Growing concern over the environmental effects of acid rain has resulted in increased interest in development of precombustion removal of sulfur from coal. Most coals are not in compliance with the recent requirements which call for reduction of sulfur emissions from various fuel sources. Under proposed guidelines, even low sulfur, western bituminous coals require some cleaning to meet new source standards of 1.2 lb of SO/sub 2/ per million Btu's and 90% reduction in sulfur content of the coal on a concentration basis. Typically, Illinois Basin coals contain more sulfur than coals from other coal bearing regions. In order for typical Illinois coals to meet EPA guidelines, some organic sulfur must be removed, in addition to most of the pyritic sulfur. Almost all Illinois coals contain greater than 1% organic sulfur, with most containing more than 2%. The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Energy Processes at Southern Illinois University is developing a desulfurization process to remove both organic and inorganic sulfur from coal without deleteriously affecting key combustion properties. This process employs alcohols under supercritical conditions. The coal/alcohol mixtures produce a clean solid product with an acceptable sulfur content, a high Btu gaseous product and coal derived liquids.
