A major concern related to the use of coal for electricity production is the
release of elements to the environment, both during combustion and from
the resulting coal combustion products (CCPs).
Analyses of feed coal and CCPs from an Indiana power plant utilizing coal
from the Powder River Basin, Wyo., provided data that characterized the
physical and chemical properties of elements in the coal and CCPs, as
well as the elements’ modes of occurrence.

Downloading Suggestion:
It is best to download a large PDF file to your hard drive rather than open
it inside your browser. (A standard click may automatically open the PDF file
inside the browser but doing so will result in a very slow load.) For guidance
on how to do this, go to [http://cpg.cr.usgs.gov/toolbox/download_advice.html]. Downloading the PDF file may take several moments but will be worth the
wait. Once it is downloaded, open the PDF from your hard drive using
Adobe Acrobat—it
will open in a fraction of the time it would take to open the PDF over
the Internet.
