Mineral coal presents a historical chronology to society, mainly regarding energy generation, and is outstanding in relation to oil when the subject is electricity generation, besides being utilized in the cosmetics and coal gas industry. Thus, the production chain that uses mineral coal must be validated for quality, considering specific prerequisites that show the positivity of this analysis. For this purpose, the present study was characterized by a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), aiming to identify scientific productions that listed the topic of mineral coal quality considering the Science Direct database. In this way, based on the combination of the term “coal quality”, the search found 1794 results, covering the period from 2010 to 2022. The articles that dealt specifically with methods to analyze the quality of mineral coal were classified in order to develop the study. Furthermore, it was found that few publications really discuss the qualification of the coal as their central topic, since the manuscripts showed measurement methods connected to algorithms and the use of mathematical calculations. A gap was also observed in the studies, because they did not consider the coal production chain and the necessary management between the parts of the process, evidencing as a proposition for future work a methodology applied to a computational model that covers the management of coal quality.
