Coal rank is a measure of coal maturity and is the most fundamental parameter that relates both to the coalification history and the utilisation potential of a coal. As the rank increases, the vitrinite reflectance, carbon content, and C/H ratio of coal increase, while the coal volatile matter decreases.
