Long-wave fluorescence relative intensity measurements and a vitrinite micro elasticity index were used to determine oxidation levels in a suite of artificially oxidized coals. These petrographic parameters were correlated with the agglomeration responses of the coals. Very definite relations were found between the petrographic indicators of oxidation and the agglomeration rates of the coals.
