Description
An Introduction to Coal Technology completely describes coal technology research and development. Coal is an important
primary fuel throughout the world and research has spread from coal liquefaction and gasification to technologies for developing clean
coal. The book is divided into two parts. Part I focuses on the formation and fundamental properties of coal. Part II addresses recent
developments and important technical processes such as the preparation and combustion techniques of clean coal, environmental management
of coal, and fast pyrolysis. This Second Edition builds upon and updates the successful treatment presented in Dr. Berkowitzs esteemed
1979 book.
