Large reserves of coal in Tabas region of Iran are characterized by low ash and high caking index, suitable for use in metallurgy as coking coal. However, these coals cannot be gainfully utilized because of their high sulfur content. In this work, studies on desuljurization of Tabas coals were carried out in a batch reactor using various reagents. The most effective reagents, Fe2(S04)3 , FeCI3, NaOH, CH30H, HN03, and H202, were used to remove suljur and ash from Tabas coals under reasonable pressure and temperature. Results obtainedfrom coal desuljurization experiments using these reagents are presented in this paper. It was found that ferric sulphate is one of the suitable chemical reagent for desulfurization of Tabas coal which could be used to remove most ofthefine distributedpyritic suljur content.
