Coal is classified into four main types, or ranks: anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, and lignite. The ranking depends on the types and amounts of carbon the coal contains and on the amount of heat energy the coal can produce. The rank of a coal deposit is determined by the amount of pressure and heat that acted on the plants over time.

Lignite has a brownish coloring that is not characteristic of what people commonly associate coal to look like.

view moreThere are three main stages in the process of converting peat to coal known as coalification. Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements. Typically ferns and vegetation found in swamps or bogs. Whatever is left from this process is called peat. Stage one in coal production is peat.

view moreAs mentioned above, there are primarily 4 types of coal that are distinguished from one another based on their process of formation. 1st Stage - Peat The first evolutionary phase of coal formation is Peat that is a bit more than wood pulp which has been poorly decomposed. There are huge deposits of Peat in the Greenland and Scandinavian countries.
view moreThe "five stages" method divides the process of the spontaneous combustion of coal into five stages, including: the latent stage, heat accumulating stage, evaporation stage, active stage, and hypoxic stage. The critical point of each stage was determined using adiabatic oxidation experiments and programmed heat experiments.
