Utilization Studies Of Enugu Coal

This study has its theme as a utilization studies of Enugu coals with the view of studying its properties, classification, preparation storage etc comparing coals obtained from different locations.
The Enugu coal is a sub-bitummous and non coking coal. It is very rich in waxes and resins, thus it may be suitable for the production of liquid fuels and a range of chemical raw materials.
After all necessary studies which includes proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, caebonization tests, classification test, chemical and petrographic propertics, coal blending studies, from coking studies etc a wide range of chemical products was found present in the Enugu coal. It is obvious that for waxy and resinous materials of which Enugu coal is there are rumbrous applications in the chemical industry.
The development and acquisition of coal utilization technology was this frustrated due to coal fields were underdeveloped and this inadvently contributed to near abandonment of the existing coal field. In solving the problem associated with this, the country must therefore follow the foot-steps of the industrialized nations by encouraging research and also voting in large sums of money on developments of coal associated with the extraction, processing and use of coal.
