Coal and Peat Fires: A Global Perspective: Volume 1: Coal - Geology and Combustion

Editat de Glenn B. Stracher, Anupma Prakash, Ellina V. Sokol
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 sep 2010
Coal and Peat Fires: A Global Perspective is a compelling collection of research conducted by scientists and engineers around the world. The first of four volumes in the collection, Coal – Geology and Combustion, features chapters that discuss the origin of coal and coal fires; mining and use of coal; combustion and coal petrology; environmental and health impacts of coal fires; combustion by-products; geochemical, geophysical, and engineering methodologies for studying coal fires; the control, extinguishment, and political implications of coal fires; and much more.


  • Integrates pioneering coal-fires research, with topical coverage of remote sensing, policymaking, and more
  • Contains hundreds of tables, graphs, and high quality color images with online links to videos and multimedia presentations
  • Serves as an essential guide to the socio-economic and geo-environmental impacts of coal fires
