Read MoreThe primary source of this carbon is coking coal. Coal is a key raw material in steel production. Coal is primarily used as a solid fuel to produce electricity and heat through combustion. Coke, made by carburising coal (i.e. heating in the absence of oxygen at high temperatures), is the primary reducing agent of iron ore.
Read MoreSpontaneous combustion is commonly observed at coal mines in coal spoils (though less commonly in overburden materials) and is often initiated by sulfide oxidation (see section 3.1.2.3), which is a strongly exothermic process. Spontaneous combustion at mine sites is generally mitigated by limiting the thickness of waste dumps …
