Abstract An extensive experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of grinding conditions on the performance of a selective agglomeration process using n-pentane as agglomerant. Upper Freeport, Pittsburgh # 8, and Illinois # 6 coal samples were dry and wet ground to 28 mesh × 0 and 200 mesh × 0 particle sizes using a pulverizer, a ceramic jar mill, and a specially designed stirred-ball mill. The ground ;, samples were subjected to a standardized agglomeration test procedure using a Waring blender as the agglomeration unit. The effects of various operating variables, such as n-pentane to coal ratio, slurry concentration, mixing speed, and agglomeration time on energy recovery and ash rejection were statistically evaluated. The agglomeration test data showed dramatic differences between wet and dry grinding methods and between 28 mesh × 0 and 200 mesh × 0 particle sizes. Grinding to 200 mesh × 0 resulted in higher energy recoveries. Moreover, 200 mesh × 0 particle size obtained with wet grindi...
