商品簡介
This volume describes the occurrence, production, and use of lignites/brown coal as a fuel resource. It explains their physical properties, petrography, use in pre-industrial times and in the early industrial era, and application for electricity generation in Germany and other European countries, North America, Asia, the Indian sub-continent, the former Soviet Union, and Australia. It covers briquette production, carbonization, gasification, conversion to liquid fuels, chemical substances drawn from lignites, the development of unworked lignite deposits, hazards, leonardite, carbon capture and storage at lignite-utilizing plants, co-combustion of lignites with other fuels, comparisons with peat and sub-bituminous coals, lignite originating in isolated or undeveloped locations, and national and international standards.
