Brown coal, properly called "lignite", is the lowest quality coal, and is used only in situations where the "coal dollar" must stretch as far as possible. It has the least heat value per ton, and the highest level of smoke pollutants. It is rarely used in developed countries, unless there is no other alternative for fiscal or supply reasons.
Bituminous coal or black coal is a relatively soft coal containing a tarlike substance called bitumen. It is of higher quality than lignite coal but of poorer quality than anthracite. Formation is usually the result of high pressure being exerted on lignite.

Anthracite Coal
Anthracite coal has been through low-grade metamorphism to become the highest grade of coal. This type of coal has the highest carbon count and the fewest impurities of any other type of coal.
