Abstract CASRBONIZATION OF BITUMINOUS COAL WHEREIN THE COAL IS ACIDIFIED WITH A LIQUID SULFONATING AGENT SUCH AS SULFURIC ACID OR OLEUM AND THEREAFTER CARBONIZED BY HEATING TO A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF 600*C. TO 900*C., THE HEATING RATE IN THE TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 400*C. TO 600*C. BEING IN EXCESS OF 10*C. PER MINUTE. THE ACIDIFIED COAL IS PREFERABLY DEACIDIFIED PRIOR TO CARBONIZATION BY HEATING AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF 400*F. TO 700*F. WITH OR WITHOUT A SWEEPING AIRSTREAM. ACID TREATMENT OF THE BITUMINOUS COALS PERMITS CARBONIZATION THEREOF AT AN ACCELERATED RATE WITHOUT CAKING DURING HEATING THROUGH THE TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 400*C. TO 600*C.
