Coal Research I n Canada, 1966

CIM Bulletin, 1967

Far from being eclipsed by petroleum and natural gas, Canadian coal continues to command wide (and apparently growing) interest. Major R & D investigations are currently heavily oriented toward coal beneficiation (e.g., cleaning and utilization of fines) and toward a broad range of studies on metallurgical coals and cokes. However, active work is also being carried out in the areas of coal geology, mining, transportation and combustion; and, in some laboratories, increasing stress has been laid on developing a number of new, essentially non-fuel uses for coal and coal products. This review summarizes the work of Canadian coal research agencies during 1966 and indicates some of the more important advances made by them.
