Abstract :The aim of this study was to investigate the use of various vegetable oils (almond oil, hazelnut oil, poppy oil, soybean (soya) oil, sunflower oil) for Sivas/Gemerek (in Turkey) lignite coal by oil agglomeration. The study examined the effect of bridging liquid type and dosage on oil agglomeration. Vegetable oil dosages of 2%, 5%, 10% and 20% were investigated in oil agglomeration experiments. The agglomeration of lignite coal with these bridging liquids was evaluated based on yield, combustible recovery and ash rejection. The agglomeration performances of these vegetable oils were compared. The highest ash rejection (70.30%) was observed by using soybean (soya) at 20% of the bridging liquid dosage. The yield and combustible recovery of lignite coal were achieved 36.46% yield and 38.05% combustible recovery in this soybean (soya) oil dosage, respectively. The lignite coal ash content was reduced from 19.08% to 15.54% under these optimum conditions.Keywords : Ash rejection, Combustible recovery, Lignite coal, Oil agglomeration, Vegetable oil, Yield
