Coal is formed by geometrical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical processes. Once coal has been extracted, it can be utilized as a raw solid, processed to improve its quality as a solid fuel, or converted into either gas or oil. Regardless of the technology employed in coal utilization, the fact remains that coal production

THE FORMATION OF COAL What is Coal? Coal is a combustible, sedimentary, organic rock formed from ancient vegetation, which has been consolidated between other rock strata and transformed by the combined effects of microbial action, pressure and heat over a considerable time. This process is referred to as 'coalification'.

Coal Formation Coal is a readily comb ustible rock containing more than 50 percent by weight and more than 70 percent by v olume of carbon aceous material, formed from compaction of variously altered plant remains similar to those of peaty deposits (Schopf, 1956). The original plant materials that became coal accumulated in mires.

Continental flexures formed in response to crustal thickening in active orogens (, foreland basins) provide such a setting and are commonly associated with coalbearing deposits, as their rates of subsidence and coal accumulation can be roughly comparable, permitting the formation and preservation of thick peats (124126). Extensive ...

Abstract. This chapter describes the process of coalification, which gradually turns plant debris into coal, involving heat, pressure and the effects of time. Chemical changes during peatification and coalification are described, and also structural changes in coal during coalification are covered (cleats and their development).

There are three basic forms of fossil fuels: petroleum (or, crude) natural gas, and coal (subdivided in different ranks). [1] Fossil fuels store energy in the bonds between the atoms that make up their molecules. Burning the fuels breaks apart those bonds, and this releases the energy that originally came from the sun.

Coal is physically, chemically, and thermally altered peat. Peat is partially decayed plant material, mineral matter, and water, which accumulates in anoxic swamps or mires (peatforming wetlands). Peats generally have organic contents greater than 75%, inorganic mineral contents less than 25%, and water contents of 7590% (Schopf 1966; Jarrett 1983; Clymo 1987; Alpern and deSousa 2002).

The formation of coal takes millions of years, which is why it is an exhaustible and nonrenewable natural resource. It was formed around 300 million years ago when the earth was covered with swampy forests. When plants in these forests mainly trees, mosses, ferns, and reeds died, they fell into the swamps.

The coalification process produces water and carbon dioxide during lignite and lowrank coal formation, while in lowrank bituminous coals with more than 29 % volatile matter, mainly carbon dioxide is evolved followed by methane with small amount of heavier hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen.

The blended coal mass is heated for 12 to 20 hours for metallurgical coke. Thermal energy from the walls of the coke chamber heats the coal mass by conduction from the sides to the middle of the coke chamber. During the coking process, the charge is in direct contact with the heated wall surfaces and develops into an aggregate "plastic zone".

Coal contains a significant concentration of free radicals as a result of the coalification process. One of the experimental methods sensitive to the presence of radicals is electron spin resonance (ESR), and differences in ESR spectra for different macerals may provide insight into coalforming processes.

They were formed between 350 million and 50 million years ago. The processes by which they formed are not totally understood. Decayed remains of ancient plants and/or animals were buried by sediments. Through the action of heat and pressure over millions of centuries, they were chemically changed. Coal, oil, and natural gas are the results.

Coal seams originate and are formed by the consolidation of biota, minerals, and natural chemicals through geologic time. Compression, heat, sedimentation, erosion, and chemical energy are agents of the coal formation process. Multiple coal seams can exist in a reserve, with each coal seam separated by sedimentary rock interburden.
