TITLE AN IN-LINE METHOD FOR THE BENEFICIATION OF COAL AND THE FORMATION OF A COAL-IN-OIL COMBUSTIBLE FUEL THEREFROM INVENTORS C. EDWARD CAPES WILLIAM L. THAYER RICHARD D. COLEMAN An in-line method for the beneficiation of coal and the formation of a coal-in-oil combustible fuel wherein the coal is wet pulverized, micro-agglomerated with light oil to dissociate a large amount of inorganic impurities and some water agglomerated with heavy oil to form relatively larger agglomerates and dissociate mainly water with some inorganic impurities, and then mixed with further heavy oil to form the coal in oil combustible fuel.
