Description

Coal is an important fossil fuel resource for many nations due to its large remaining resources, relatively low processing cost and high energy intensity potential. Certain issues surround its utilization, however, including emissions of pollutants and growing concern about climate change. The two volumes of The coal handbook present a systematic and comprehensive review of coal production and utilization in industrial applications, from power plants to steel and iron making, with emphasis on cleaner production. Volume 1 deals with the coal production supply chain and covers all of the important aspects of coal properties and characterization that drive utilization and influence both cost-in-use and increasingly significant environmental consequences. Chapters cover in detail the various stages extending from resource evaluation, planning the recovery and coal preparation and handling.
