Answer:
The organic compounds in coal are composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and trace amounts of a variety of other elements. Although only a few elements compose the organic compounds found in coal, these compounds are extremely complex and, as a result, they are not well understood; for example, an attempt to define the structure of just one organic compound in a brown coal (lignite) , but even this relatively simple structure is based on scientific conjecture. The organic compounds in coal produce heat when coal is burned; they also may be converted to synthetic fuels, or may be used to produce the organic chemicals shown in the centerfold illustration.
The affinities of trace elements for either the organic compounds or the minerals in coal affect the quality of the coal. If trace elements are organically bound, then it is difficult to remove them from the coal by cleaning processes, such as crushing and washing, which remove mineral matter from coal before it is burned. Organically bound trace elements may be released only by burning, or by deep chemical leaching, which is both very difficult and uneconomical. In contrast, trace elements associated with clays or pyrite may be largely removed from the coal by cleaning processes. The trace elements then may be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner or recovered and put to some other use. To date, however, the recovered mineral matter from coal has not been used for very many purposes, with a few major exceptions such as gypsum, the various forms of ash, and a small amount of germanium (used in semiconductors
