What are the uses of Anthracite?
anthracite was popular around the 1800s for heating houses but due to it's quality, the price is higher making it less feasible for electricity generation.Today, due to substitutes like petroleum and LNG (liquid natural gas), it is not widely used.
What is anthracite used for?
Anthracite forms from the metamorphism of bituminous coal. The metamorphism occurs due to pressures and temperatures from depth of burial or stresses derived from plate movements.
Which Type of coal is used as household fuel?
Pea coal has been used in household coal stoves for more than a century and a half. It is typically crushed anthracite coal, or sometimes semi-bituminous coal.

What does bituminous coal change into after it's put under lots of heat and pressure?
Well it depends on when you mean....Bituminous coal that's mined can be fired in bee oven to produce "Coke", a fuel.Burned Bituminous Coal in a furnace produces clunkers--hard, brittle chunks with coal burned out.When a waste heap of coal catches fire, it produces Reg Dog, a hard, partly brittle rock used as road cover.In the ground, unmined and under pressure and heat, Bituminous coal changes to Anthracite coal.
How many forms of coal are there?
Coal is classified into four general categories, or "ranks." They range from lignite through sub-bituminous and bituminous to anthracite, reflecting the progression of individual deposits of coal to increasing heat and pressure. Anthracite coal has the highest carbon content, frequently associated with home heating. Bituminous coal is the most plentiful form of coal in the United States, and is used primarily to generate electricity and make coke for the steel industry. Sub-bituminous coal ranks below bituminous. This coal generally has a lower sulfur content than other types, which makes it attractive for use because it is cleaner burning. Lignite coal is a geologically young coal which has the lowest carbon content, 25-35 percent. Sometimes called brown coal, it is mainly used for electric power generation. Hope it helped :)
