ORIGIN AND Nature OF COAL Coal is a fossil fuel composed essentially o.pdflonkarhrishikesh
ORIGIN AND Nature OF COAL Coal is a fossil fuel composed essentially of compressed
altered plant remains. Under circumstances which have been replicated in many places on the
planet over the past 350 to 400 million years, plant tissue has been buried under anoxic (oxygen-
free) conditions, allowing plant tissue to be incompletely decomposed by anaerobic bacteria.
Economically viable coal deposits form when remains of entire forests are buried and preserved
by later sediments. Over millennia,such buried plant tissue may be converted through a series of
stages involving microbial activity, pressure,and heat into peat, lignite, sub-bituminous, and
bituminous coal,or the rarest coal, anthracite, the form of coal with the highest amount of energy
per kilogram. Coal is composed predominantly of the element carbon ( C ) along with hydrogen (
H ) and nitrogen ( N ) . Carbon content of coal ranges from 45 percent up to as much as 98
percent in rare anthracite. Most coal used to produce electricity contains between 50 and 70
percent carbon. Buming coal,therefore, produces large amounts of , themain agent of global
climate change. Question 4: Burning 1 kilogram of C produces about 3.7 kilograms of CO 2 .
Assume typical coal contains 60 percent C . How much CO 2 is released per tonne of coal
burned? Question 5: Recall that the United States produces about 1,100 million tons of coal each
year-equal to 1,000 million tonnes. How much CO 2 would be released each year? Question 6:
Slightly more than 4,000 million tonnes of coal were burned globally in 2003. How much CO 2
was produced, assuming 60 percent C content? Question 7: According to the World Coal
Institute, the world is expected to consume 7,000 million tonnes of coal each year by 2030, with
China accounting for half the projected increase. How much CO 2 would be produced by coal
burning in 2030 ? Question 8: How can global CO 2 emissions be controlled, in your view, if
these forecasts prove accurate? Discuss the implications if they are not controlled. DAL BED

in natural gas. The methane may be trapped in the sedimentary rock containing the coal. Some of
this trapped gas is released when coal is mined, which can lead to dangerous explosions. These

CHE 102: LECTURE 7 FOSSIL FUELS
An oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial plant where crude oil is transformed and refined into more useful products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, naptha, asphalt, heating oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas, and fuel oils.
Oil, coal, natural gas and other fossil fuels are called "fossil" because these fuels are the preserved carbon-hydrogen remnants of ancient life. Coal is formed from plants that decomposed and accumulated in ancient swamps.
EXAMPLES: Fossil Fuels:
Coal: Coal is the primary fuel for the production of electricity and is responsible for about 40% of the electric power supply in the United States.
Oil: Oil is the primary source for the world's transportation.
Natural Gas: About 27% of U.S. energy is fueled by natural gas. Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
CHEMISTRY: fossil fuel combustion.
One molecule of methane, combined with two oxygen molecules, react to form a carbon dioxide molecule, and two water molecules (usually given off as steam or water vapor) releasing energy. See Lecture 3 and figure below.
COAL
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock usually occurring in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams. The harder forms, such as anthracite coal, can be regarded as metamorphic rock because of later exposure to elevated temperature and pressure.
NOTE: Geologists classify rocks into three main rock types. Rocks are either a single mineral or a combinations of minerals.
Sedimentary rocks are a type of rock that formed by the accumulation or deposition of small particles (minerals or organic matter) at the Earth’s surface, subsequently followed by their cementation on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water. Examples: sandstone, limestone (see below).
Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock that is often composed of the skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, foraminifera, and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite (CaCO3).
and aragonite,
which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form". The original rock is subjected to heat and pressure, causing profound physical or chemical changes. The precursor may be a sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock. Examples: slate, marble.
Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite (see above) or dolomite. In Geology, the term marble refers to metamorphosed limestone. The Taj Mahal in the Indian city of Agra is entirely clad in marble.I was amazed to find that the limestone in the Taj Mahal structure is so transparent, the interior of this architectural masterpiece is “illuminated.”

All of us want an affordable and reliable energy source which we can only get by using coal energy. Although using coal energy is very significant for us and living without it would become impossible, we should always open our minds to the damage the continuous use of coal energy will eventually bring to us and to our environment.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Three examples of fossil
fuels
How fossil fuels cause harm
• Burning coal makes ozone, smog,
acid rain, climate change, mercury
pollution
• Oil spills damage all living things
• Natural gas is poisonous and is
colorless, odorless and tasteless. We
must add a bad smell to it in order to
prevent being killed by a gas leak.
Three examples of fossil fuels could be
a. coal
b. oil
c. natural gas
3. Coal formation
The fossil fuel that is most abundant
and least expensive is coal
The plant material that dies in swampy
areas and does not decay eventually
forms a dense material called peat.
Swamps and bogs with low oxygen
conditions slow or prevent the dead
organic material from decaying.

4. The 4 steps in coal formation are:
• a. organic matter forms peat
• b. Peat turns into lignite from heat
and pressure
• c. Lignite turns into bituminous coal
from heat and pressure
• d. bituminous coal turns into
anthracite coal from heat and
pressure
• e. accept anthracite

5. Slow change
Conditions that change peat to coal
from one form to another over
millions of years are heat and
pressure.
Older coal that has been under heat
and pressure is called anthracite.
Anthracite coal burns with less
pollution and gives off more heat than
any other type of coal.
Stages of coal:
1. Peat
2. Lignite
3. Bituminous
4. Anthracite
3. Bituminous coal:

7. Getting the coal out of the
ground:
The two main methods of coal mining
are
1. Underground or tunnel mining
which causes acid mine drainage,
damaging the environment, and black
lung disease, and killing humans.
2. Surface mining, which causes
erosion and loss of habitat for animals,
fish and birds.

8. Natural gas
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4045/5147614068_ac6f4d434e_z.jpg
At the current rate of use we will run
out of Natural Gas in about 50 years.
We get natural gas where we find oil
wells. It is trapped between layers of
rock and takes millions of years to
form.
The main ingredient of natural gas is
methane. Methane is a deadly poison
that we cannot taste, see, or smell. It
is Odorless, colorless, tasteless.
We use natural gas as fuel because it is
cleaner than coal and oil, has the
highest energy content.
9. Tar sands
The other names for tar sands are oil
sands, bituminous sands. Mining for
tar sands does great harm to the land
and it destroys the homes of forest
birds, fish and animals.

10. Oil shale
Take lots of energy to process, uses
large amounts of water, makes huge
amounts of waste.
The organic material in Oil Shale is
called Kerogen.

11. Biomass
Biomass is one alternative energy.
The term for fuel sources that come
from plant and animal waste is
biomass Bio =living or once was living
and mass = a large amount of
something.
Biomass is a lot of organic material
such as grass clippings, branches
from trees, any plant or animal
wastes such as the parts left from
meat processing plants or used oil
from restaurants.
