Coal dust is deliberately manufactured by grinding to a powder as fine as talcum. It is used as a binder in Sand together with Fullers Earth (Bentonite), to produce a fine heat proof surface in making metal casting moulds.
Like its dangerously combustible counterpart in the mines, coal dust is also intentionally made at electric power plants by crushing lump coal that is brought in as its fuel. The coal is crushed into a powder like substance and air injected into the plant's furnace. Being highly combustible, the powder immediately ignites and provides heat do create steam for the turbines to generate electricity. This instant ignition avoids any start up time for lump coal to begin burning and allows for the plant operators to easily adjust the amount of heat being delivered to suit their needs.
