Coal combustion can be described as a two-stage process. The first stage is the chemical adsorption of oxygen on the coal surface to produce intermediate substances, C x O y . The second stage is decomposition of the intermediate substances to two combustion products, i.e., CO 2 and CO.
COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS Nigerian coal is subbituminous coal, of medium quality, and non-coking. The coals have good caloric value, low ash content, and high hydrocarbon and resin content. Table 2 gives an 180 C. I. EZEKWE and A. 0.
The Nigerian coal reserves are in the excesses of three billion (3,000,000,000) tons of indicated reserves spread over seventeen coal fields and over six hundred million (600,000,000) tons of proven reserves (Obaje 2009; Raw Material Research and Development Council 2015).These coal deposits and resources are spread over 13 …
Abstract Coal is a cheap and widely abundant fossil fuel that currently accounts for a significant share (35–40%) of the global energy mix. As a result, coal-fired electricity has catalyzed rapid socioeconomic growth and sustainable development worldwide. With the rapidly growing global energy demands, emerging economies like …
The three coal samples considered originated from Northern Benue trough, Central Benue trough and In this paper, characterization and ash chemistry of selected Nigeria coal samples were investigated to determine its suitability as a solid fuel.

In Nigeria, the bulk of the energy usage is mostly for cooking at level, which is mainly derived from biomass (67% fuelwood, 6% charcoal) and fossil fuel (18% coal and kerosene [4]. The rate of usage of fuel wood as source of energy has its own disadvantages hardship on women and children, emission of toxic atmospheric pollutants …
