## Abstract
Abstract Bulupodo coal has a fairly high ash content and low total sulphur. The main objective of this research is to reduce the ash content in Bulupodo coal. The methods used was chemical washing of coal using hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) with washing variables such as time (30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes, and 180 minutes), H 2 O 2 concentration (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%), temperature (45°C, 60°C, and 80°C) and particle sizes (16 mesh, 40 mesh, and 70 mesh). The results of the quality analysis show that Bulupodo coal has a moisture of 6.37%; ash 53.3%; volatile matter 26.79%; fixed carbon 14.45%; and a total sulfur of 0.53%. Hence, mineral matter analysis using microscopic and XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) show that Bulupodo coal contains kaolinite, illite, quartz, and pyrite minerals. As a result washing with the highest reduction time variable of ash content at 180 minutes was 21.63%; the concentration variable of the highest ash content reduction solution was at a concentration of 20% of 14.78%; the temperature variable for the reduction of the highest ash content at 60°C was 13.45%; and the particle size variable for the reduction of the highest ash content was at a particle size of 40 mesh of 7.32%.
