ABSTRACT
        Float and Sink washability tests were conducted on the lignite samples from Çanakkale-Çan basin, western Anatolia. Pilot scale (100 kg/hr) jigging runs were also performed on a four-compartment wedag jig.
        No appreciable amount of sulfur could be removed due to:
        1. High organic sulfur content (60 % of totals) and
        2. Fine size distribution of pyrite (3-100 micron)
        On the other hand, ash removal was successfull and up to 60 % of mineral matter removal was achieved at 83 % coal recovery.
