Coal having more porosity has higher capacity of absorbing moisture from atmosphere thus containing more amount of hygroscopic or inherent moisture. When coal is exposed to moisture a certain amount can also be held both in the spaces between the coal particles and as a film on the surface of the coal. This is known as free moisture.

Coal Testing Definition - Testing Labs in Delhi

1. Moisture The importance of determining 'Moisture' in coal arises from the fact that all coals are mined in very wet conditions. This moisture is water held within the coal itself, and is also known as 'inherent moisture'. 'Adventitious moisture' refers to Groundwater and other extraneous moisture, which gets readily evaporated.

Moisture content: Changes in moisture content; i.e., the drying or wetting of coal, have obvious effects on spontaneous heating of coal. A small quantity assists oxidation slightly whilst large quantities of moisture prevent the heating, although, as in a surface stockpile reserve, drying and wetting of the coal speeds up the heating process.

1.1 Bituminous And Subbituminous Coal Combustion

The most common heat transfer method for coal-fired boilers is the watertube method in which the hot combustion gases contact the outside of the heat transfer tubes, while the boiler water and steam are contained within the tubes. Coal-fired watertube boilers include pulverized coal, cyclone, stoker, fluidized bed, and handfed units.
