Zusammenfassung:A process for the removal of pyrite from coal which comprises preparing an aqueous slurry containing finely-divided coal particles; adding to the slurry an hydroxide or carbonate of an alkali or alkaline earth metal selected from the group consisting of sodium, lithium, potassium and magnesium, as well as mixtures of these hydroxides and carbonates, in amounts sufficient to continuously maintain the pH of the slurry between about 8 and 12; and then agitating the slurry while treating the slurry with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas.
