This book presents the state of art of the several advanced approaches to beneficiation of coal. The influence of recent technology attains the advantages of processing coal, purification studies, rheological behavior, and the mineral beneficiation. The experts collected in this volume have contributed significantly to the enrichment in the in depth knowledge not only in context of working knowledge, but also future prospects of clean coal technology.

• Describes mineral beneficiation of coal through physical-chemical processes;
• Examines rheological behavior and pipeline transport of coal water slurry resulting in reduction of overall transportation cost of coal;

• Illustrates synergistic effect of natural and synthetic mixed surfactant system in the stabilization of high concentration coal water slurry.
