It contains 80-90% moisture. The composition of peat is C=57%; H=6%; O=35% Ash=2.5%. The calorific value of peat is 5400kcal/kg. It is a low grade fuel due to high water content. It is used as a fertilizer and packing material. Lignite: Lignite
GET PRICELignite, commonly referred to as brown coal, is the very first coal formation, or the "youngest" of the coal products. With high emissions and low energy value, this type of coal is most used in power plants. Because lignite is the youngest of the coal family, it has the highest moisture content. This high moisture content makes the lignite very susceptible to spontaneous combustion. For
GET PRICEThe transformation of vegetable matter into peat and coal is commonly regarded as proceeding in two steps, called the biochemical and physicochemical stage of coalification (Stach et al. 1982), respectively. Other terms, such as "first and second phase" (Mackowsky 1953), or "diagenetic and metamorphic stage" (Teichmüller 1962) have been used to describe the coalification process

Continued burial and the addition of heat and time cause the complex hydrocarbon compounds in the peat to break down and alter in a variety
GET PRICEThe most common classification is based on rank, referring to the degree of coalification that has occurred. The rank of a coal is determined primarily by the depth of burial and temperature to which the coal was subjected over time. With increasing temperature, peat is converted to lignite, a
