back to Earth as a weak form of sulfuric and nitric acids, commonly known as acid rain.

Raw coal often contains impurities such as slate, sulphur, ash (or ""), clay, or soil, which requires that it be cleaned before shipment to market. [2] [8] Mine workers sampled the coal as it came out of the mine to determine whether the level of impurity recommended washing (if washing was available).

The process is based on the preferential wetting of the hydrophobic coal surface by the non-aqueous medium and the preferential wetting of the mineral impurities by water. The non-aqueous phase displaces water from the coal surface through adsorption onto its carbonaceous components, a process known as phase inversion [8, 9].
