Abstract
This project looks at Fuel assessment of coal as an industrial mineral, a case study of Egbute camp coal, Okeluse, Ondo State. An assessment was conducted on the coal deposit of Egbute camp of Okeluse town in Ondo-State using a proximate analytical approach in order to ascertain the fuel (calorific value) capacity of the coal. It was observed that the Egbute camp coal of Okeluse contains 11.8% moisture content, 26.6% volatile matter, 25.6% Ash content and 36% of the total fixed carbon, which could be linked to falling within the rank of bituminous coal as compared with the ASTMD 388 ranking Standard. It was also confirmed that the Egbute camp coal possesses a high calorific value because of the considerable amount of the proximate parameter result obtained. The coal would, therefore, be suitable as an industrial material for consumer products such as domestic fuel and power generators.
