The transformation of lignite to subbituminous coal has been well studied by numerous researchers [37,40–47] with various analytical methods. Based on the results obtained, several structural models have been suggested for the formation of lignin to bituminous coal during coalification, which include some basic reactions (Fig. 3) [40].These are (a) …

اقرأ أكثرThe carbon content of sub-bituminous coal varies from 70-76%. [2] Sub-bituminous coals are among the younger coals geologically and are approximately 251 million years old, with an energy density that ranges from 18-23 MJ / kg [3]. This type of coal is among the most common, with 30% of coal resources being sub-bituminous.
