Work done for EPRI by Mobil Research M) and Battelle (2) demonstrated that coal could be liquefied at these relatively short reaction times. This work, however, was limited, and indicated some very apparent process disadvantages ...

Sintema A process for stabilizing the calcium sulfate/sulfite waste produced by FGD so that it may be used for landfill. The waste is mixed with ash from a coal-fired power station, pelletized, and sintered. Developed in the 1970s by Battelle Columbus Laboratories, OH, under contract with Industrial Resources.

Battelle has developed instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) techniques which permit very sensitive and accurate multielement analysis of approximately 40 elements in coal and fly ash. These techniques, which will be described in this work, form the basis for extensive environmental studies of the effluent from coal-powered generating facilities and other pollution sources. 

The precision for a single determination is 5-10% for most of the 40 elements in coal and fly ash. Battelles technique of INAA has been shown to have 5-10% accuracy by the replicate analyses of well characterized standards such as U.S.G.S. Basalt Standard BCR-1 and NBS-Orchard Leaves (SRM 1571) (32).

Recent work for EPA by the Battelle Columbus Laboratories postulate that corrosion can be lessened due to an interesting chemical phenomena. Sulfur (in coal, oil, sewage sludge or contaminated methane gases from landfills) has the effect of forming relatively harmless deposits that prevent chlorine from being so corrosive.
