Lignite
Lignite, or brown coal, is the lowest-ranked coal, and is placed just above peat in terms of calorific value. It is not a feature of international seaborne coal trades, primarily due to its high water content (which can reach up to 60 per cent) and its lower Btu values (which average 4000–8300 Btu/lb compared with bituminous coals, which ...

Study of Victorian Brown Coal Dewatering by Super …
The difference spectra indicate that the drying of as-received coal at room temperature using a Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) removes only 44% of moisture compared to oven drying at 105 °C. As the SAP does not completely remove the water from the coal the possibility of explosion due to oxidation of the coal powder is greatly reduced.

20 Shades of Brown Coal
The Australian resources of brown coal are estimated at over 400 billion tonnes. The current economic downturn and low prices on thermal and metallurgical coal, as well as low oil prices, may delay the development of some lignite projects and, most importantly, the development of lignite processing technologies.

Victorian brown coal is a cost effective fuel for power generation. It is very cheap to mine and low in sulphur and ash yield but the high moisture content and hence low calorific value result in high CO 2 emission intensity relative to bituminous coal. This high moisture has ensured that power stations are located adjacent to their mines to minimise handling, …
