The Science of Victorian Brown Coal | ScienceDirect
Victorian brown coals represent one of the purest and most extensive concentrations of organic matter anywhere in the world with ash yields generally less than 2%. These coals typically contain 69.6% carbon, 5.0% hydrogen, 24.6% oxygen, 0.5% nitrogen, and 0.3% sulfur on a dry mineral and nonmineral-inorganic free basis.
THE WATER IN BROWN COAL
Table 3.1 demonstrates the range of mean moisture contents in the commercially exploited brown coal deposits in Victoria, expressed on both a wet basis (% moisture in total weight of moist coal) and relative to the dry coal (kg of water/kg of dry coal substance). It is important to note that whereas these moisture contents vary over a …

Kinetics of coal drying‐decomposition
The initial reaction rates for oxidizing the coals at 150°C were approximately 4, 6 and 8 g Oz/kg coal-h for drying temperatures of 150,225 and 300"C, respectively. A portion of this additionally consumed oxygen produces more COZ and CO. In fact, the coal drying temperature determines whether or not CO is produced in measurable quantities.

Brown Coal | Geoscience Australia
As the coal increases in rank, the carbon content — and hence the energy content — increases, whilst the moisture content decreases. In Australia, sub-bituminous, bituminous and anthracite are collectively referred to as black coal, whilst lignite is referred to as brown coal. In Europe, sub- bituminous coal is also considered to be brown coal.

The moisture content of a coal is also an important parameter in the rate of heat generation of the coal. Drying coal is an endothermic process, in which heat is absorbed, and the temperature of the coal is lowered. The adsorption of moisture on a dry coal surface is an exothermic process, with a heat producing reaction.
