Coal classification, any of various ways in which coal is grouped. Most classifications are based on the results of chemical analyses and physical tests, but some are more empirical in nature. Coal classifications are important because they provide valuable information to commercial users (e.g., for power generation and coke manufacturing) and to researchers studying the origin of coal.
COAL CLASSIFICATION BY RANK COMPARISON The coal classification employed in Canada is the ASTM ranking system that is based on the fixed carbon and calorific value on the dry mineral matter free basis (dmmf) This system was adopted in 1938 and is a general guideline to classify different coal ranks Table 1 lists coal rank classification under
Classification of Coal by Rank (ASTM D388-12) Coal Rank: Fix Carbon Limits: Volatile Content: Gross Calorific Value Limits: Agglomerating Characteristics % % Btu/lb: MJ/kg: dmmf: dmmf: Moisture mmf: moisture mmf: Antracite Class: Meta- Anthracite ≥98% <2% Non-agglomerating: Anthracite: 92 to 98%: 2 to 8% Semi-Anthracite (Lean Coal) 86 to 92%
Coal rank is a measure of coal maturity and is the most fundamental parameter that relates both to the coalification history and the utilisation potential of a coal. Figure 14.3 shows the change in coal chemical and physical properties with rank from bituminous to anthracite coals (Teichmuller and Teichmuller, 1975).As the rank increases, the vitrinite reflectance, carbon content, and C/H
The ASTM coal rank classification is based on a number of parameters obtained by various prescribed tests, which include calorific or heating value, volatile matter, moisture, ash, and fixed carbon (Figure 4.10). Calorific or heating value of coal is defined as heat energy released as it undergoes complete combustion with oxygen. Volatile
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams.Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years.
The biggest coal deposit by volume is the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana, which the USGS estimated to have 1.07 trillion short tons of in-place coal resources, 162 billion short tons of recoverable coal resources, and 25 billion short tons of economic coal resources (also called reserves) in
Careful study of the diagram using a variety of coals of different rank and provenance confirms that it cannot correctly predict the CSR of cokes based only on petrographic data. For example, the Australian coal, Blackwater, from south Queensland, has a vitrinite reflectance of 1.04%, and an

Coal is a readily combustible rock containing more than 50 percent by weight of carbonaceous material formed from compaction and indurations of variously altered plant remains similar to those in peat.. After a considerable amount of time, heat, and burial pressure, it is metamorphosed from peat to lignite.
The coal formation process involves the burial of peat, which is made of partly decayed plant materials, deep underground. The heat and pressure of burial alters the texture and increases the carbon content of the peat, which transforms it into coal, a type of sedimentary rock. This process takes millions of years. Types, or “ranks,” of coal are determined by carbon content.
Bituminous coal, also called soft coal, the most abundant form of coal, intermediate in rank between subbituminous coal and anthracite according to the coal classification used in the United States and Canada. In Britain bituminous coal is commonly called “ steam coal,” and in Germany the term Steinkohle (“rock coal”) is used. In the United States and Canada bituminous coal is divided
The term 'black coal' is used in Australia to refer to anthracite, as well as bituminous and sub-bituminous coals (Table 3.7). Black coal is higher in energy and has lower moisture content than brown coal. Brown coal, also called lignite, is a low-ranked coal with high moisture content that is
Lignite is the lowest rank of coal. It is a peat that has been transformed into a rock, and that rock is a brown-black coal. Lignite sometimes contains recognizable plant structures. By definition it has a heating value of less than 8300 British Thermal Units per pound on a mineral-matter-free basis. It has a carbon content of between 60 and 70
Subbituminous coal is the predominant rank of coal produced west of the Mississippi River, accounting for 62 percent of the region's total coal output in 1992. Subbituminous coal in Wyoming's Powder River Basin, the principal source of this rank of coal, has an emission factor
Unit designed for low rank virgin coal subcategory means any coal-fired EGU that is designed to burn and that is burning nonagglomerating virgin coal having a calorific value (moist, mineral matter-free basis) of less than 19,305 kJ/kg (8,300 Btu/lb) that is constructed and operates at or near the mine that produces such coal.

Coal rank: A classification of coal based on fixed carbon, volatile matter, and heat-ing value of the coal.

Coal is broadly separated into brown and black which have different thermal properties and uses. Brown coal (lignite) has a low energy and high ash content. Brown coal is unsuitable for export and is used to generate electricity in power stations located at or near the mine. Black coal is harder than brown coal and has a higher energy content.
