What Is Coal Preparation? - Energy.gov

What Is Coal Preparation? • Coal preparation is the removal of undesirable material from the Run-of-Mine (ROM) coal by employing separation processes which are able to differentiate between the physical and surface properties of the coal and the impurities. Through coal preparation, a uniform product is achieved.
