Combustion and Gasification of Coal

Throughout, the writing is at a level that should be understandable by general readers with modest backgrounds in chemistry. It is amply illustrated with table and charts. Appendixes supply technical data on emissions, equilibrium constants, combustion calculations, and flame temperatures. Extensive reference list. A very good introduction to the field; recommended for general library collections. General readers; upper-division undergraduate and graduate students; two-year technical program students. - Choice.A very good introduction to the field; recommended for general library collections L.A.
