ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides processes for the continuous removal of contaminants from coal to produce a clean purified fuel. The processes generally comprise producing a clean coal product having a mineral matter content of less than about 5 percent by weight from coal and coal derivatives by leaching feed coal crushed or sized to less than about 1 inch with a mixture of hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids comprising less than about 70 weight percent HF and less than about 38 weight percent HCl at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature below the boiling point of the acid mixture. One embodiment of the present invention provides a process for producing a coal product with 5 percent ash content or less comprising comminuting raw coal or other coal-derived feed material to a size less than about 10 mm; leaching the comminuted coal with a mixture of HF and HCl comprising less than about 70 percent by weight HF and less than 38 percent by weight HCl at atmospheric pressure and a temperature below boiling, preferably ambient; separating the leached residue from the spent acid; washing the leached residue substantially free of spent acids and dissolved solids; separating pyrite from the coal by physical means; reducing halogens on the coal to an acceptable level by thermal treatment; and regenerating the mixture of HF and HCl by dual pyrohydrolysis and sulfation of the spent acids to recover substantially all of the fluorine value except for that reporting to waste as MgF.sub.2, either as HF or as volatile fluorides which are recycled. Another embodiment of the invention provides processes for producing HF, HCl, and mixtures thereof from complex aqueous streams containing at least two metal halide salts one of which will pyrohydrolyze in the presence of water vapor to form hydrogen halide and the metal oxide and one of which will not, but will in the presence of water vapor, SO.sub.2 and oxygen form hydrogen halide and metal sulfate.
