However, China and India still need to import more coal. India's imports, sourced largely from Australia, Indonesia, South Africa, and more recently from Russia, go to the many new coal-fired power plants either built or planned along the coast. While some of these power plants are built ...

These problems generally occur away from the coal mine. The problems of atmospheric emissions due to mining, cleaning, handling, and transportation of coal from the mine to the user are of lesser significance as far as the overall air pollution problems are concerned. Whenever coal is handled, ...

The REE concentration in fly ash can be higher than that of bottom ash, from the same coal combustion process (Dai et al., 2014a, bituminous coal, Xinde Mine, eastern Yunnan, China, Lin et al., 2017, coal by-products from seven different power plants in USA). Additionally, the ...
