How does Coal impact the environment?
Coal impacts the environment by contributing to air pollution through the release of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other harmful pollutants. Mining coal can also lead to habitat destruction, soil erosion, and water pollution. Additionally, burning coal for energy generation is a major contributor to climate change.
What are the enviromental effects of using coal?
Burning coal releases carbon dioxide, which (according to the US EPA) is a polluting greenhouse gas. The extra CO2 added to the atmosphere is overwhelming the carbon cycle and is causing global warming.
Name a type of rock that is burned as a fuel?
Coal is a type of rock that can be burned as a fuel source to generate heat and electricity.
Why is waste coal good for the environment?
It makes people switch to new fuel sources.It leaves less pollution in the ground.It makes less air pollution in Poland.It cleans the coal so there is no waste.
What is the most polluting energy source?
A high sulfur lignite coal would create the most SO2 and CO2 of any solid fuel A high sulfur bunker oil would create the most SO2 and CO2 of any liquid fuel Sour gas with high average molecular weight would create the most SO2 and CO2 of any gaseous fuel
How waste coal can be burned without polluting the air or water?
Waste coal can be burned using technology such as fluidized bed combustion or integrated gasification combined cycle, which can help reduce emissions. Additionally, installing advanced emission control systems like electrostatic precipitators and flue gas desulfurization units can further minimize air pollution. Proper disposal of ash and wastewater is crucial to prevent water pollution.

What is one waste product that product that is produced when nonrenewable resources such as natural gas oil and coal are burned?
sulfur dioxide
How is coal being misused?
Being used (burned) without proper emission control.
What does coal ash form into when burned?
When coal is burned, coal ash forms into a residue that contains various minerals, metals, and other impurities like silica, iron, aluminum, calcium, and magnesium. This residue is commonly known as coal ash or fly ash and is often collected and disposed of at coal-fired power plants.
Why is the use of coal not advisable?
Coal isn't advisable to use 'cause it is the most polluting of all the fossil fuels. It is the most polluting fossil fuel because it contains sulfur or other substances which pollute the air when it is burned. -from a student in I-Barium in AHIS [woohoo! and I'm proud of it to be one of them! 1st section rocks! Barum-ians rock! share q lng! :D]-
How are India and china polluting?
Supposedly from all the coal burning.
What happens when coal is burn without oxygen?
When coal is burned without oxygen, it undergoes a process called pyrolysis where it decomposes into volatile gases, tar, and char. This can produce useful byproducts such as charcoal and coal gas, which can be used in various industrial processes.
What is burned to make energy?
Various materials can be burned to generate energy, including coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, and even waste products. When these materials are burned, the heat produced can be harnessed to generate electricity or power various processes.
Which coal is burned with the least flame?
anthracite coal
What does cinders mean?
# A burned or partly burned substance, such as coal, that is not reduced to ashes but is incapable of further combustion. # A partly charred substance that can burn further but without flame.
Where is coal burning done?
Coal is burned mostly in fireboxes in coal fired power plants. Coal is also sometimes burned in furnaces in industrial facilities that refine and process various metals. Coal is also roasted (heated without oxygen so that it does not burn) to produce coke, which is widely used in steel mills (mostly as a carbon source and fuel in blast furnaces).
