Abstract
Coal's quality deterioration has been assessed by measuring its carbon and hydrogen contents, calorific value, hard groove grindability index, and rea ctivity by a differential-scanning calorimeter (DSC). The deterioration, wa s more prominent in sunny days with intermittent rain. Annually approximate ly 2500 kJ per kg decrease in calorific value of coal the was observed. Pos sible remedial measures have also been discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
