  2. Coking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coking

    Coking is the process of heating coal in the absence of oxygen to a temperature above 600 °C (1,112 °F) to drive off the volatile components of the raw coal, leaving behind a hard, strong, porous material with a high carbon content called coke. Coke is predominantly carbon.

  3. Coal-fired power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal-fired_power_station

    Thus chemical energy stored in coal is converted successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. Coal-fired power stations are the largest single contributor to climate change, [8] releasing approximately 12 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, [2] about one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. [9]

    Plant Bowen, the third-largest coal-fired power station in the United States. This is a list of the 212 operational coal-fired power stations in the United States.. Coal generated 16% of electricity in the United States in 2023, [1] an amount less than that from renewable energy or nuclear power, [2] [3] and about half of that generated by natural gas plants.

  5. Coal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal

    Most coal is used as fuel. 27.6% of world energy was supplied by coal in 2017 and Asia used almost three-quarters of it. [79] Other large-scale applications also exist. The energy density of coal is roughly 24 megajoules per kilogram [80] (approximately 6.7 kilowatt-hours per kg). For a coal power plant with a 40% efficiency, it takes an ...

  6. Rotowaro Carbonisation Plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotowaro_Carbonisation_Plant

    The first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, [1] the plant was constructed in the late 1930s to convert otherwise unusable low-quality coal from the nearby Rotowaro Coal Mines into carbon briquettes, which were then used for domestic heating. The coal was carbonised using the Lurgi process, the result being coke and charcoal, with tar and ...

    James Young's Addiewell Works in West Lothian. The term was in use by the late 18th century for oil produced as a by-product of the production of coal gas and coal tar. [6] In the early 19th century, it was discovered that coal oil distilled from cannel coal could be used in lamps as an illuminant, although the early coal oil burned with a smokey flame, so that it was used only for outdoor ...

  8. Cherry Valley Coke Ovens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_Valley_Coke_Ovens

    Leetonia Coal & Iron would mine the surrounding areas for coal and then cart coal by the tons into the coke ovens on rails above the ovens. The workers would then shovel the coal into the coke ovens to cook. This would purify the coal into a purer product of coal called coke which was then shipped off to the iron mills to be used in smelting iron.

  9. Coal liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_liquefaction

    Coal liquefaction is a process of converting coal into liquid hydrocarbons: liquid fuels and petrochemicals. This process is often known as "coal to X" or "carbon to X", where X can be many different hydrocarbon-based products. However, the most common process chain is "coal to liquid fuels" (CTL). [1]
