3. Amorphous Carbon
Amorphous carbon or free, reactive carbon, is an allotrope of carbon
that does not have any crystalline structure.
Coal and soot or carbon black are informally called amorphous carbon.
While entirely amorphous carbon can be produced, most amorphous carbon
actually contains microscopic crystals of graphite-like, or even diamond-
like carbon.
4. Amorphous Carbon
The coal industry divides coal up into various grades
depending on the amount of carbon present in the sample
compared to the amount of impurities. The highest grade,
anthracite, is about 90% carbon and 10% other elements.
Bituminous coal is about 75–90% carbon, and lignite is the
name for coal that is around 55% carbon.
