The minerals include those that condense from coal gass and those associated with combustion metamorphism due to burning coal, although minerals associated with the burning of coal in industrial processed are also included.The atlas is fully illustrated in color and include photos taken in the field, in the lab and SEM photos illustrating the intricate details of the minerals as well as mineral reactions. X-ray diffractograms, mineral and gas analyses, a detailed description of each phase identified, and some thermody 606 $aCoal 606 $aPeatland animals 606 $aCoal$xGeology 606 $aPeat$xGeology 606 $aCoal$xCombustion 606 $aPeat$xCombustion 615 0$aCoal. 615 0$aPeatland animals. 615 0$aCoal$xGeology. 615 0$aPeat$xGeology. 615 0$aCoal$xCombustion. 615 0$aPeat$xCombustion. 676 $a662.62 676 $a553.2 701 $aStracher$b Glenn B$01822334 701 $aPrakash$b Anupma$01822335 701 $aSokol$b Ellina V$01822336 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911004760803321 996 $aCoal-geology and combustion$94388500 997 $aUNINA
