Question

Which type of coal contains the highest percentage of carbon?

Answer 1

Answer:

Anthracite

Explanation:

Anthracite has the highest carbon content, the lowest impurities, the highest energy density of all coal types, and has the highest coal rating. Anthracite is the most metamorphosed type of coal where carbon content ranges from 92% to 98%.

Anthracite is categorised into standard grade, primarily used in power generation, and high-grade (HG) and ultra-high-grade (UHG), the main uses of which are in the metallurgy industry. Anthracite constitutes around 1% of global coal reserves and is exploited in just a few countries around the world.

Answer 2

Anthracite coal has the highest carbon content.  

Explanation:

• Anthracite is the purest form of coal with the highest energy.
• In the ranking of the types of coal, Anthracite comes in the first place because it has the lowest impurities and is a highly compact energy source.
• The carbon content of this type of coal is in the "range of 92% to 98%".
• It is brittle and lustrous in nature and is frequently used in the place where high energy is needed.
• Anthracite of standard grade is mainly used for the purpose of "power generation" and high grade and ultra high grade is used in the "metallurgy industry".
