Abstract

A process is disclosed for the beneficiation of coal by selective caking, in which process a caking mixture is employed consisting of: PA0 one or more solvents selected from among light hydrocarbons having boiling points not higher than 70.degree. C.; PA0 a non-ionic, oil-soluble additive obtained from controlled propoxylation of the phenolic fractions derived from cake-oven tars; PA0 and possibly one or more heavy co-caking agents selected from among coal-derived oils having boiling points between 200.degree. and 400.degree. C., or the residual products of petroleum refining or mixtures of the same.
