A Preliminary Comparison of Coal Classification and Processing between Canada and China
This paper compares the systems of coal classification described under American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards used in Canada to standards used in China. A preliminary connection of metallurgical coal classes was set up between the two classifications. The paper also compares caking properties commonly used in each country, as well as a brief discussion of metallurgical coal processing strategy and typical coking coal product qualities.
