Abstract
A process for improving the yield of soluble coal products separated from a residuum feed in a coal deashing process. In operation, an additive comprising (i) at least a portion of a distillate fraction preferably recovered from the coal liquefaction products from which the residuum feed is derived, (ii) a portion of recycled heavy soluble coal products, (iii) a portion of recycled light soluble coal products, or (iv) admixtures thereof is introduced in predetermined quantities into the residuum feed prior to entry into a separation zone maintained at elevated temperature and pressure to effect an improved separation of the soluble coal products from the insoluble coal products within the residuum feed.
