ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES OF COAL MINING INTRODUCTION Coal is the most abundant fuel resource in India. It is the prime source of energy and perhaps the largest contributor to the industrial growth of the country. It is a crucial and enduring element in a modern‚ balanced energy portfolio‚ providing a bridge to the future as an important low cost and secure energy solution to sustainability challenges. Some important facts about coal industry in India are as follows: •India is

Jonathan Strong advocates that “Coal is one of the most abundant fossil fuels in the world and can be mined relatively easily. Tennessee‚ Kentucky‚ West Virginia‚ and Montana have huge reserves of coal (Strong).” Strong states that Governor Brian Schweitzer of Montana believes that his state “could produce oil and other petroleum products from the millions of tons of coal reserves it owns in

KILLING FOR COAL THE SHIFT IN ECONOMIES Up until the 1800s‚ America was almost exclusively an organic economy‚ one in which people met their needs of food‚ fuel‚ shelter‚ and clothing by harvesting energy and materials from the plants‚ animals‚ rivers‚ and wind. The growth potential of organic economies remained constrained by the limited ability of people to tap into the sun’s energy through farms‚ windmills‚ waterwheels‚ etc. Carbon-based fuel use began in the late eighteenth century. The Industrial

As coal is a cheap fire material‚ and coal fired boiler is still very popular used in many industry. Here this article will say something detail about how to improve the efficiency of a coal boiler. In high capacity pulverized coal fired boilers‚ the total losses account to about 12 to 14%‚ i.e. 86 to 88% boiler efficiency. Roughly 50% of the losses can be tuned to the optimum and the other 50% is governed by fuel properties like hydrogen in fuel‚ moisture in fuel‚ and ambient air conditions. Boiler
