A coal containing high amount of volatile matter will have__________________?

Correct answer: B. Low ignition temperature

  • A. Very little ash content
  • B. Low ignition temperature
  • C. High fusion point of its ash
  • D. Low adiabatic flame temperature

Explanation

Volatile matter evolves combustible gases readily, so coal containing more of it generally ignites at a lower temperature. Its ash content, ash fusion point, and adiabatic flame temperature are not fixed by volatile matter alone.
