Abstract
Pyritic and organic sulfur is removed from pulverized coal by contacting the coal with an alkali metal or alkaline earth compound and thereafter using low amounts of electromagnetic energy to preferentially heat sulfur rich regions of the coal-alkali compound mixture. The alkali compound reacts with the sulfur within the coal to form water soluble, or separated compounds of sulfur which can easily be removed by washing the treated coal with water and/or to form compounds which do not convert into sulfur oxides during combustion of the coal.
