Brown coal, broad and variable group of low-rank coals characterized by their brownish coloration and high (greater than 50 percent) moisture content. These coals typically include lignite and some subbituminous coals.In Great Britain and other countries, the term brown coal is used to describe those low-rank coals (lignite and subbituminous coal) that generally have a brown colour.

Bituminous coal is dark brown to black in colour and commonly banded, or layered. Microscopically, three main groups of macerals (individual organic constituents of coal) can be recognized: vitrinite, liptinite, and inertinite.The glassy material in most bituminous coal is vitrinite, composed of macerals derived primarily from woody plant tissue.

Lignite, often referred to as brown coal, is a soft, brown, combustible, sedimentary rock formed from naturally compressed peat.It is considered the lowest rank of coal due to its relatively low heat content.It has a carbon content around 20-35% percent. It is mined all around the world, is used almost exclusively as a fuel for steam-electric power generation, and is the coal which is most ...

Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams.Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years.

Bituminous coal appears shiny and smooth when you first see it, but look closer and you may see it has layers. Subbituminous: Subbituminous coal is black in color and dull (not shiny), and has a higher heating value than lignite. Lignite: Lignite coal, aka brown coal, is the lowest grade coal with the least concentration of carbon.

Soft coal is also known as brown coal or lignite.China produces more hard coal than any other country by a factor of about three.

29-1-2020· Sometimes called “brown coal,” lignite is the lowest quality and most crumbly coal. This softer and geologically “younger” coal sits relatively close to the earth’s surface. Lignite can be broken down chemically through coal gasification, the process of producing syngas from coal along with water, air and/or oxygen.

Coal comes in four main types or ranks: lignite or brown coal, bituminous coal or black coal, anthracite and graphite. Each type of coal has a certain set of physical parameters which are mostly controlled by moisture, volatile content (in terms of aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons ) and carbon content.

The coal formation process involves the burial of peat, which is made of partly decayed plant materials, deep underground. The heat and pressure of burial alters the texture and increases the carbon content of the peat, which transforms it into coal, a type of sedimentary rock. This process takes millions of years. Types, or “ranks,” of coal are determined by carbon content.
