Coal : Coal is a mineral of dark brown or black colour formed from the remains of plants buried in the earth's crust millions years ago. It is very pure form of carbon. It mainly consists of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The coal deposits are spread over in the state of Jharkhand, Madhya Pardesh and West Bengal.
Destructive distillation of coal: The process of heating coal in the absence of air is called the destructive distillation of coal. Coal contains a number of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur. When coal is heated in the absence of air, a number of products are obtained. Peat has least carbon content and Anthracite has most carbon content.
The main products obtained by the destructive distillation of coal are as follows:
Coke: It is a hard, solid residue left behind destructive distillation of coal. It is pure form of carbon and used in steel manufacture, in power generations. Coal fields found near Bokaro and Jharia in Jharkhand.
Coal tar: Thick, black, opaque liquid obtained as by product of the process of destructive distillation of coal. manufacturing coke. Used in antidandruff shampoos, ointments, soaps, perfumes, and making naphthalene balls.
Coal gas: Gaseous fuel obtained as a by product of the process of manufacture coke. It is mainly composed of methane. Coal gas, gaseous mixture - mainly hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide - formed by the destructive distillation of coal and used as a fuel.
.Ammonical Liquor : The ammonia produced as a result of destructive distillation of coal is absorbed in water. The aqueous solution of ammonia, i.e. ammonium hydroxide solution is called ammonical liquor. It is used in the preparation of fertilizers such as ammonium sulphate and ammonium superphosphate.
Uses :
Petroleum : Petroleum is a naturally occuring oil that consists of hydrocarbons with some other elements, such as sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen. It is also called as rock oil.
Refining of petroleum : Petroleum is mixture of several hydrocarbons. It also contains water, salt and rocky materials. It cannot be used as crude.The process of seperating different components of petroleum is called refining of petroleum. This is done by the process of fractional distillation. The components obtained after fractional distillation are asphalt, lubricating oil, paraffin wax, fuel oil, diesel, kerosene, petrol and petroleum gas.
Pollution by Coal & Petroleum: When coal and petroleum are burnt, the products like carbon dioxide, water, oxides of nitrogen and oxides of sulphur are released into air. When combustion takes place in insufficient air (oxygen), carbon monoxide is formed instead of carbon dioxide. The oxides of sulphur, nitrogen and carbon monoxide are poisonous at high concentrations among these products - Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. The increase in amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will lead to intense global warming. Thus, we need to use these resources judiciously.
Conservation of Coat and Petroleum: General practices to reduce the consumption of coal petroleum are as follows: • Switch off the lights, fans, television and electrical appliances when not needed. • Use energy efficient appliances to save electricity. • Use stairs to climb at least up to three floors a building. • Public transport system needs to be improved, so that people can use them instead of using their personal vehicles. • On cold days, an extra sweater can be used instead of heating device like heater or sigri.
Assertion : Petroleum or crude oil pumped out of oil well is not pure. Reason : Petroleum is refined in various fraction which can be used for a specific purpose. | |||

It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
