Revolutionary Coal Separation Method Unlocks Energy-Rich Inertinite for Liquefaction
Macerals in coal, like vitrinite and inertinite, can be separated effectively based on their surface properties and electrical characteristics. Inertinite has more pores and a higher dielectric constant, while vitrinite has a higher resistivity. During separation, vitrinite tends to be found in larger coal particles, while inertinite concentrates in smaller ones due to their different electrical charges. This information can help improve the process of separating different types of coal for various uses.
