Abstract

Microscopic examination of thin sections of coal under reflected lights was undertaken in this study to identify the macerals in Lakhra and Chamalang coals. The golden yellow luster in Lakhra coal reflected the presence of sporinite maceral. The presence of sporinite is useful for gasification and liquefaction processes. The telinite maceral was dominant in Chamalang coal, which is a leading subgroup of vitrinite. Chamalang coal is being blended with imported coal at Pak Steel, Karachi to produce good quality coke for furnace operations.
