Coal in Roman Britain
Author: John Robert Travis
Publisher: British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Coal has often been considered unimportant to the economy of Roman Britain, and not something that was deliberately mined. This study, based on growing archaeological evidence aims to overturn this view. Travis centres his research on Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire, tracing coal from these coalfields further afield, and finding that, in the case of Yorkshire and Derbyshire it was transported much further than has often been assumed. Lancashire presents a different case, and Travis posits that the coal was used primarily locally in industry controlled by the military.

Coal-Fired Power Generation Handbook
Author: James G. Speight
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119510139
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 786
Book Description
Rund ein Viertel des weltweiten Energieverbrauchs wird mit Kohle bestritten, und von der weltweit geförderten Kohle werden ca. 65 % an Stromerzeuger und 33 % an industrielle Abnehmer geliefert, wobei der Rest überwiegend an Verbraucher im privaten und gewerblichen Bereich geht. Es wird erwartet, dass der Anteil der Kohle am gesamten Energieverbrauch weltweit bis 2035 auf knapp 30 % steigt. Dieses Werk beschreibt die Herausforderungen und die einzelnen Schritte bei der Energieproduktion aus Kohle und befasst sich mit den Herausforderungen beim Umgang mit Umweltschutzbedenken gegen die Nutzung von Kohle in den Kraftwerken der Zukunft. Es werden neue Technologien beschrieben, mit denen die Freisetzung von schädlichen Schwefel-, Stickstoff- und Quecksilberpartikeln bei der Verbrennung von Kohle zur Stromerzeugung nahezu eliminiert werden kann. Außerdem wird beschrieben, mit welchen Technologien sich die von den Kohlekraftwerken ausgestoßenen Treibhausgase abscheiden lassen und wie es möglich ist zu verhindern, dass diese Emissionen zur globalen Erwärmung beitragen. Das Buch ist von einem der weltweit führenden Energieexperten verfasst und ist ein absolutes Muss für alle Ingenieure, Wissenschaftler und Studierenden in diesem Fachbereich, denn es dient als wertvolles Nachschlagewerk und Leitfaden in einem sich rasch verändernden Umfeld.

Neston Collieries, 1759-1855
Author: Anthony Annakin-Smith
Publisher: University of Chester
ISBN: 1910481661
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
The extraordinary story of the two early collieries at Neston, in west Cheshire, has been largely overlooked by historians. Yet, for a time the main coal mine, Ness Colliery, was more successful than most of its contemporaries in nearby south-west Lancashire and North Wales. It was the first large industrial site in west Cheshire and introduced the area’s earliest steam engine.
