There's still a bit of residual hydrogen, but not much. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bituminous_coal Seams of bituminous coal squeeze out firedamp, which is mostly methane. It has got most of the way to graphite, but occasional hydrogen atoms still hang to bits of the fused benzene ring structures that move on to become graphite. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

Most of the undesireable compounds can be removed using microwave heating: <http://drycol.com> <http://forum.bulk-online.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=19149&d=1267741801> <https://www.google.com/patents/US20070151147> which evaporates out the water, sulfur, etc. The final result is fairly close to pure graphite (carbon) depending mostly on exposure time. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

It has a much lower hydrogen content as the carbon is mostly in fused aromatic rings... meaning a *lot* more carbon than hydrogen. So while heating coal to the combustion point will produce some gasses, mostly coal will burn the carbon. Wood burns by breaking down the largely hydrogen, oxygen and carbon contained in the typical biologically created compounds into simpler molecules which form volatile gasses. These gasses then burn making the pretty flames. Once those compounds have all been burned what remains is "charcoal" which is not entirely unlike coal (hence the name) and burns without giving off further flammable gasses. These coals burn at higher temperatures than the gasses giving off a lot of radiant heat rather than producing hot gasses which exit the chimney without producing so much heat in the room. Starting with coal bypasses the gas generating stage and produces radiant heat from the start. -- Rick C

Not in the United States.

The local capitalists don't have to compete with more efficient producers inn other countries, and the local market can't buy the cheaper product they produce. Noah Webster's dictionary of American English was perhaps the first example of that approach. In the UK, of course, I mostly used metric nuts and bolts - not Whitworth. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

Electrons in liberals, are cross-threaded...

Electrons do have spin, but quantum theory demonstrates that an electron can only have two possible values of spin, and only one at time. Most electron spins end up paired but free radicals (which are more radical than liberals) can have unpaired spins and can be subject to electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Granting Mike Terrell's rather reactionary politics, there wouldn't be much point in trying to subject him to electron spin resonance spectroscopy, but since there's usually a travelling wave tube microwave amplifier in the spectrometer, some excessively liberated radical might be tempted to run the experiment anyway. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

>"How many electrons can you get for a dollar? " Now that is a good question. From dry cells to fuel cells to whatever. The math oriented are surely doomed.
