Abstract
A process for preparing a solid load of coal from an aqueous slurry of coal particles by dividing the slurry into a first fraction containing relatively small particles and a second fraction containing relatively large particles, agglomerating the particles in the first fraction under turbulent conditions with a binder and separating the thus-obtained agglomerates from the water phase and mixing the agglomerates with the second fraction.
