product of coal & petroleum

India ranks third in world after China and USA in respect of coal production. Total known geological reserves of all types of coal in India are estimated to be 209 billion tons as in 1999. The major coal reserves are spread in the states of West Bengal, Biha..

On destructive distillation, coal yields useful products like coal gas, coal tar, ammonia and coke. Generation of electricity Domestic fuel for cooking and heating Manufacture of synthetic petroleum and natural gas To heat water in steam engines..

>o C, with the passage of millions of years of time. Most of the energy needs that started with the industrial revolution some 250 years ago, and which exponentially increased in the 20 th century have been met by the reserves of coal and petroleum. The use of coal and petroleum..

Destructive Distillation of Coal - When coal is heated without air, it does not burn but produces many by-products. This process of heating coal in the absence of air is called destructive distillation of coal. The main by products are: co..

Chemical energy stored in the coal is used to heat water producing steam which turns turbines rotating electromagnets, which in turn generates electricity. The majority of power stations in Britain use coal as their energy source. It is wrong to suppose that the coal i..

Destructive distillation of coal occurs when coal is heated in the absence of air, at high temperatures. To achieve this, coal is heated in the absence of air in iron retorts, wherein the volatile material evolved is collected as distillate/condensate. The process can..

India is well placed in her deposits of coal, iron and aluminum. She is also vigorously developing her off shore oil reserves in Gujarat and Maharashtra. These basic ores are needed in most spheres of industry, infrastructure and power and for making domestic products. Coa..

Resources which are in limited amounts and cannot be renewed are called non-renewable energy resources. Fossil fuels like coal and petroleum are some examples. Petroleum products are energy-rich components of carbon which have undergone anaerobic degradation with the help of su..

Carbon is the eleventh most abundant element in the earth's crust by mass. Carbon is the first member of group IVA and a typical non-metal. Carbon exhibits allotropy and shows maximum catenation. Carbon occurs both in free state as diamond, coal etc. and also in the combined fo..
