Anthracite, a form of hard coal that is compacted and has a higher carbon content, can be used for a variety of purposes. It is therefore useful in more ways than energy production. In fact, it is a very valuable raw material for producing activated carbon. Anthracite, in addition to being used for power generation is a popular fuel that can be burned on stoves and furnaces. It's cleaner burning than ordinary soft coal.
Anthracite also has a lower environmental footprint than other forms of fossil fuels. Anthracite produces less pollutants in its energy production process and emits less sulfur dioxide into the air. This can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which contributes to global warming concerns. Also, it is good for water quality because less pollutants can be created.
Anthracite, in addition to its environmental advantages, is easy to transport and store. This makes it an excellent alternative to wood for heating homes, and it can be used in places where the supply of wood is limited. It burns much faster and is able to keep your home warmer for a long time.
The cost of anthracite fuel is lower than that of wood. The coal is denser than wood and can therefore be stored more compactly while still providing the same heat. The coal burns slower than the wood and you won't have to refill your furnace or stove as frequently.
Anthracite also produces heat quickly. The higher content of carbon makes it more efficient than other coal types. Burning anthracite gives off a flame which is clean, constant and does not produce a large amount of tarry gases. It can benefit those worried about smoke and fumes.
Anthracite has been around for the longest time. A process known as coalification was used to form it. In the process, vegetation that had died millions ofyears ago was heated and pressed for an extended time. It was then that the coal became hard and brittle. This coal is considered to be one of the cleanest and most effective fossil fuels available because it contains a low concentration of volatile components and burns with a short and blue flame.
In a water purification system, the anthracite coal is very efficient at filtering impurities. The unique properties of anthracite coal allow it to reach deeper in the water. The coal can be used to remove mercury, lead, and other heavy metal contaminants. The process can remove organic substances like formaldehydes and phenols.
It can be used for single media or multiple-media filters. You can use it as a layer of pre-filtration in lieu of manganese or filter sand. The unique density of the media allows it to remain above other media during backwash and avoids mixing with them. It allows for longer filter runs and lower head losses, as well as more effective filtration.
