It was formed by the decomposition of plant matter, and it is a complex substance that can be found in many forms. Coal is divided into four classes: anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, and lignite. Elemental analysis gives empirical formulas such as C 137 H 97 O 9 NS for bituminous coal and C 240 H 90 O 4 NS for highgrade anthracite.

What is Bitumen: From Its Origins to Refined Asphalt Binder

Bitumen is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or semisolid form of petroleum. It is often confused with asphalt and tar, but they are different materials. Asphalt is a mixture of bitumen and aggregates (stone, sand, gravel), whereas tar is a thick, dark liquid derived from the distillation of coal.

Bituminous coal Wikipedia

Bituminous coal Wikipedia

Bituminous coal is formed from subbituminous coal that is buried deeply enough to be heated to 85 °C (185 °F) or higher. Bituminous coal is used primarily for electrical power generation and in the steel industry. Bituminous coal suitable for smelting iron ( coking coal or metallurgical coal) must be low in sulfur and phosphorus.
