Question

In which form is coal used in the thermal power plant

Answer 1

mainly three classifications of coal: Anthracite, Bituminous and Lignite. Lignite has the lowest grade of coal whereas anthracite is the highest one. Power plants generally use steam coal which is a grade between anthracite and bituminous.

Coal is first milled to a fine powder, which increases the surface area and allows it to burn more quickly. In these pulverized coal combustion systems, the powdered coal is blown into the combustion chamber of a boiler where it is burnt at high temperature.

The hot gases and heat energy produced converts water – in tubes lining the boiler – into steam. The steam drives turbines which results in the generation of electricity(coal electricity, coal power plants).

Apart from the Pulverized coal-fired (PCF) power plants described above, there are Fluidised bed combustion (FBC) plants and Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants.
