Anthracite — It is the highest rank among the coal types. It is a hard, black, and lustrous rock with a high percentage of fixed carbon (86–98%) and a low percentage of volatile matter (2–12%).

Coal rank is commonly expressed in terms of vitrinite reflectance (see Chapter 2). Because it is measured by optical microscopy and takes into account only one coal component, this parameter has the capacity to provide an indicator that is independent of other factors (e.g., coal type or grade).

The price of coal varies by coal rank and grade, mining method, and geographic region. 1. Coal is classified into four main ranks—lignite, subbituminous, bituminous, and anthracite—depending on the amount and type of carbon it contains and the amount of heat energy it can produce.

The rank and chemistry of the coal have a strong effect on the textures of coke (coal types and coal rank are discussed later in the individual subchapters). The coking carbonisation characteristics of the individual constituents of in the coal determine the type of coke produced. For coking to occur, the coal must fall within a certain rank …

Conclusions. Coal rank and type are fundamentally separate parameters. Coal type is directly related to the environment of peat formation, the cli-mate of peat formation, and the decompositional history of the mire being studied. In general, coal type can be dened as being either fi humic or sapropelic.

A fourth coal type classification is directed towards coals of lignite rank which are sometimes referred to as 'brown' coal. At very low ranks, coal types manifest themselves as color variations, ranging from dark brown to a 'pale' brown hue (George, 1982) ().In part, these color variations are the result of the ratio of preserved plant material to resinous …

There are four major types (or "ranks") of coal. Rank refers to steps in a slow, natural process called "coalification," during which buried plant matter changes into an ever denser, drier, more carbon-rich, and harder material.

The ranking depends on the types and amounts of carbon the coal contains and on the amount of heat energy the coal can produce. The rank of a coal deposit is determined by the amount of pressure and heat that acted on the plants over time. Anthracite contains 86%–97% carbon and generally has the highest heating value of all ranks of coal ...

Coal rank also has very little impact on slag quality. 1. Variations in coal quality can have an impact on the heating value of the syngas produced by the gasification process. However, a desired throughput can be selected and then the size and number of gasifiers can be determined with the specific range of coal types in mind. 1.

It has carbonized past the point of being peat, but contains low amounts of energy—its carbon content is about 25-35 percent. It comes from relatively young coal deposits, about 250 million years old.

Coal type is expressed as the maceral composition of the coal and is independent of coal rank. Humic and sapropelic coal types, to be discussed in this paper, are the fundamental end members of coal type. Within the humic coals there is also a range from bright (vitrinite-rich) to dull (liptinite- and inertinite-rich) materials (lithotypes).
