摘要
Pakistan is facing severe energy crisis with depleting water and gas reservoirs. Pakistan has large reserves of coal found exclusively in Sindh, Baluchistan and Punjab, but this coal is regarded as low rank (Lignite grade). Present work aimed at the determination of the quality of coal by Proximate and trace metal analysis. Three coalfields including Dukki (Baluchistan), Chamalang (Baluchistan) and Salt range (Punjab) were selected for study. Proximate analysis and calorific values of coal samples were carried out using reported protocols and trace metal analysis including Co, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cd and Cu was done by ICP employing standard procedures. Results suggested that the coal belonging to these areas is of sub-bituminous type. Chamalang coal of Baluchistan was found to be of better quality than Dukki and Salt Range coal.
