This book was released on 1996 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report compiles coal quality data from most of the coal fields in British Columbia. Data are from two major sources: analyses of raw coal samples collected at producing mines; and coal assessment reports submitted by industry. Specific analytical parameters discussed include coal petrography, proximate and ultimate analyses, calorific value, mineral matter content, ash chemistry, phosphorus concentrations, trace element concentrations, and caking power. The focus is on raw coals throughout, although in certain cases clean coal data are used. The report also compares British Columbia coals with world coals and comments on factors influencing suitability of the province's coals for various end uses.
