coal is a form of stored solar energy It is created from the remains of plants that have been concentrated by heat and pressure for millions of years Coal is found in various forms or "grades," which depend on the ratio of carbon mass to energy content Represented in descending order of hardness and energy content per pound, these grades are anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminous and lignite [return to top]

coal
A fossil fuel made of sedimentary organic rock that contains more than 40 percent carbon by weight after moisture has been removed It is formed from plant matter that decayed in swamps and bogs that has been compressed and altered by geological processes over millions of years Four main types of coal have been identified and ranked based on how much carbon and energy they contain: lignite, subbituminous coal, bituminous coal, and anthracite
coal

coal
Sedimentary rock composed of the compacted, lithified and altered remains of plants Coal is a solid, combustible mixture of organic compounds, hydrocarbons, with 30 % to 98 % carbon by weight, mixed with various amounts of water and small amounts of sulfur and nitrogen compounds It is formed in several stages as the remains of plants are subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years

Coals are burning pieces of coal. It is important to get the coals white-hot before you start cooking. Solid, usually black but sometimes brown, carbon-rich material that occurs in stratified sedimentary deposits. One of the most important fossil fuels, it is found in many parts of the world. Coal is formed by heat and pressure over millions of years on vegetation deposited in ancient shallow swamps (see peat). It varies in density, porosity, hardness, and reflectivity. The major types are lignite, subbituminous, bituminous, and anthracite. Coal has long been used as fuel, for power generation, for the production of coke, and as a source of various compounds used in synthesizing dyes, solvents, and drugs. The search for alternative energy sources has periodically revived interest in the conversion of coal into liquid fuels; technologies for coal liquefaction have been known since early in the 20th century. hard coal bituminous coal soft coal Coal Measures coal mining European Coal and Steel Community subbituminous coal
coal
A smoldering piece of material
coal
A combustible rock of organic origin composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with lesser amounts of nitrogen, sulphur and other elements Coal is formed from accumulated vegetable matter that has been altered by decay and by various amounts of heat and pressure
coal
A black or brownish/black solid, combustible substance formed by the partial decomposition of vegetable matter without access to air Types of coal are anthracite, subanthracite, bituminous, subbituminous and lignite; the categories are based on fixed carbon, volatile matter, coking properties and heating value
coal
A readily combustible black or brownish-black rock whose composition, including inherent moisture, consists of more than 50 percent by weight and more than 70 percent by volume of carbonaceous material It is formed from plant remains that have been compacted, hardened, chemically altered, and metamorphosed by heat and pressure over geologic time
coal
An organic mineral product resulting from the accumulation of organic material in peat bogs millions of years ago Geologic process compressed the peat into a carbonaceous material Coal varies in quality due to the inclusion of non-organic materials such as sand, silt and clay These determine the character of the coal ash and clinkers Coal also contains variable quantities of volitile hyrdocarbon compounds and sulfur This large number of variables means coal can be in any number of grades ranging from peat, to nearly pure carbon to slate Bituminous coal is a soft coal resulting from the volatile content Anthricite is hard coal that is low in volatiles See our coal and charcoal FAQ

coal
To burn to charcoal; to char
coal

coal
A black or brownish-black solid, combustible substance formed by the partial decomposition of vegetable matter without access to air The rank of coal, which includes anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, and lignite, is based on fixed carbon, volatile matter, and heating value Coal rank indicates the progressive alteration, or coalification, from lignite to anthracite Lignite contains approximately 9 to 17 million British Thermal Unit (BTU) per ton The heat contents of subbituminous and bituminous coal range from 16 to 24 million BTU per ton, and from 19 to 30 million BTU per ton, respectively Anthracite contains approximately 22 to 28 million BTU per ton
