Coal balls are limestone concretions encountered in coal seams which represent peat (sensu Cohen Spackman I 977, I 980) that was permineralized by calcium and magnesium carbonates, before appreciable compaction or alteration took place, giving an exceptionally preserved fossil plant assemblage (Stopes Watson I908; Mamay Yochelson I962; Sch...

The oldest coal balls were found in Germany and former Czechoslovakia . In 1962, Sergius Mamay and Ellis Yochelson found signs of marine animal remains in North American coal balls. [2]

Coal balls are important sources of fossil information relating to the forests preceding the Coal Age.

At present, coal is still the main raw material for power generation [1], [2], [3].In 2015, 750 million tons of coal were used to generate electricity [4] 1 ton of coal combustion produced ton of CO 2 and ton of fly ash [5].Coalfired power plants contributed to more than 30% of the world's carbon emissions [6].At the same time, the longterm accumulation of fly ash ...

Proximate analysis determines by using set procedures regarding moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash content ( Figure ). Proximate analysis is reported by percent on asreceived, moisturefree, and moist and ashfree ...

The results of the total intrusion volume, average pore diameter and specific surface area of fly ash samples, shown in Fig. 2, presented the great changes of those parameters with the ballmill total intrusion volume and average pore diameter decreased sharply as the milling time was increased and exhibited small peak when the ball mill time is around ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Highlights The earliest cement in coal balls from the Kalo Fm. is marine, highMg calcite. Early diagenetic pyrite and highMg calcite indicate a marine origin for coal balls. Coal balls with meteoric and marine calcite formed in hydrologically dynamic mires. Burial diagenesis has altered most coalball calcite to lowMg, ferroan calcite. Diagenetically altered coalball cements may not retain ...
