Describing and eliminating the health hazards of coal processing requires an understanding of the nature of the raw materials, products, byproducts, the type of pollutants produced, the design of the plant and its operating methods (Wadden, 1976)The structure of coal was described in Chapter 6 and is thought to be a highly linked amorphous polymer consisting of aggregates
In surface mining, the ground covering the coal seam (the overburden) is first removed to expose the coal seam for extraction The elements of a surface mining operation are (1) topsoil removal and storage for later use, (2) drilling and blasting the strata overlying the coal seam, (3) loading and transporting this fragmented overburden material (called spoil), (4) drilling and blasting the
FIGURE 72 Coal production and consumption in the US in the past 150 years [Source: Energy Information Administration] Coal Formation As described in the general discussion of the carbon cycle (Chapter 6), coal was formed from prehistoric plants, in marshy environments, some tens or hundreds of millions of years ago
The US coal industry serves a vital role in the nation’s economy by producing fuel for more than half of its electricity Despite the industry’s importance, industry financial data for 2005—the strongest year for the coal industry in recent years—shows that it is a relatively small industry with revenues totaling $20 billion to $25 billion and net income between $1 billion and $2

Feb 18, 2020· Coal is a fossil fuel used to produce power in the United States Coal contains trace amounts of naturallyoccurring radioactive elements The process of burning coal at coalfired power plants, called combustion, creates wastes that contain small amounts of naturallyoccurring radioactive material (NORM)
Coal: In a coal based thermal power plant, coal is transported from coal mines to the generating station Generally, bituminous coal or brown coal is used as fuel The coal is stored in either 'dead storage' or in 'live storage' Dead storage is generally 40 days backup coal storage which is used when coal supply is unavailable
Gasification refers to the conversion of coal to a mixture of gases, including carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane, and other hydrocarbons, depending on the conditions involved Gasification may be accomplished either in situ or in processing plants
Within NETL Coal Research and Development, the agreement includes $15,000,000 to perform an assessment and analysis of the feasibility of economically recovering rare earth elements from coal and coal byproduct streams, such as fly ash, coal refuse, and aqueous effluents The Department is directed t o report its findings and,
For example, coal ash residuals contain many trace elements other than strategic elements, which are potentially toxic, such as arsenic The initial acid leaching process is generally nonspecific to trace elements, therefore any remaining common elements will require recovery and disposal

Coal Firing Plants When coal is processed in a plant, it emits several chemicals which are toxic to the environment such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and the radioactive elements uranium, thorium and their decay daughers (see Fig 1) [2] Just in the year 1974 there were 1400 tons of uranium emitted from coal processing plants into the United
A team from the University of Kentucky (Lexington, Ky; wwwukyedu) and Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Blacksburg, Va; wwwvtedu) has set up a novel pilot plant to recover rareearth elements (REEs) from coalbased sources, aiming to produce highgrade REE concentrates from coalbased leachate
