South Africa remains a complex mix of different races, cultural identities, languages and ethnic bonds. During the colonial times, the Dutch East Indian introduced racial segregation. In 1795 the British took over the Cape of Good Hope, and they continue with racial segregation. The concept of race became a particularly explosive idea during ...
There are four major types (or "ranks") of coal. Rank refers to steps in a slow, natural process called "coalification," during which buried plant matter changes into an ever denser, drier, more carbon-rich, and harder material. The four ranks are: Anthracite: The highest rank of coal. It is a hard, brittle, and black lustrous coal, often referred to as hard coal, …

Coal is a crucial feedstock for South Africa's unique synfuels and petrochemicals industry and it is used by as a feedstock to produce synthesis gas (CO and H 2) via the –Lurgi fixed bed dry bottom gasification process. A detailed knowledge of coal characteristics is essential to predict. Conclusions
Coal is a readily combustible rock containing more than 50 percent by weight of carbonaceous material formed from compaction and indurations of variously altered plant remains similar to those in peat.. After a considerable amount of time, heat, and burial pressure, it is metamorphosed from peat to lignite.
