This book encompasses all aspects of trace elements in coal and is based on a consideration of a vast array of publications. As well as direct references to trace elements in coal, relevant references from allied fields are given where necessary for explanation or comparison. Much of the information is from the fast decade, in keeping with the upsurge of interest in most countries where coal is produced or used. However pertinent earlier work, especially that of the pioneer V. M. Goldschmidt (Swaine, 1988), has not been neglected. Perhaps the main impetus for knowledge of trace elements in coal is now the environmental aspects arising from the mining, treatment and usage of coal. This book is intended to be a concise, yet complete, reference work for the specialist and for the tyro, and will surely lessen what Professor J. Lukasiewicz has termed 'the degree of ignorance' of published information. it is a vade mecum for coal technologists and for coal scientists. The coverage of the origin and mode of occurrence of trace elements in coal and of some aspects of their relevance is necessarily limited. Indeed each topic merits a separate book! However , sufficient information is given to provide a proper background for the chapters dealing in detail with trace elements in coal.
