2021-11-21 Anthracite coal is even more readily available if you live in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania produces more than 90% of the anthracite used in the United States. Clean-burning. Because anthracite has a low sulfur content, It burns cleanly. Anthracite could be nicknamed "smokeless coal." High heat. Of all the fossil fuels available, anthracite ...

Both of my grandfathers were breaker boys and coal miners. My dziadzi’s stories and the life I experienced in the Anthracite Coal Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania have influenced the directions my life has taken.It is the contention of this project that the stories of breaker boys and the lives of coal miners’ families need to be told and retold often.

2015-1-1 Anthracite coal is a product of metamorphism and is associated with metamorphic rocks. Anthracite is a higher rank of coal than bituminous coal because most of the volatile material has been driven off, so that it contains between 92% and 98% carbon. Anthracite coal is difficult to ignite but burns hotter and cleaner.

2021-11-3 Anthracite is only found in the United States in the northeastern Pennsylvania coal region. Stretching approximately from Pottsville to Scranton, this region at its peak annually produced over 100 million tons of coal and employed over 160,000.

2020-4-4 The coal deposits are Pennsylvanian in age (325 million years). Extensive folding and faulting of the strata made anthracite harder than bituminous coal, lower in volatile matter, and higher in carbon. The Southern Field is the largest of the four, covering 180 square miles. It is located near the cities of Pottsville and Tamaqua.

In anthracite's heyday, huge coal breakers dotted the landscape and marked the numerous collieries in northeastern Pennsylvania. Described in 1906 as "enormous preying monsters," breakers crushed and separated anthracite into different sizes, processing it for market. Then, nearly 175,000 anthracite workers supported a million people.

The major anthracite coal site in the United States is the so-called “Coal Region” in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Because of the proximity of the Coal Region to many of the major urban areas in the East Coast, in the early 1900s, anthracite coal was the primary fuel used by

Recent studies of vitrinite reflectance, sedimentary compaction, and fluid inclusions indicate that coal-bearing strata of the Pennsylvania Anthacite region were once buried at depths ranging from 6 to as much as 9 km. Vitrinite reflectance anisotropy suggests that anthracite rank was attained by normal geothermal heating largely prior to and during Alleghanian folding.

2015-3-20 Warrior coal field, and the Pennsylvania Anthracite region are interpreted here to represent areas of higher paleo-heat flow related to syntectonic movement of hot fluids towards the foreland associated with Alleghanian deformation. In addition to the higher heat flow from these fluids, the Pennsylvania Anthracite region also was buried more ...
