Question

Which is the ideal coal to be used for domestic use? Why?

Answer 1

Anthracite is the ideal coal for domestic use because of its exceptionally high carbon content (more than 85-90%) and little volatile matter; it burns cleanly with a continuous blue flame indoors, producing no harmful smoke, soot, or heavy odours. Furthermore, its low moisture content results in a remarkable high calorific value, which means it generates the most heat energy and burns for the longest duration, making it highly efficient and safe for household heating and cooking.
