		Anthracite Coal will satisfy your needs, whether your needs for anthracite are as a fuel for residential and commercial heating, metallurgical refining and processing, fuel for electric utility power plants, or water purification and filtration
		Anthracite coal is also your best choice because there is an ample supply (several hundred years of reserves are available), it is the most economical source of energy, and is the most environmentally friendly coal, both in its clean buring and in the reclamation of the land after mining.
		For anthracite coal to be used efficiently and effectively, it is necessary that the coal be supplied in pieces as nearly uniform in size as possible.

	Anthracite coal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anthracite is similar in appearance to the mineraloid jet, and is sometimes used to imitate it.
		Anthracite may be considered to be a transition stage between ordinary bituminous coal and graphite, produced by the more or less complete elimination of the volatile constituents of the former; and it is found most abundantly in areas that have been subjected to considerable earth-movements, such as the flanks of great mountain ranges.
		Anthracite was first experimentally burned as a fuel on February 11, 1808 by Judge Jeese Fell in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on a open grate in a fireplace.

	Anthracite coal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anthracite coal is the highest of the metamorphic rank, in which the carbon content is between 92% and 98%.
		For example, the compressed layers of anthracite that are deep mined in the folded (metamorphic) Appalachian Mountains of the Coal Region of northeastern Pennsylvania are extensions of the layers of bituminous coal that are strip mined on the (sedimentary) Allegheny Plateau of Kentucky and West Virginia, and Eastern Pennsylvania.
		Anthracites of newer, tertiary or cretaceous age, are found in the Crow's Nest part of the Rocky Mountains in Canada, and at various points in the Andes in Peru.
