What is coal and how is it formed? What are the Types of Coal?
Coal is a type of rock containing organic matter and is generally formed by the transformation of plant residues under geological pressure and heat after a long period of time. Here is the formation process of coal:
-
Formation of Plant Remains : Coal generally consists of the dead remains of plants growing in wetlands such as forests, swamps and lakes. These plant remains are preserved over time by being buried in a sedimentary environment.
-
Formation of the Sedimentary Layer : Plant remains are buried by being covered with mud, clay, sand and other sedimentary layers. These layers accumulate over time and are compressed under increasing pressure on plant debris.
-
Transformation Process : Buried plant remains undergo transformation over long periods of time under high pressure and high temperature. In this process, organic substances are transformed into carbon and other elements.
-
Formation of Coal : Under high pressure and temperature, most of the elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen in plant residues are removed, and coal is formed only by the condensation of carbon.
Types of coal vary depending on the conditions in the formation process and differences in its composition.
The most common types of coal are:
-
Lignite : It is the lowest quality coal. It is usually found beneath young sediments. It has a low heat value and contains high humidity.
-
Hard Coal (Bituminous Coal) : It is a medium quality coal and is formed at higher temperatures than lignite. It has a higher heat value and less moisture content.
-
Anthracite : It is the highest quality coal. It has the highest heat value and lowest moisture content. It is usually found in the deepest underground layers.
Besides these varieties, some other types of coal can also be found, but this often depends on local conditions and geological processes.
Areas of use of coal
Coal has various purposes, the uses of coal are as follows:
-
Thermal coal is used in electricity generation.
-
Coking coal is used in steel production.
-
Coal is also used to make silicon metal, which is used in the production of silicon and silanes; These are used to make lubricants, water repellents, resins, cosmetics, hair shampoos and toothpaste.
-
Activated charcoal is used in making face packs and cosmetics.
-
Carbon fiber is made from coal. Carbon fiber is an extremely strong yet lightweight reinforcement material used in construction, mountain bikes and tennis rackets.
-
Activated carbon is used in water and air purification filters and kidney dialysis machines. Charcoal is used to make activated carbon.
-
Paper manufacturers use coal to make paper.
-
Coal helps establish alumina refineries.
-
Thousands of different products contain coal or coal byproducts as components: soap, aspirin, solvents, dyes, plastics, and fibers such as rayon and nylon.
