Peat is the youngest of all coals. This means the vegetation from which it came was buried a shorter time than that of other coals. Peat has the least heat value of all solid fuels.
Lignite is sometimes called brown coal. It's a little older than peat and has more heating value.
Bituminous coal has the highest heating value of all solid fuels.
Anthracite coal is the hardest of all coals and the oldest in nature.
Coal may also be designated into groups by its ultimate use: Thermal, Metallurgical
There are three groups (Low, Medium and High Volatile Coal) based on how it can be coked.

What are the different types of fossil fuels?
Oil, Coal, and Petroleum
What are some nonrenewable things?
Theres two different types of resources oil and coal.
What is the chemical name for fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are non renewable source of energy. They are formed by the decomposition of wastes of plants and animals which were buried underneath the earth million years ago. ex: coal,oil, wood etc.
What is the parent rock for anthracite coal?
Peat (not much of a rock).
Short note on different varieties of coal?
There are four types of coal as under:Lignite coalUsed almost exclusively for electric power generation lignite is a young type of coal. Lignite is brownish black, has a high moisture content (up to 45 %), and a high suphur content. Lignite is more like soil than a rock and tends to disintegrate when exposed to the weather. Lignite is also called brown coal. Lignite has a colorific value of less than 5 kw/kg approximately.Subbituminous coalSubbituminous coal is also called black lignite. Subbituminous coal black and contains 20-30 % moisture. Subbituminous coal is used for generating electricity and space heating. Subbitumnious coal has calorific values ranging from 5 - 6.8 kW/kG approximately.Bituminous coalBituminous coal is a soft, dense, black coal. Bituminous coal often has bands of bright and dull material in it. Bituminous coal is the most common coal and has a moisture content less than 20 %. Bituminous coal is used for generating electricity, making coke, and space heating.Bituminous coal has calorific values ranging from 6.8 - 9 kW/kG approximately.Anthracite coalOften referred to as hard coal, anthracite is hard, black and lustrous. Anthracite is low in suplhur and high in carbon. It is the highest rank of coal. moisture content generally is less than 15 %.Anthracite has a calorfific values of around 9 kW/kG or above.
How do you get electrictiy from coal?
You cannot get electricity from coal. Electricity and coal are two very different types of material.
Which types of wriking in coal handling process?
The Coal Handling Plant is needed in the coal handling process.
What are types of mines?
coal mining
What types of energy are in coal?
The main types of energy in coal are chemical energy, which is released when coal is burned, and potential energy stored within the coal itself. When coal is burned, the chemical energy is converted into thermal energy, which can be used for generating electricity or heating.
What are the different names of coal?
The names for the different types of coal depends on the organic content. The coal with the lowest percentage of organic matter is anthracite. (around 10 % organics) Then comes steam coal, bituminous coal. (around 20 %) Lignite is a form of coal with high organic content (around 50 %) Peat is a coal precursor (half way to being coal) (More than 50 %)
What are the types of coal found in India?
copper
What types of jobs are there in the Appalachian?
coal mining
What type of coal has the highest carbon?
Anthracite coal has the highest carbon content among all types of coal. It is a hard, shiny, and dense coal that is often referred to as "hard coal."
What type of coal burns the most effeciently?
Anthracite coal burns the most efficiently because it has the highest carbon content and the lowest moisture content among all types of coal. It produces more heat and less smoke compared to other types of coal.
What type of coal is a sedimentary rock?
All types of coal are sedimentary, except anthracite which is metamorphic.
What are different types of sedimentary rock?
Coal and Sandstone are two types of sedimentary rocks.
Is there only one type of coal?
No, there are four main types of coal: anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, and lignite. These types differ in their carbon content, energy content, and usage.
