Coal Resources
Coal is a fossil fuel of sedimentary origin that has formed by coalification of vegetation over millions of years. Black coal consists of the higher rank anthracite, bituminous and sub-bituminous coals. The lower rank brown coal is sometimes known as lignite. In Australia coal deposits occur in all States and the Northern Territory and range from 15 million to 225 million years old.

Coal is primarily used as a fuel to generate electricity and in Australia is used to produce about 80% of the nation's electricity requirements. A special type of coal used to produce coke for the steel making process and by-products of coke-making include coal tar, ammonia, lights oils and coal gas. Coal is used in cement manufacturing, food processing, paper manufacturing and alumina refineries.

Black coal was first discovered in Newcastle 1791 and coal mining and exports commenced soon after in 1799. These early coal mining activities made a significant contribution to the progress of European settlement in Australia. With the progressive spread of settlement to other locations in Australia lead to further discoveries and mining of black coal including the discovery of coal near Ipswich in 1825, at Cape Paterson in Victoria in 1826 and Irwin River in Western Australia in 1846. Knowledge of the existence of brown coal in Victoria dates back to 1857. The Yallourn North open-cut began production in 1889. Since the late 1700s about 9,100 million tonnes of black coal and about 2,300 million tonnes of brown coal have been mined and the Australian coal industry provides significant employment, capital investment and domestic and export income to the national economy.

Each year Geoscience Australia estimates the coal resources in Australia including the Economic Demonstrated Resources (EDR), Sub-Economics Resources and Inferred Resources. This estimate is published each year in Australia's Identified Mineral Resources (AIMR).

Australia has 6 per cent of the world's black coal EDR and ranks sixth behind USA (31 per cent), Russia (21 per cent), China (13 per cent), India (8 per cent) and South Africa (7 per cent). Australia has about 25 per cent of world recoverable brown coal EDR and is ranked first. Australia is a major producer and exporter of coal and in 2008 accounted for about 6% of the world's black coal production and ranked fourth largest producer after China (45 per cent), USA (18 per cent) and India (8 per cent). Australia accounted for about 8 per cent of the world's brown coal production and ranked fifth largest producer after Germany (20 per cent), China (11 per cent), USA (9 per cent), Russia (9 per cent) and Greece (8 per cent).

And graphite is often the main ingredient.

This copy and paste information is correct, to the best of my limited knowledge.

Coal is NOT a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons are molecules comprised entirely of carbon and hydrogen.

Coal is a fossil fuel, although it certainly never underwent "fossilization", such as petrified wood, in which all the original carbon content has been replaced with silica.

Wood can be burned as fuel. Petrified wood is not fossil fuel, nor can it burn.

Typically, the main ingredient in coal is graphite.

Graphite is a very large molecule with a honey comb sheet structure.

The chemical formula for graphite is simply "C", because carbon is the only element present in the gigantic molecules in which every carbon atom is single bonded or double bonded to the carbon atoms next to it.

The honey comb appearance is because the carbon atoms form hexagonal six member ring structures, with benzene like properties.

The planar sheet structure of graphite, in which the layers of sheets are not bonded to each other, means that graphite breaks easily along flat planes.

Ever break a pencil lead? Nothing is holding those sheets together.

Coke can be derived from coal.

Coke is also removed from petroleum during refining, and used the same way that coal-derived coke is used.

Steel making is just one use for coke. The coke provide the organic carbon reductant to reduce ferric iron into zero valent iron.

Coke also use be used to make batteries, or fuel for locomotives.

The post below is accurate information about coal, the fossil fuel that is NOT a hydrocarbon.

Pig iron versus carbon steel.

Iron ore, comprised of ferric iron (oxy)hydroxides must be reduced to zero valent iron to be useful as metal.

Some tribes in Africa made pig iron this way while Eurasia was still in the Bronze Age.

Organic carbon is used as reductant under high temperature conditions. This carbon is oxidized to CO2 as the ferric iron is reduced to zero valent pig iron.

Carbon steel is made by incorporating the organic carbon in coke into the metal structure, as organic carbon.

These carbon don't get oxidized to CO2, but rather remain as organic (not oxidized) carbon atoms surrounded by iron atoms in the solid matrix.

Coke, derived from coal or petroleum, was used as fuel for steam engines, not for locomotives.

Petroleum coke is STILL used to make new generation batteries.

Only copy-paste = mindlessness = having others do your thinking for you = Why are you bothering the conversation at the adults' table?

You simply believe whatever you read by people claiming omniscience ... because you are gullible in that way. If Pete Rogers tells you that gravity is generating heat because English tenses are interchangeable, you rush to embrace the gibber-babble. Then someone writes in a magazine how totally unobserved events occurred thousands to millions of years ago and you rush to embrace the gibber-babble. You never question any WACKY theory, but you rush to insult those who try to help you see through gibber-babble.

You are very gullible and you believe WACKY schytt. Enjoy!

I have already covered this numerous times. You are exceedingly gullible and will readily believe the wackiest crap, to include that your government is omniscient and without any political agenda ... while you attack those who try to help you with science, math, logic and rational thinking.

Your problem is that you get butt-hurt over having to be corrected, which happens often because you take great pride in being as stupid as a bag of gravel. As a result, you will bend over for anyone who is willing to stroke your ego and tell you that you are thoooo thmart.

You are an idiot most of the time. You are less of an idiot when you are not posting anything.

duncan61 wrote:Are you daring to suggest they are wrong and you are right.

Oh, bring it on, baby! Yes, anywhere they disagree with me, they are wrong and they are simply manipulating their people per their political agenda. They are successful to the extent that Australians, such as you, are gullible.

Tell me, how successful are they?

duncan61 wrote:... you say you do not know but Geoscience Australia claims to know.

Correct. They claim to be omniscient and to be able to travel through time ... and you won't question anything they tell you, you won't ever call boooolsch't, you will just bend over as ordered and you will attack anyone who tries to help you.

You are gullible.

"geoscientific" is a buzzword. I'm waiting for you to answer my question above. If you don't answer my question, I'll have all the answer I need.

Watching you try to mock others is absolutely hilarious. You need to be a bit smarter than you are to do that effectively.

This copy and paste information is correct, to the best of my limited knowledge.

Coal is NOT a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons are molecules comprised entirely of carbon and hydrogen.

Coal is a fossil fuel,

I will call this argument 1). Coal is not a fossil. It is carbon.
sealover wrote:
although it certainly never underwent "fossilization", such as petrified wood, in which all the original carbon content has been replaced with silica.

Wood can be burned as fuel. Petrified wood is not fossil fuel, nor can it burn.

I will call this argument 2). You are now locked in paradox. You are being irrational.
sealover wrote:
Typically, the main ingredient in coal is graphite.

Graphite is a very large molecule with a honey comb sheet structure.

Coal is not graphite.
sealover wrote:
The chemical formula for graphite is simply "C", because carbon is the only element present in the gigantic molecules in which every carbon atom is single bonded or double bonded to the carbon atoms next to it.

Coal is not graphite.
sealover wrote:
The honey comb appearance is because the carbon atoms form hexagonal six member ring structures, with benzene like properties.

The planar sheet structure of graphite, in which the layers of sheets are not bonded to each other, means that graphite breaks easily along flat planes.

Coal is not graphite.
sealover wrote:
Ever break a pencil lead? Nothing is holding those sheets together.

Pencil lead is not graphite. It contains graphite, but it is not graphite. Pencil lead is graphite mixed with clay as a binder. Depending on the mix, you can get various hardnesses of pencil lead. Common No. 2 pencil lead is rated HB hardness.

Coke can be derived from coal.

Coke is also removed from petroleum during refining, and used the same way that coal-derived coke is used.

Coke is not removed from petroleum during refining. You CAN make coke out of petroleum though.

Steel making is just one use for coke. The coke provide the organic carbon reductant to reduce ferric iron into zero valent iron.

Carbon is not organic. There is no such thing as 'ferric iron'. Gibber babble.

Coke is not used in any commercially available battery.

Diesel-electric locomotives use diesel oil. Some older engines used coal to fire an external combustion engine (steam engine in this case). They didn't use coke. Too expensive and unnecessary. Some of them used wood. Solid firebox type locomotives used either. The railway I worked on used diesel oil fired steam locomotives.

Most of your post makes no sense at all.Its like you are a politician screaming down the other side.It makes you out to be a bit obsessed.Why are there 2 piles now.Coal comes from the ground.It was formed by geological processes.Where is this heat from gravity coming from.When did that start.You are the only person I know that thinks that happened.I have answered pile A and B.put it all in one place its called research

They are wrong for making such a bold statement. They don't know what happened, and neither do you.

They don't. They don't have a time machine. They have made an omniscience fallacy. You have made a false authority fallacy (and an omniscience fallacy by claiming their argument, mindlessly). Circular argument fallacy (fundamentalism).

That is correct. They have nothing. Sampling and testing is not capable of observing an unobserved event. It is not a time machine.

Obviously you believe in The Data.

You attempted to call gravity heat.
You attempted to call religion research.
You attempted to play word games.
You attempted to speak for others.
You attempted to prove a circular argument True.

From your many accolades to Pete Rogers for his posts that "make perfect sense."

On multiple occasions, Pete Rogers attempted to show how gravity became additional energy (through "negative work") which thusly increased the earth's average global temperature by roughly 30 degrees Celsius. I would respond to your posts with relevant quotes from Pete Rogers posts and you always rationalized Pete Rogers' claims as making perfect sense.

Now you are playing coy and pretending that you never fawned over the WACKY crap that Pete Rogers was spouting. Once again you are being highly dishonest.
