SAPROPELIC COAL

Domain	Definition
Mining	A. Designation of coal of which the original plant material was more or less transformed by putrefaction. Complete seams of sapropelic coals are rare, but layers or bands of varying thickness within seams are more frequent. This type coal is not abundant and proves troublesome in cleaning processes with jig and dense medium washers because of its lower density relative to humic coals of the same rank and the same ash content b. A group of coals, including the cannel and torbanite types, which are largely composed of the indurated jellylike slime derived from macerated organic debris, and known as sapropel, and also of remains of spores and algae. They are typically massive, unbanded coals, which break with a conchoidal fracture and do not show, as a rule, jointing. (references)
