Exploration, composition, and washing, burning, and gas-producer tests of a coal occurring near Coaldale, Esmeralda County, Nev

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7089838
Wartime investigation of coal deposits near Coaldale, Esmeralda County, Nev., to provide fuel for nearby Army camps and for local consumption revealed that conditions were not favorable for development of coal mines in that area. Coal had a high ash content, and its use in industrial stokers and gas producers was largely a matter of economics. Report gives complete information on the exploration, origin, and constitution of the coal deposits, and results of washing, industrial and domestic stoker burning, and gasification tests, with chemical analyses, logs, and numerous tables and illustrations.
