Summary

For the open-file report we collected new coking coal samples from Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Arkansas and analyzed them for proximate and ultimate analyses; calorific value; sulfur forms; major-, minor-, and trace-element abundances; free swelling indices; Gieseler plasticity; ASTM dilatation; coal petrography, and several other tests [air-dry loss (ADL), residual moisture (RM), equilibrium moisture (EQM), and true specific gravity (TSG)]. Coal Stability Factor (CSF) and Coal Strength after Reaction with CO2 (CSR) were predicted using chemical, rheological, and petrographic data (pCSF and pCSR, respectively). In addition, data from previously analyzed samples in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, and Kentucky were shared [...]

Purpose

These data were obtained to present examples of typical coking coal data for deposits that have been mined in the Arkoma and Appalachian basins in the United States between 2009 and 2015. In addition the USBM data lists the amount of coal purchased for manufacturing oven-coke in Pennsylvania from 1942-1965, and the amounts of coal of coal received by oven-coke plants in Pennsylvania from 1966-1976.
