@article{osti_5142620, title = {Characteristics of Illinois Basin bituminous coals}, author = {Damberger, H H}, abstractNote = {Coals of the Illinois Basin represent the full range of the high volatile bituminous rank; the lowest rank coals occur in the northwestern portion of the coal basin and the highest rank coals in southeastern Illinois.
Bituminous coal is the most abundant rank of coal found in the United States, and it accounted for about 44% of total U.S. coal production in 2020. Bituminous coal is used to generate electricity and is an important fuel and raw material for making coking coal or use in the iron and steel industry. Bituminous coal was produced in at least 18 ...
Anthracite, also known as hard coal, is a hard, compact variety of coal that has a submetallic luster.It has the highest carbon content, the fewest impurities, and the highest energy density of all types of coal and is the highest ranking of coals.. Anthracite is the most metamorphosed type of coal (but still represents low-grade metamorphism), in which the carbon content is between 86% and 98%.
Typically, coal rank increases as the amount of fixed carbon increases and the amount of volatile matter and moisture decreases. Bituminous coals are by far the largest group and are characterized as having lower fixed carbon and higher volatile matter than anthracite. The key distinguishing characteristics of bituminous coal are
Co-pyrolysis characteristics of biomass and bituminous coal have been studied in this work. The temperature was up to 900°C with the heating rates of 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30°C/min. Rice straw, saw dust, microcrystalline cellulose, lignin and Shenfu bituminous coal were chosen as samples. Six different …

perature characteristics but of different maximumfluidities (Giese- ler) were investigated to determine what components of coal are responsible for its plastic properties. An Illinois high-volatile B bituminous coal and an Eastern high-volatile A bituminous coal were investigated. A portion of the Illinois coal …
The four ranks are: Anthracite: The highest rank of coal. It is a hard, brittle, and black lustrous coal, often referred to as hard coal, containing a high percentage of fixed carbon and a low percentage of volatile matter. Bituminous: Bituminous coal is a middle rank coal between subbituminous and anthracite. Bituminous coal usually has a high ...
This study developed a NH3 emission factor for bituminous coal power plants in South Korea in order to investigate the NH3 emission characteristics. The NH3 concentration analysis results showed that emissions from the selected bituminous coal power plants were in the range of 0.21–0.99 ppm, and that the difference in NH3 concentration was affected by NOx concentration.
ABSTRACT Two samples of low-volatile bituminous coal from Bering River Coal Field were sited to 0.525" x 3, 3 x 6, 6 x 10, 10 x 20, and 20 x 35 mesh and their washability characteristics studied at specific gravities ranging from 1.29 to 1.55. The results showed that the coals can be up-graded to an ash content as low as 2% with conventional ...
The Characteristics of Bituminous Coal . Although it is safe to say that bituminous coal is the most popular option for residential use, it is important to recognise the different options that are available on the market. After all, lignite can be used to create fertilizer products whereas anthracite is the perfect smokeless fuel alternative. ...

Sub bituminous coal has a heating value between 8300 and 13000 British Thermal Units per pound on a mineral-matter-free basis. On the basis of heating value, it is subdivided into sub bituminous A, sub bituminous B, and sub bituminous C ranks. Bituminous. Bituminous is the most abundant rank of coal.
Considering the bituminous coal in the Xutuan coal mine of Anhui Province, China, the permeability characteristics of coal samples under different pressure and stress conditions, and a single LN 2 treatment and cyclic fracturing conditions were studied. Additionally, an evaluation of the macroscopic cracking behavior of coal was carried out.
subbituminous coal, also called black lignite, generally dark brown to black coal, intermediate in rank between lignite and bituminous coal according to the coal classification used in the United States and Canada. In many countries subbituminous coal is considered to be a brown coal.Subbituminous coal contains 42 to 52 percent carbon (on a dry, ash-free basis) and has calorific values ranging ...
Bituminous Coal: Great pressure results in the creation of bituminous, or "soft" coal. This is the type most commonly used for electric power generation in the U.S. It has a higher heating value than either lignite or sub-bituminous, but less than that of anthracite. Bituminous coal is mined chiefly in the Midwest & Appalachia

Bituminous coal has a rank higher than that of the lignite coal and sub-bituminous coal, but a rank lower than that of the anthracite coal. The key distinguishing characteristics of bituminous coal are its relative VM and sulphur (S) content as well as its slagging and agglomerating characteristics.
The PSD of micropore for bituminous coal is the narrowest, mainly centering on 0.8–0.9 nm. Contrary to bituminous coal, anthracite and lignite have abundant micropore and possess wide PSD at the range of less than 0.95 nm. The main micropore distribution for anthracite is around 0.58 nm, 0.66 nm, 0.76 nm and 0.88 nm.
The Bituminous Coal market share report divides the market by volume and value, based on the leading manufacturer, application, product type and geography. The report gives an accurate analysis of Bituminous Coal products based on sales revenue, sales volume, price, cost and gross margin, which is useful for decisions to be made for the ...
Coal is a rock formed from the decomposition of plant life. It is primarily composed of carbon, with many other trace elements. Bituminous coal or black coal is a relatively soft coal containing a tarlike substance called bitumen or asphalt. It is of higher quality than lignite and Sub-bituminous coal, but of poorer quality than anthracite.
Pyrolysis characteristics of Shenmu bituminous coal and its pyrolysates were investigated in this paper. The results show that Shenmu bituminous coal is a kind of valuable resource. The semi-coke, tar and pyrolysis gas are useful material for industrial production. Friedman method was used to describe Shenmu bituminous coal pyrolysis.
