This volume addresses the challenges and advancements in processing and utilizing high-sulfur coals. It compiles research presented at the third International Conference on Processing and Utilization of High Sulfur Coals, focusing on methods to mitigate sulfur content and enhance coal's energy efficiency. The papers explore various chemical and physical techniques for coal desulfurization and conversion.

This collection of papers from the 1989 conference likely represents a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in high-sulfur coal research at that time. The technical nature of the topics suggests a readership of engineers, researchers, and industry professionals. The focus on specific processing and utilization techniques indicates a practical, problem-solving orientation within the field of energy resources.
