There are many varieties of coal, ranging from anthracite, bituminous, lignite, peat to brown coal, but the unique caking ability of metallurgical coal makes it different from other forms of coal. Moreover, the sole property of coking coke makes it an unreplaceable ingredient in the steel manufacturing industry.
view moreAnthracite, which represents the highest rank of coal, was formed in the coalification process when fossil sedimentation was subject to high pressures over millions of years. Anthracite has the highest content of fixed carbon and the lowest ratio of volatile matter of all natural coal types.

view moreAnthracite is a high-rank coal, representing a coal that has been subjected to the highest grade of metamorphism. Anthracite is shiny black, hard and brittle (see Figure 2.8) and has the highest fixed-carbon content (approximately 86–98%).Due to its low volatile matter (2–12%), anthracite's combustion process is slow.

view moreAnthracite Coal – this coal is of highest rank. It is higher in carbon and very low in volatile matter (less than 10 percent). It exhibits a semi metallic luster and burns without smoke. Its carbon content is nearly more than 87 percent on a …
view moreBy definition, bituminous coal contains less than 86 percent fixed carbon while anthracite contains 86 percent or more fixed carbon. Because of the difference in their relative levels of carbon, each of these types of coal is used very differently. Bituminous coal is mostly burned in order to generate electricity.
view moreAnthracite differs from ordinary bituminous coal by its greater hardness (2.75–3 on the Mohs scale ), [12] its higher relative density of 1.3–1.4, and luster, which is often semi-metallic with a mildly green reflection. It contains a high percentage …
view moreBituminous coal accounted for about 45% of U.S. coal production in 2020. Anthracite contains 86%–97% carbon and has a heating value that is slightly higher on average than bituminous coal. Anthracite is the least abundant rank of coal in the United States, and it generally accounts for less than 1% of annual U.S. coal production.
