The Eocene coal of Bapung Coalfield contains high amount of sulphur with dominant organic fraction. The distribution of sulphur in the coal, coke and ash are assessed for planning the proper use of coal. At high temperature (925°C) a considerable amount of organic sulphur is volatilized leaving the coke suitable for industrial uses. The Bapung conl can be used in blends with Gondwana coal of Bengal-Bihar region for producing metallurgical coke for steel plants.
