Uses and Benefits of Lignite | Lignite Energy Council
Western North Dakota has over an 800-year supply of lignite that is currently accessible and economically feasible to recover. Lignite is more accessible than other types of coal because lignite veins are located relatively near the surface, eliminating the need for underground excavation in tunnels.
Classification of water forms in lignite and analysis of energy
The water contained in lignite generally exists in various forms and the energy required to remove them from coal is also different. Thus, two different rank lignites with different water contents from Yunnan and Inner Mongolia provinces in China were selected for analyses of water forms and dewatering energy consumption.
