Zusammenfassung:An improved coal composition and process for agglomerating coal particles is disclosed. Between three and twelve percent by weight of a hydrophobic binder and between one and five percent by weight of a fiber is mixed with fine coal particles. The coal particles, binder, and fiber are then formed into an agglomerate which resists breakage and moisture sorption. In another embodiment of the invention, coal particles exceeding 590 microns in diameter can be mixed with the coal, binder, and fiber before the agglomerate is formed.
