What Is Called Coal?

Coal is nothing but a sedimentary rock of black color, made up of combustible carbon. It's a type of fossil fuel that has been used as a major source of energy for centuries. Its usage has drastically increased after the Industrial Revolution, especially after the invention of the steam engine. Well, it is not wrong to say that coal plays a significant part in the development of any nation, and thus, its demand among coal buyers always remains at its peak.


What Are the Major Types of Coal?

Coal can be classified into the following major types.

  • Anthracite Coal: It is a hard and compact type of coal with the highest carbon content. 

  • Bituminous Coal: It has bitumen, and its carbon content ranges from 70% to 85%.

  • Coking Coal: This coal variety is used to produce high-quality coke, which is a fuel used in the steelmaking process.

  • Indonesian Coal: As the name suggests, it is produced in Indonesia and is widely used for generating electricity.

  • Lignite Coal: It has a low carbon content and is brownish-black in color. 

  • Thermal Coal: This type of steam coal is used for heating, as well as, electricity generation processes. 

  • Charcoal: It is basically a burnt wood, dark black in color, with high carbon content.

  • White Coal: Charring of wood is done at a low temperature to make this bio-coal, and it's a renewable energy source.

  • Coal Tar:  Production of coal gas and coke releases coal tar as a by-product. It is used to treat various medical skin conditions.

Why do Importers Buy Coal?

As we already know about coal, it can be found almost everywhere in the world. Its vast usage, both industrial and domestic, is the reason why importers buy coal in bulk quantities. From generating electricity to the manufacturing of some important products like steel, coal is an indispensable ingredient. Here are some of the most common applications of coal:

  • Electricity and Domestic Purpose: First and foremost, coal is an essential raw material for producing electricity, and coal used for this purpose is known as thermal coal. Interestingly, it powers many equipment that we use in our factories, offices, and homes. This is what makes it valuable for steam coal buyers. Many countries depend on coal for electricity because other alternatives like oil and natural gas are more expensive. People also ignite fire using coal to keep their houses warm and even prepare food. 

  • Several Industrial Applications: There are uncountable uses of industrial coal. It is a major component in making coke, which is used in the manufacturing of steel. Besides, there are some chemical products like fertilizers, which are made from coal. 

  • Other Daily Products: Do you know that coal serves as a key ingredient for some products that we use on a daily basis? For example:
     
    - Activated carbon: Used for air and water purification.

    - Silicon metal: Used for making cosmetics, lubricants, resins, hair products, etc.

    - Carbon foam: Used mainly in military and aerospace products.

    - Liquefaction and Gasification: Coal is converted into synthetic fuels that work as gasoline or diesel. Moreover, the gasification of coal results in the synthesis of syngas, which is converted into transportation fuels.

    - Economic Contributions: Coal plays a vital role in the economic growth of any nation. It helps generate revenue not only through creating job opportunities but also through infrastructure development.
