Bituminous Coal

Bituminous Coal or black coal is a relatively soft coal containing a tarlike substance called bitumen. Bituminous Coal is of higher quality than lignite coal but of poorer quality than anthracite. Bituminous Coal was usually formed as a result of high pressure on lignite. Bituminous Coal is an organic sedimentary rock formed by digenetic and sub metamorphic compression of peat bog material.

• Bituminous coal has been compressed and heated so that its primary constituents are macerals, vitrinite, exinite and so on
• The carbon content of bituminous coal is around 60-80%; the rest is composed of water, air, hydrogen, and sulfur, which have not been driven off from the minerals
• The heat content of bituminous coal ranges from 21 million to 30 million Btu per short ton (24 to 35 MJ/kg) on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis
• Bituminous coal is usually black, sometimes dark brown, often with well-defined bands of bright and dull material
• Bituminous coal seams are stratigraphically identified by the distinctive sequence of bright and dark bands and are classified accordingly as either "dull, bright-banded" or "bright, dull-banded" and so on

• Steam – electric power generation
• Smelting Iron ore
