The resultant coal extract solution is then hydrocracked to premium liquid products and a fraction suitable for recycling as process solvent. For the process to be economically attractive, it is important to achieve a high rate of filtration.
Coal Mining Coal can be extracted from the earth either by surface mining or underground mining. Once coal has been extracted, it can be used directly (for heating and industrial processes) or to fuel power plants for electricity. Surface Mining If coal is less than 61 meters (200 feet) underground, it can be extracted through surface mining.

Coal mining Coal preparation: As explained above, during the formation of coal and subsequent geologic activities, a coal seam may acquire mineral matter, veins of clay, bands of rock, and igneous intrusions. In addition, during the process of mining, a portion of the roof and floor material may be taken along with the coal seam in order to create adequate working height for the equipment ...
Processing coal occurs onsite at specialised preparation plants. It reduces impurities improving the emissions profile and increases the efficiency of coal transport. Following its extraction from the seam, the coal is transported to the plants to be processed. Generally, this transport occurs using either trucks or large conveyor belts.
