Coal has driven industrial development, but its applications as an energy source generate a great environmental impact that its exploitation poses.
1. The formation of coal
2. Is it a carbon or a mineral?
3. Coal combustion reaction
4. A special case: China
5. Life cycle of coal to obtain electricity
6. Self-evaluation test
Educational itinerary that explains coal treatment from its formation to the most common uses. In addition, combustion reactions are explained through the combustion of coal to obtain heat energy. It also includes a special case about pollution caused by the combustion of coal in some cities in China. Finally, a life cycle analysis is presented so that you can know first hand the tools that exist to assess the environmental impacts caused by the use of coal. Animations and interactive activities are combined to facilitate learning and increase motivation to study.
