摘要

Steam coal washing is required in China from the view of energy status and environmental demands. It is also an effective way to improvement of coal quality and reduction of environmental pollution. In the mean time, dry cleaning methods would be particularly applicable to certain areas of China. Moreover, combustion of washed coal in power station and industrial boilers is of practical benefit. Therefore, the Market for steam coal washing including dry cleaning in China is huge based on both domestic and foreign situations. Finally, some suggestions are put forward in order to robustly develop steam coal washing in China.
