The project start date delayed by approximately 7 weeks due to contractual difficulties. Although the original start date was December 14, 2000, the Principal Investigator did not receive the Project Authorization Notice (PAN) from the Virginia Tech Office of Sponsored Programs until February 5, 2001. Therefore, the first project task (i. e., Project Planning) did not begin until February 2001. Activities completed as part of this effort included: (i) revision and updating of the Project Work Plan, (ii) preparation of equipment procurement documents for the Virginia Tech Purchasing Office, and (iii) initiation of preliminary site visits to several coal preparation plants to discuss test work with industrial personnel. After a brief (2 month) contractual delay, project activities are now underway. There are currently no contractual issues or technical problems associated with this project. Project work activities are now expected to proceed in accordance with the proposed project schedule
