ABSTRACT:
Coal is rendered less subject to abrasion and disintegration by reducing it to a 0.2 to 0.5-inch particle size and drying it at a temperature of 200.degree. to 230.degree. F. for 3-7 minutes. The coal can be rendered less susceptible to spontaneous ignition by the application of a treating agent which can be a light cycle oil, heavy cycle oil, clarified slurry oil, a petroleum or coal derived distillate or residuum, a solution of durene in gasoline and mixtures of two or more of the preceding.
