The influence of microwave pretreatment on the grindability of high-ash Indian coal was investigated. Scanning electron microscope analysis characterized the micro fractures in microwave treated coal samples, which may be due to the thermal stress cracking resulting from the microwave pretreatment. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the microwave treated coal had a higher peak compared to the untreated coal indicates that the crystallinity increased with the microwave exposure time. The calculation of the Hardgrove grindability index indicated an increase in the ease of grinding or an increase in the grindability index of the microwave treated coal. Bond grindability tests showed that the work index decreased 15.4% after a microwave exposure time of 120 s. Grindability tests showed that the microwave treated coal ground much more rapidly initially than the untreated coal, with the specific rate of breakage (S1) increasing by an average of 15%. The results showed that the rates of breakage of both microwave untreated and treated coal samples were dependent on particle size.
