Abstract

Coal is rendered less subject to abrasion and disintegration by reducing it to a 0.2 to 0.5-inch particle size and drying it at a temperature of 200.degree. to 230.degree. F. for 3-7 minutes. The coal is rendered less susceptible to spontaneous ignition by the application of a treating agent which is a petroleum resid mixed with clarified slurry oil or a petroleum resid mixed with a distillate.
